Explanation:

To support the conclusion that Clemente was good at different parts of playing baseball (making him valuable), we need evidence showing his skills in multiple aspects of the game.

• Option A talks about his team selection and tenure, not his skills in different baseball parts.
• Option B mentions he was excellent as a right fielder (defensive skill) and an incredible batter (offensive skill), showing proficiency in different aspects of baseball.
• Option C provides biographical info (birthplace, family) not related to his baseball skills.
• Option D talks about the Pirates' World Series appearance, not Clemente's individual skills.

Answer:

B. "[Clemente] played right fielder and won 12 Gold Glove Awards for his excellence in the outfield...He was also an incredible batter and hit several home runs throughout his career."
