Read the claim and reason. Claim: Our school cafeteria should offer more meatless main dishes. Reason: There are a significant number of vegetarians attending our school. What evidence best supports the student’s reason?

The reason claims that a significant number of students at the school are vegetarians. Evidence that directly shows how many students are vegetarians is strongest: the survey found that 23 percent consider themselves vegetarians. The other choices discuss menu decisions, sources of protein, or possible meal options, but do not show how many students are vegetarian.
