The sentence that is the best example of synthesizing claims and evidence is option D: We've all just read Angela Smith's biography on the baseball star

Explanation:

Synthesizing means reading something critically and then analyzing the writing. Writers do so by presenting new ideas based on understandings of two or more sources and then combining the ideas to make a meaningful analysis.

In a group discussion, people read and then discuss their versions of the writing. All of them discuss until they reach a conclusion that suits the best to their research. So, Option D says that everyone has already read Angela Smith's biography on the baseball star Herman Cobb and then discuss the portrayal of Herman by the author.
