Question
"It will be messy tonight, so be sure and stay indoors," the weatherman on TV told the anchorwoman. "Lightning has already begun striking ground in our area. Thunderstorms and power outages will more than likely continue throughout the night."
"Thanks, Todd," the anchorwoman said as she looked into the camera. "We'll be right back after this quick break."
Sylvia was watching this news broadcast on TV and clicked it off on her remote control. She knew the sportscast would be on next, and she did not want to watch the commercials that would precede it.
She sighed. Friday nights were so much more fun with her friend Tracie, but Tracie was out of town, and Sylvia spent the evening alone. "I want to listen to music now," she said out loud with a smile.
Excitedly, she turned on her radio, which instantly began playing the country music station. She switched over to the oldies station, but there was only static coming through the speakers. Then she tuned her radio to the pop station, which blasted music loudly. She switched back to the oldies station's frequency, which still had only static instead of music.
"It sounds like the storm already got to the oldies' station's building," she said. "The signal is gone."

Sylvia exemplifies logical evidence in this passage by **A. making a conclusion that is based on general truths.**
She observes the current weather situation, particularly the thunderstorms affecting the area, and connects it to the lack of signal from the oldies station, concluding that the storm likely disrupted their broadcast. This reasoning is based on the general understanding that adverse weather conditions can impact radio signals.
