Answer 1

The sentence that best describes the quality of the evidence in the passage is: The evidence is relevant, but it is not sufficient.

While the passage presents relevant data about local businesses and their positive impact on the local economy, the evidence is somewhat limited in scope and does not provide a comprehensive view of the overall effects of chain stores vs. local businesses.
