Explanation:

To determine which sentence is evidence, we analyze each:

• Sentence 1: States an opinion (zoos are needed) – not evidence.
• Sentence 4: Describes an education department, not direct evidence for zoo importance in protection.
• Sentence 7: Compares in - person vs documentary, not evidence for zoo's role in protection.
• Sentence 6: Explains that many zoos have breeding programs (a specific action) that help species multiply, which supports the claim that zoos protect animals (by helping species thrive). This is evidence as it provides a reason/action showing how zoos protect animals.
