Question

Which is an example of hypothetical evidence?

A: Most politicians hire professional speech writers to prepare what they say.
B: In his latest speech, Mayor Johnson said, “It is time for cooperation among our citizens.”
C: Two-thirds of American students believe political speeches are difficult to understand.
D: Imagine how politics would change if leaders wrote their own speeches.

Answer 1

Hypothetical evidence is based on speculation rather than on concrete facts. This is similar to a hypothesis in science. 

The closest one I can see is answer D. The writer is asking you to imagine what would happen if leaders wrote their own speeches, instead of telling you what does and is known to happen when they do write their own speeches. (I hope that wasn't too confusing.) 

Answer 2

The answer on E2020 is

D. Imagine how politics would change if leaders wrote their own speeches.
