Question

consider this claim:
goats can be effective for removing weeds in many areas.
which piece of evidence better supports this claim?
evidence a: a small graphic design company in oregon rented goats to remove weeds on its grounds. the companys owner noted that the goats \devoured\ the english ivy that was harming native plants.
evidence b: it has been widely demonstrated that goats are enthusiastic eaters who can thoroughly remove stubborn invasive plant species. city and state governments across the u.s. have reported success with using goats for weed control.

Explanation:

Evidence B provides broad, widespread validation (from multiple U.S. government entities and general demonstration) that goats work for weed removal, directly supporting the claim that they are effective in many areas. Evidence A is only a single, localized case, which is weaker support for a general claim about "many areas".

Answer:

B. It has been widely demonstrated that goats are enthusiastic eaters who can thoroughly remove stubborn invasive plant species. City and state governments across the U.S. have reported success with using goats for weed control.
