Question

review the claim and the two pieces of evidence. watching a horror movie is an effective way to cope with anxiety. evidence a: a researcher at a danish university says that watching horror movies allows people with anxiety \to voluntarily—and under controlled circumstances—get experience with negative emotion.\ he explains that it can be helpful to experience manageable anxiety about something that isnt real. evidence b: on an online forum for people with anxiety, one user explains why she encourages her friends to watch scary movies. \the rush of energy and excitement they give you can make you forget about your anxiety for a while,\ she writes. why is evidence a stronger than evidence b? evidence b does not directly support the claim. it does not discuss whether watching scary movies can help with anxiety. evidence b does not come from a credible source. it is based on the opinion of a person who is not an expert.

Explanation:

To determine why Evidence A is stronger, we analyze the sources. Evidence A comes from a researcher at a Danish university (an expert in a relevant field), while Evidence B is from a user on an online forum (a non - expert, non - credible source for academic - level evidence on this topic). The first option is incorrect because Evidence B does discuss how scary movies can help with anxiety (by making one forget anxiety for a while). So the key reason is the credibility of the source.

Answer:

Evidence B does not come from a credible source. It is based on the opinion of a person who is not an expert.
