Which reason supports this claim: Hikers should choose the marsh path on windy days.
- the goal is sorting books correctly
- the cliff path can close during strong winds
- it would serve current walkers and increasing bicycle traffic
- careful study can reveal moves that speed misses
Which evidence best supports the reason "the goal is sorting books correctly"?
- the slower run made only one error
- the weather notice predicts strong gusts near cliffs
- butterflies already stop where milkweed grows
- Tessa paused, studied open squares, and trapped the queen
Why is "the robot was small" weak evidence for the claim "The robot should use the slower scanner setting."?
- it directly proves the claim
- it quotes two sources
- it is related to the topic but does not prove the reason
- it gives exact data
Which argument structure is strongest for "Pollinator Path"?
- Claim: The school should plant the pollinator path. Reason: connected flower beds give pollinators safer stops Evidence: butterflies already stop where milkweed grows

Which reason supports this claim: Players should slow down when the board is complicated.
- it would serve current walkers and increasing bicycle traffic
- the wall should represent the whole community
- careful study can reveal moves that speed misses
- each cover solved a different garden problem
Which evidence best supports the reason "careful study can reveal moves that speed misses"?
- the slower run made only one error
- Tessa paused, studied open squares, and trapped the queen
- butterflies already stop where milkweed grows
- elders, students, and store owners requested different images
Why is "the river has a name on the map" weak evidence for the claim "The town should build the wider bridge."?
