Question

part b
how does the author support this claim?
a by citing the decrease in park visitors
b by providing evidence of successful results
c by indicating how much money the park lost
d by describing the president’s commitment to the park

Explanation:

To determine how the author supports the claim, we analyze each option. Option A (decrease in park visitors) and C (money lost) suggest negative aspects, while D (president’s commitment) is about a person’s stance. Supporting a claim often involves showing positive, successful outcomes. So providing evidence of successful results (Option B) is a common way to support a claim.

Answer:

B. by providing evidence of successful results
