Hello. Unfortunately it is not possible to answer your question, because you did not submit the text it refers to, however, I will try to help you as best I can.
The tools used in a text to support the information presented by the author are called textual evidence. This evidence aims to show that the author's statements are true, presenting facts that justify the statements presented.
In that case, to find out what kind of evidence Rodriguez used to support the claims in his text, you should read the text and pay attention to the following elements:
1. If Rodrigues justifies his statement, with a short story that has an ironic and playful tone, it is because he used an anecdote.
2. If he justified the statements by presenting graphs, rankings, numbers and mathematical elements, it is because he used statistics.
3. If he used the opinion of someone who is an expert in the subject he is presenting, it is because he used the testimony of an expert.
A flat tire is fixed by pumping the tire up. If this don’t work then you have a hole somewhere. If that is the case you need a jack, something to get the nuts off, and a spare tire. Start by jacking the car up on which ever side the tire is flat on. Then take pliers or whatever you have and start unscrewing those. You should be able to take the tire off after you gets those loosened and in a pile so you don’t loose them. Then take the spare tire and put it on the axil thing. Take the nuts and tighten them as much at you can. Then take the flat tire and put it in your trunk. Go to the nearest auto shop and have them check your work and then buy a new tire!
