b. she is indifferent to its condition
c. she feels a desire to uncover its history
d she feels a sense of duty to restore it
what is a characteristic of strong textual evidence?
a it supports the opposite of the claim being made
b it is unclear and difficult to understand

Explanation:

For the first question, without context, we analyze each option. Option a implies a financial - motivated action which isn't indicated. Option b shows lack of care which is not evident. Option c, a desire to uncover history is a common emotional response to old structures like lighthouses. Option d, a sense of duty to restore is more of an action - oriented feeling rather than a feeling towards the lighthouse itself. For the second question, strong textual evidence should support the claim, not the opposite, and it should be clear and understandable.

Answer:

1. c. She feels a desire to uncover its history
2. None of the given options are correct as strong textual evidence should support the claim and be clear.
