3 is referring to statistics, which is evidence (numbers, you know).
4 might be evidence, depending on what "research shows" and how it's presented.
Timothy is writing a persuasive essay. He writes a main claim and takes some notes.
Main Claim: Children should begin taking a foreign language in elementary school.
Note 1: Learning a foreign language gets more difficult as a person gets older.
Note 2: Knowing another language is more important than ever because of increasing globalization.
Note 3: There are statistics about how long it takes to become fluent in a language.
Note 4: Research shows that learning a foreign language helps students in other subjects.
Which note should Timothy label as evidence?
