Rhetorical Function of Evidence
The author’s reference to the study by the National Center for Fair and Open Testing on standardized testing is an effective rhetorical choice primarily because it:

It presents a controversial viewpoint that contradicts the author’s main thesis, demonstrating objectivity.
B
It provides a credible, relevant source that is introduced with context and seamlessly integrated to support the author’s argument.
C
It introduces a hypothetical scenario that speculates on future trends in educational assessment.
D
It offers an anecdotal account that appeals to the readers’ emotions rather than their logical reasoning.
