A member of the March for Our Lives organization writes an editorial for his school newspaper about the need to fight gun violence in schools. What is a piece of evidence he could use to support his argument?

Answer
A
March for Our Lives is a grassroots organization that was started by high school students.
B
The number of gun violence incidents is higher in US schools than in schools in other nations.
C
Young people should become more involved in issues like the fight against gun violence.
D
Participating in March for Our Lives was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for student activists.

Explanation

Evidence should provide information that supports the claim that gun violence in schools is a serious problem. The comparison that gun violence incidents are more numerous in U.S. schools than in schools in other nations gives factual support for taking action. The other choices describe the organization, offer an opinion, or discuss activists’ experiences rather than directly supporting the argument.
