Question

read the claim below.
the u.s. government should increase funding for scientific agencies like nasa.
select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.
nasa helps advance scientific knowledge and provides many jobs for engineers and researchers.
nasa was formed in 1958, one year after the soviet union launched the first satellite into orbit.
government funds are limited and best spent on infrastructure projects, like fixing our bridges and railways.

Explanation:

The claim is about increasing funding for NASA. The first piece of evidence shows the positive impacts (advancing scientific knowledge and providing jobs) that justify more funding. The second is just historical formation info and not related to why funding should increase. The third is against increasing NASA funding as it suggests funds are better spent elsewhere.

Answer:

NASA helps advance scientific knowledge and provides many jobs for engineers and researchers.
