Which sentence provides the best supporting evidence for the claim? If students spend even 10% of their time being distracted by
the opposite gender, then that is just silly. My dad has been a teacher since 1993, and I think he does fine teaching in a school that has only male students. At least 50% of my class is the opposite gender, and the amount of time they are distracted by the opposite sex is minimal. A 1993 study showed that teachers tend to favor males over females, thereby creating an inequality in mixed-gender schools.
The statement 'A 1993 study showed that teachers tend to favor males over females, thereby creating an inequality in mixed-gender schools' provides the best supporting evidence for the claim.
Explanation:
Statement D best supports the claims because it provides evidence based on researches and data. A hypothesis statement or claim is always considered to be true when it is supported by sufficient researches and statistical data. Statement D is using research and data from a 1993 study to claim its point. Hence, it is the best statement that supports the claims.
The other options do not provide any research or data study to support their claim hence, other options are wrong.
