Answer

Brief Explanations:

To support the statement about the narrator hearing frightening rumors about a neighbor, we analyze the text. The relevant part is "The Radley place was inhabited by an unknown entity the mere description of whom was enough to make us behave for days on end." This shows the Radley neighbor is associated with a scary unknown entity, implying frightening rumors (since the description alone scares the kids, likely from rumors). Other parts describe the street and boundaries but not rumors. So this sentence is the best evidence.

Answer:

The sentence: "The Radley place was inhabited by an unknown entity the mere description of whom was enough to make us behave for days on end."
