Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence. claim: web filters at school should not be too restrictive. evidence: the majority of students surveyed reported that their schools web filters hindered their ability to perform research. why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection. research is a crucial part of a students education. students should be allowed to visit and use whatever sites they want.

Explanation:

The claim is that web filters shouldn't be too restrictive. The evidence is that web filters hinder research. The first option, "Research is a crucial part of a student's education," connects the two: if research is crucial for education and filters hinder it, then filters being too restrictive (hindering crucial research) supports the claim to not have overly restrictive filters. The second option is extreme (allowing any site) and not a logical connection to the claim about "too restrictive" (not about no restrictions at all).

Answer:

A. Research is a crucial part of a student's education.
