Question

Select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric cars require much less maintenance than gas-powered cars (choice 1)

Explanation:

The claim "Electric cars are superior to gas-powered cars" needs to be supported with a piece of evidence that shows why electric cars are better than gas-powered cars. Between the two options, the first one is the only one that is in support of electric cars, because it talks about how they require less maintenance than gas-powered cars. However, the second option points out a flaw of electric cars, which is their range as compared to gas-powered cars. Therefore, the first option is correct.

Answer 2

Answer: Choice A

Explanation:

Choice A lists a positive aspect about electric cars not needing as much maintenance compared to gas powered cars. This could be perhaps due to the less moving parts. Though I think as time goes on, electric cars may wear out at around the same rate compared to gas powered cars. I'm not too familiar with the tech, so I would get a second opinion.

Choice B mentions how electric cars can't drive very far, and need frequent recharges. This is a negative statement that would make someone not an electric car and would likely make them think that gas powered cars are better. So this means we can rule out choice B.
