Question 18 • English Language Arts 12

Which is an example of hypothetical evidence?

Answer
A
Two-thirds of American students believe political speeches are difficult to understand.
B
Imagine how politics would change if leaders wrote their own speeches.
C
In his latest speech, Mayor Johnson said, “It is time for cooperation among our citizens.”
D
Most politicians hire professional speech writers to prepare what they say.

Explanation

Hypothetical evidence asks readers to consider an imagined situation rather than presenting an observed fact or quotation. “Imagine how politics would change if leaders wrote their own speeches” describes a situation that may not be real, so it is hypothetical evidence. The other choices present a belief, a claim about politicians, or a direct quotation.
