Challenge Your Exam Readiness With Our Free GED Practice Questions

To strengthen an argument, choose evidence that is specific, measurable, and aligned with the exact claim. Option B provides a quantified reduction in CO₂ emissions per commuter following a concrete transit expansion (“bus rapid transit”), directly supporting the assertion that transit reduces emissions. Option A is anecdotal and irrelevant to emissions. Option C notes a scheduling fact without environmental impact. Option D counters the claim by focusing on car preferences rather than outcomes. On GED RLA, prefer evidence that (1) names the metric (e.g., CO₂, PM₂.₅), (2) states the direction and magnitude of change (22% fall), and (3) ties to a time frame or intervention (after BRT opened). When two options include data, pick the one that most closely matches the claim’s scope—here, emissions per commuter vs. unrelated statistics like ridership satisfaction. Always avoid vague generalities when the prompt asks for the best support; numbers with context outweigh opinions.
