The statement "In a recent study, only 12% of students enjoy volunteering" is an example of a good piece of evidence.
To determine the best answer, we need to consider what makes a statement a good piece of evidence. In general, good evidence should be objective, credible, and relevant to the claim being made. It should provide support or proof for the claim in question.
The first two statements, "My family owns a dog" and "Yellow is a calming color," do not provide any objective or verifiable evidence. They are simply personal statements without any external support.
The fourth statement, "I believe our local football team is the best," is a subjective opinion rather than evidence. It reflects the personal belief of the individual making the statement without any supporting facts or data.
However, the third statement, "In a recent study, only 12% of students enjoy volunteering," presents objective data from a study, making it a good piece of evidence. It provides specific information that can be verified and supports the claim being made about students' enjoyment of volunteering.
Therefore, the correct answer is: In a recent study, only 12% of students enjoy volunteering.
