Answer 1

To support the argument that electric vehicles are a "great choice" for helping the environment, Dr. Linn would likely use the following passage as evidence:

• "Electric vehicles (EVs), on the other hand, produce little or no fumes or smoke."

This statement highlights the environmental benefits of EVs by emphasizing their low emissions. The other passages either focus on hybrid vehicles, limitations of EVs, or convenience of charging without directly supporting the environmental argument.
