transition

Explanation:

The evidence "Harriet had never held a baby, except for one brief moment when she was about six" shows her inexperience with babies. This in - turn supports the claim that the text shows Harriet's inexperience and anxiety in a babysitting situation as it directly relates to her lack of exposure to handling babies.

Answer:

The evidence presented in the "SAY" column directly supports the claim by showing Harriet's limited experience with holding babies, which is indicative of her inexperience in a babysitting context as stated in the claim.
