Read the resolution and the affirmative claim. Resolution: Higher education should be available at no cost in the US.

Affirmative claim: All students should have access to a free college education. Within the last twenty years, the average cost of college has nearly tripled, making a college degree unobtainable for many.

Which piece of evidence would be most effective for the affirmative side?

The cost of attending a trade school is about half the cost of attending a traditional college.
Students attending college in the US spend an average of nearly $26,000 a year for tuition and fees.
A recent survey determined that nearly 63 percent of high school graduates attend college.
The government spends over $720 billion to educate students from kindergarten through high school.

Students attending college in the US spend an average of nearly $26,000 a year for tuition and fees.

Explanation:

In the given resolution and the affirmative claim, the main idea is that of college education and the fees. The speaker talks of the need for a free college education for every student.

In support of the claim, the speaker provides a resolution that the United States should make higher education free of cost. And to support the claim that "the average cost of college has nearly tripled, making a college degree unobtainable for many", the best piece of evidence is sentence 2. Mentioning the amount of money required for attending college will provide the best evidence of the difficult conditions for getting a college degree.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
