Question

consider this claim:
you should not store bread in the refrigerator.
which piece of evidence better supports this claim?
evidence a: according to a science - based cooking website, the starch content in bread means that storing it in a refrigerator makes it become dry, hard, and stale faster.
evidence b: a leading food magazine notes that many foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they retain their taste better if kept at room temperature.

Explanation:

Evidence A directly links refrigerating bread to a specific negative outcome (drying, hardening, staling faster) related to bread's properties, providing targeted support for the claim. Evidence B is a general statement about many foods, not specific to bread, so it is weaker support.

Answer:

Evidence A: According to a science-based cooking website, the starch content in bread means that storing it in a refrigerator makes it become dry, hard, and stale faster.
