Evidence: Eli's ear infection did not respond to antibiotics.

Which statement best evaluates the relevancy and sufficiency of the evidence to this claim?



The evidence is sufficient but not relevant.

The evidence is neither relevant nor sufficient.

The evidence is relevant but not sufficient.

The evidence is both relevant and sufficient.

Answer 1

The answer is: The evidence is relevant but not sufficient.

The evidence is relevant enough to getting into an argument/ debate, and to question the claim, but it's not sufficient to win the claim. The claim is an statement in this case.
