Question

Read the passage. Central City Zoo is small and outdated. The animals live in cramped, barred cages built in 1946. This passage represents what type of support?
A.It is evidence because it is a fact that can be confirmed or proven.


B. It is evidence because the author is an expert.


C. It is an inference based on how the public views the size of the zoo cages.


D.It is an inference based on what the animals would report if they could speak

Answer 1

A. 
While the opinion of the author is used here (which is not necessarily fact), the fact that the author gives the year that the cages were built, and gives a description of them implies that these are both facts that provide evidence supporting the description of the Central City Zoo as being "small and outdated".
