Question

what evidence does the author provide to support the point that there are benefits of living underground?
underground homes can be found in countries all around the world.
underground homes stay at a comfortable temperature and are safe in storms.
underground homes can be made by cutting into soft rocks.
underground homes are helpful for hunting and gathering food.

Explanation:

To determine the evidence for the benefits of living underground, we analyze each option:

• The first option (Underground homes can be found in countries all around the world) only shows prevalence, not benefits.
• The second option (Underground homes stay at a comfortable temperature and are safe in storms) directly states positive aspects (comfort, safety) which are benefits.
• The third option (Underground homes can be made by cutting into soft rocks) describes construction, not benefits.
• The fourth option (Underground homes are helpful for hunting and gathering food) is not a typical or strong benefit - related claim.

So the second option provides evidence of benefits.

Answer:

B. Underground homes stay at a comfortable temperature and are safe in storms.
