Answer:

The evidence which supports the author's claim is:

D. "They are very social little birds, and are entirely happy amid the noise and dirt and confusion of the crowded street."

Explanation:

<u>The author's claim is that people like the sparrow. We need to find information to support that claim by explaining why that is.</u>

When we take a look at option A, all we have is a little bit of the history as to how sparrows ended spreading through the cities.

Option B mentions some qualities of the sparrow and some history, but this is still not enough to support the claim.

Option C describes some behaviors of the bird but, again, they are not the type of thing that would justify people liking them.

<u>Finally, option D is the correct one. The fact that sparrows are social would already be enough to explain why people are fond of them. But, besides that, sparrows are okay with noisy, crowded cities, which makes them even more likable.</u>

The line of dialogue which most seems to contribute to reader's understanding of Dave's character is "How could I have asked for a more rewarding evening?"

<h3>What does the line reveal?</h3>

The line of dialogue "How could I have asked for a more rewarding evening?" reveals a few things about Dave's character:

  • He will do something he does not enjoy if there is a reward involved.
  • He has a sarcastic quality to his personality.
  • He is focused on the future.

That is why option 1 seems to be the best answer. Both options 2 and 3 basically review that Dave is methodical. Option 1, however, shows all those traits he has.
