Answer 1

This is a difficult question because the paragraph says that the scientists found the crater was dated back to the time the dinosaurs became extinct according to the fossil record, so that would make it true, but what it does not say is where they got the fossil record from or how the fossil record is correct, so that would make it false. So I would put it in as false.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The crater and the fossil record are examples of researched data that support Courtney's explanation. This data can be called evidence.

Evidence is the term used to describe something that can be confirmed as true through concrete data that has been evaluated and that can be justified based on scientific and / or social facts that support an information that is true.
