The correct option that describes when an author emphasizes evidence is:
The author gives special importance to that evidence.
To identify this, you need to carefully analyze the text and look for indications that the author is intentionally highlighting certain evidence or giving it more weight. This can be done by paying attention to the language used, such as strong adjectives or repetitive statements, as well as by identifying any patterns or structures in the writing that draw attention to the evidence. Remember to consider the overall purpose and argument of the text to determine if the author's emphasis on the evidence is intended to support a particular idea or point.
