Answer:
The statement 'A 1993 study showed that teachers tend to favor males over females, thereby creating an inequality in mixed-gender schools' provides the best supporting evidence for the claim.
Explanation:
Statement D best supports the claims because it provides evidence based on researches and data. A hypothesis statement or claim is always considered to be true when it is supported by sufficient researches and statistical data. Statement D is using research and data from a 1993 study to claim its point. Hence, it is the best statement that supports the claims.
The other options do not provide any research or data study to support their claim hence, other options are wrong.
This is of course somewhat of a subjective question, but in general most would agree that Beats emulated "<span>D. Ezra Pound" since their tactics were similar. </span>
She does not seem impulsive: she seems to be working steadily towards the goal (defeating the Nazis) (so she is also not unsteady).
I think that the best word to describe her is "resilient" -for example because she went back to work after sustaining an injury.
Option 1:
Measuring the heights of every fiftieth person on the school roster to determine the average heights of the boys in the school
Comment: this might not be a good idea for fairness as we only wish to determine average height of the boys. Taking a group of 50 people randomly, might not give us the same number of boys every time.
Option 2:
Calling every third person on the soccer team’s roster to determine how many of the team members have completed their fundraising assignment
Comment: The context doesn't seem to need a sampling. The number of players in a soccer team is considerably small. We can find exact data by asking in person.
Option 3:
Observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses
Comment: To get a more accurate result and fairer sampling, the period of observing could have been longer, for example, observing for 12 hours on that day, or an alternative is to observe at 5 pm for 7 days in a row. It could happen that no one walking down the Main street precisely at 5 pm wears glasses, or it could happen the other way around.
Option 4:
Sending a confidential e-mail survey to every one-hundredth parent in the school district to determine the overall satisfaction of the residents of the town taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.
Comment: This sampling does fairly represent the population, although it might be an idea to scale down the sample population, i.e. every fiftieth parent.
Answer: Option 4
