Question

select the correct answer.
in the second paragraph, what type of evidence does the writer use to support her claim?
a. a chain of logical reasoning
b. a testimonial from a principal
c. the results of an experiment
d. quotations from students

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A chain of logical reasoning is more about deductive/inductive thinking, not direct evidence type here.
• Option B: A testimonial from a principal is a form of anecdotal or expert (in school context) testimony, which is a type of evidence. But we need to check others.
• Option C: Results of an experiment are empirical data, but the question is about a paragraph (likely non - experimental context).
• Option D: Quotations from students are direct statements from the target group (students), which is a common way to support a claim in educational or social - related writing (like about student experiences, opinions). Since the question is about a paragraph (probably in an educational or social science - related text), quotations from students (D) is a direct form of evidence from the relevant group.

Answer:

D. quotations from students
