Thalia is writing a letter to the city council in her town. There is a vacant lot in her town, and some people want to turn it into a parking lot. Thalia thinks the lot should be turned into a skate park. In an outline she creates to plan her letter, she lists the following reasons:
Reason 1: There is no safe place in town for kids to skateboard or roller-skate.
Reason 2: Adults are always saying that kids need to get more exercise.
Reason 3: Another parking lot would just increase traffic downtown.
Which piece of evidence could Thalia use to support Reason 2?
(1 point)
• Local laws prevent skateboarding in parking lots.
There are over a hundred metered parking spots on the four blocks surrounding the vacant lot.
The vacant lot is in an area with a lot of shops and restaurants that many people walk to.
• Students have only two hours of physical education at school per week.

The piece of evidence Thalia could use to support Reason 2 is: Students have only two hours of physical education at school per week.
This evidence reinforces her argument by highlighting the lack of physical activity opportunities available to kids, which supports the need for a skate park where they can exercise and be active.
