Read the excerpt from the eResource below and answer the question that follows. An examination of a school handbook from a local public high school shows that the "expectations" of students are more like laws by which a citizen must abide to live in a society. "Respect the teacher's position as leader in the classroom . . . " sounds like a statement of a tyrant. These "expectations" seem forced upon the students with no freedom. If schools want students to be successful citizens, they should allow students to take the courses they want and let them breathe. Which change would make the evidence stronger? supporting the analogical evidence with empirical evidence by providing a comparison to a similar situation in a foreign country supporting the empirical evidence with anecdotal evidence by giving an example of how a specific teacher enforced the rules supporting the anecdotal evidence with empirical evidence by examining a range of school handbooks from various public schools supporting the anecdotal evidence with empirical evidence that suggests schools are wasting money by enforcing rules

Answer:

Supporting the anecdotal evidence with empirical evidence by examining a range of school handbooks from various public schools.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, it is unclear whether the analogy given can really apply to all public schools. The claim that the handbook of the school is like a code of law is too anecdotal. A way to improve this claim would be by supporting it with empirical evidence. In particular, examining a range of school handbooks from various public schools would strengthen the argument significantly.
