Answer
Brief Explanations:
To determine which quotations provide specific evidence for the claim (social media's role in Arab uprisings), we analyze each option:
- The first option is a general statement, not specific evidence.
- The second option ("Networks formed online...") gives specific details about organizing activists in Egypt.
- The third option ("Civil society leaders...") provides specific evidence from leaders about the role of social media.
- The fourth option ("Additionally, digital media...") gives specific details about using digital media for speech and civic engagement.
- The fifth option is about emerging research, not direct evidence of the role.
So the three options with specific evidence are the second, third, and fourth.
Answer:
B. "Networks formed online were crucial in organizing a core group of activists, specifically in Egypt." C. "Civil society leaders in Arab countries emphasized the role of 'the internet, mobile phones, and social media' in the protests." D.
