Question

What is the Claim. Evidence Reasoning

Answer 1

Answer:

The claim of the paragraph seems to be how the US government can help close the gender gap in the Senate and what the gap is caused by and what will come of getting rid of that gap.

Some evidence is the first sentence, which it says "the US government would help  close the gender gap in the Senate". Also, it has statistical evidence, such as "only 21% of US Senate seats were occupied by  women in 2017." that tell more of the gender gap, along with "A study conducted by Political Parity, a nonpartisan  organization, shows that the biggest barriers blocking women from  running for Senate are fundraising needs and the parties' perceived  preference for male candidates.". And then, to tell what will become of America be removing that gap, it says "requiring political parties to

support female candidates for the Senate would help create a

government that more fairly represents American women.".
