To determine which evidence best supports the answer in Part A, it would be important to first know what the answer in Part A actually is. However, generally speaking, the best evidence would likely be the one that directly relates to the main point or claim made in Part A regarding the creation or significance of the current U.S. flag.
Given this context, the following sentence provides strong support:
**"However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student."**
This statement directly ties to the main theme of the flag's design and its historical significance, emphasizing that a student played a crucial role in creating the flag that represents all 50 states today. If Part A is addressing the innovation or impact of the flag's design, this evidence clearly supports that assertion.
