Use the passage to answer the question. A wolf pack may have as many as twenty wolves. By three weeks of age, wolf pups are able to play. Most packs are led by an adult male and adult female. The average size of a wolf litter is around four pups. Which type of evidence does the author use to develop an argument?

Answer 1

The author uses statistical evidence and observational evidence to develop the argument. The statistics, such as the average size of a wolf litter being around four pups and the potential size of a wolf pack being as many as twenty wolves, provide concrete data to support the discussion about wolf packs. Additionally, the mention of the developmental milestone of wolf pups being able to play by three weeks of age offers observational evidence that reinforces the understanding of wolf pup behavior and development within the context of a pack.
