Resposta esperada

The district should adopt the mandatory community-service requirement for all high-school students. Two pieces of evidence are the survey showing 70% of students improved time-management skills and reports from local nonprofits that volunteers completed tasks more independently. The survey is the stronger evidence because it provides quantified results from many students, making the claim more generalizable; the nonprofits' observations are useful but more anecdotal and descriptive.

Explicação

A resposta apresenta de forma clara o argumento principal do autor e identifica duas evidências que sustentam essa argumentação. A análise da força das evidências é bem fundamentada, destacando a importância de dados quantitativos em comparação com relatos qualitativos. Essa abordagem torna a argumentação mais convincente e acessível, permitindo uma compreensão mais profunda dos resultados da pesquisa.
