The correct analysis of the roles in the debate is:
**Anita acted as the affirmative party, since she offered evidence supporting the resolution.**
This is supported by the description that Anita spoke first and supported the resolution. Lorenzo, who tried to disprove Anita's points, would be acting as the negative party. Henrique introduced the participants and explained the rules, but he was not characterized as taking a side in the resolution. The teacher, by announcing the winner without offering evidence, did indeed act as the moderator. However, the best answer to the specific question asked about the correct roles is focused on Anita's position as the affirmative party.
