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. quotations from students
c. a testimonial from a principal
d. the results of an experiment

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A chain of logical reasoning is more about argument structure than evidence type.
• Option B: Quotations from students would be direct quotes, but the question is about the type of evidence. However, if the second paragraph uses student quotes, this could be it, but let's check others.
• Option C: A testimonial from a principal is a type of anecdotal or authoritative evidence, but we need to match the context.
• Option D: Results of an experiment are empirical evidence, but if the context is about a principal's testimonial, that's different.

Assuming the second paragraph includes a principal's testimonial, Option C is the most probable as a testimonial from a principal is a specific type of evidence (authoritative/anecdotal) used to support a claim.

Answer:

C. a testimonial from a principal
