Read the excerpt from catching sun rays.

but there is another benefit: switching to renewable energy can create jobs. one environmental group says solar power could mean hundreds of thousands of jobs in the united states. for example, the largest solar farm on the east coast in new york created more than 200 local construction jobs. and the farm makes enough electricity each year to power 4,500 homes!

why does the evidence provided in the excerpt make the author's argument more effective?

it is vague.
it is specific.
it is complicated.
it is scientific.

The answer = It is scientific

It is scientific.

Explanation:

The argument is not very complicated, nor vague. And also, not necessarily specific either. It's just contextualized. The greatest thing about the argument is that it's based on numbers and calculations.  It has a scientific root to it that makes it more believable.

The answer is indeed C) Hyperbole

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc. In the quotation we're analyzing here, the speaker wants to make clear the love she feels is tremendous. In order to do so, she says such love is more important than "whole mines of gold, Or all the riches that the East doth hold."

Simile and metaphor are figures of speech that compare things. The first one expresses such comparison by using words such as "like" or "as". Metaphor, on the other hand, does not use such words. Synecdoche uses a part to represent a whole or vice versa. Those three figures of speech are not present in the quotation.
