A writing student is evaluating a draft argument that includes source material and a possible objection. Claim: Schools should use restorative circles for some first-time conflicts before assigning detention. Source note: A planning report described both benefits and implementation limits. Draft: (1) Minor conflicts can continue when students do not discuss the harm caused. (2) Serious safety violations would still follow the district's disciplinary procedures. (3) Administrators could worry that the change involving restorative circles would require careful oversight. (4) In a pilot program, 29 of 34 first-time conflict cases resolved through circles had no repeat referral within six weeks. (5) Cost, staffing, and scheduling questions would need to be addressed separately. (6) That result supports circles because it shows the process may help students address conflict without immediately repeating the behavior. Which option best names the sentence that provides evidence and the sentence that explains the evidence's relevance?
