Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence.
claim: terrence should not have been made team captain.
evidence: half the players on the team are more talented than terrence is.
why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection.
we should let the coach know that this was not a fair decision.
only a top player should be team captain.

Explanation:

To determine which analysis supports the claim, we analyze each option:

• "We should let the coach know that this was not a fair decision": This is about reporting unfairness, not connecting talent to captaincy.
• "Only a top player should be team captain": The evidence is about talent (half the team is more talented than Terrence), so if only top players (implying more talented) should be captain, and Terrence is less talented than half the team, this connects the evidence (talent comparison) to the claim (Terrence shouldn't be captain).

Answer:

Only a top player should be team captain.
