Claim By awarding trophies to individuals rather than teams, youth sports leagues create unhealthy competition between teammates. Evidence Athletes should not have to compare themselves to their own teammates during games. Strong Weak: Doesn't Support the Claim Weak: Not a Fact Weak: Not from a Credible Source

Answer 1

B (Weak: Doesn't Support the Claim), C (Weak: Not a Fact)

Answer 2

The task at hand is to evaluate the strength of the evidence provided in relation to the claim. The claim is that "youth sports leagues create unhealthy competition between teammates by awarding trophies to individuals rather than teams." The evidence given to support this claim is the statement "Athletes should not have to compare themselves to their own teammates during games."To assess the evidence, we need to determine if it is factual, supports the claim, and comes from a credible source. The evidence presented is a normative statement, which expresses an opinion or value judgment rather than an objective fact that can be empirically verified. Therefore, it lacks the factual basis required to be considered strong evidence.Furthermore, the evidence does not directly address the issue of whether individual trophies lead to unhealthy competition. It suggests that athletes should not compare themselves to teammates, but it does not explicitly link this to the practice of awarding individual trophies, nor does it provide data or research to support the claim that such awards lead to unhealthy competition.Lastly, there is no indication of the source of the evidence, which makes it difficult to assess its credibility. However, the primary concern here is not the source's credibility but rather the relevance and factual nature of the evidence itself.Considering these points, the evidence does not effectively support the claim because it is not a fact and does not directly address the claim.
