A.) The quality is poor; the evidence only explains one program when the author is claiming that many more will be cut.
The claim of the text states mentions that the funding will impact "important programs and services". The claim uses the plural form of program and also service to indicate that there is more than one of each of these to be affected by the cuts in funding. This makes the evidence quality poor. Only one program is mentioned so it doesn't address the entire claim.
I am not completely sure but I think the answer is mine or miner. If you think about it you have to mine in order to get the ore out. Hope this helps!!!
