Question 6 For what purpose is statistical evidence important?

A:persuading
B:informing
C:entertaining
D:narrating

A:persuading

Explanation:

Statistical evidence is numbers from a source to prove a point.

A. you need statistical evidence to persuade or convince someone. Without stats, you have no numbers to base your reasons on.

B. This is still important for statistical evidence, but it is not completely necessary.

C. You definitely don't need stats for entertaining. Entertaining is like a tv show or a book.

D. When you narrate, you don't need stats. You're just telling a story.

So, the answer is A. Persuading requires statistical evidence the most.

the correct answer is a. he fairs had detailed, specific rules about what merchants could sell and how they could sell it. despite the fact that all the other answers have relevant details, they make inferences based on the passage that lacks all relevant information to support them. only the answer a makes no inferences, and can be supported by this part of the passage: "the fairs were very well organized. they featured covered galleries so that merchants could buy and sell even if rain came drumming down; cellars were so large, they resembled underground cities. at the fairs, merchants could trust the weights and measures, and a strict order prevailed for how things were to be sold."
