Answer 1

Evidence is relevant in the following cases:

• when it comes from an expert source and supports the argument and claims
• when it relates directly to the argument and claims
• when it provides clear reasons to connect the argument and claims
• when it uses numerical data to support the argument and claims

All of the listed conditions apply, as relevant evidence strengthens an argument by supporting it with credible information, direct relation, clear reasoning, or quantitative backing.
