Question

private charities are more effective at providing social services than government - funded social programs are. which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? according to zach hoover, a history professor, \it contradicts traditional american values for the government to force citizens to contribute to charities, which is essentially what funding social services through tax dollars does.\ only 56 percent of people enrolled in programs supported by the federal workforce investment act got jobs. by contrast, cincinnati works, a privately - funded readiness program, has a placement and retention rate of 84 percent. the american red cross, a private charity, responds to nearly 64,000 disasters every year and provides almost 391,000 emergency services to the countrys armed forces and their families.

Explanation:

This option provides a direct comparison of success rates between a government - funded and a private - funded social service program, which is strong evidence for the claim. The other options either focus on values (not effectiveness) or only give data about a private charity without a comparison to government - funded programs.

Answer:

Only 56 percent of people enrolled in programs supported by the federal Workforce Investment Act got jobs. By contrast, Cincinnati Works, a privately - funded readiness program, has a placement and retention rate of 84 percent.
