Question 2
Which evidence best supports the answer in Part A?
Select the two correct answers.
"Our wounded veterans deserve not only exemplary health care, but all the tools they need to re-assimilate into civilian life despite missing limbs or shattered psyches."
"In a political landscape where we can’t seem to agree on anything, it’s likely that anyone—Democrat or Republican—would be challenged to find a single service provided by charities like the Wounded Warrior Project that doesn’t deserve the full financial backing of the U.S. government."
"In advance of this year’s Veterans Day, on Nov. 11, the legions of men and women who have served in our nation’s military received some welcoming news: Congress finally agreed to fund the VA Mission Act, which since its June passage had been mired in budgetary disputes."
"Tens of thousands of men and women have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan with permanent physical handicaps and deep emotional scars—wounds they will be coping with for the rest of their lives."
Part A: The inference that the readers can make regarding the VA Mission Act's implementation would be:
A). Politicians disagreed on where the money to fund the law should come from.
Part B: The evidence that backs the aboveidea would be as follows:
B). "In a political landscape...U.S. government."
C). "In advance of this year’s Veterans Day...budgetary disputes."
The deduction that can be made about the Act's implementation is that the politicians denied stating the reason for the lack of funds.
The detail that backs this idea would be "In a political...U.S. government" and "In advance...budgetary disputes."
This shows that the lack of adequate funding has been causing trouble in this act's effective implementation.
Thus, option A for part A and options B and C are the correct answers.
