Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
Faced with the paucity of surviving texts by mid-eighteenth-century American women, historians interested in women's experience have proven resourceful at using nontextual sources. Recently, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich has turned to objects hand-sewn by New England women, maintaining that objects such as sheets, pillowcases, and quilts reveal the "flow of common life" while providing a context for political events. Discerning the historical significance of these handmade objects is not easy, however. Between today and eighteenth-century New England there looms a formidable nineteenth-century mythology that romanticized that earlier, colonial era, with its houschold production system, as a simpler time of hard work and virtuous self-sufficiency. This myth emerged as compensation for the extreme wealth and poverty generated by industrialization. As household production declined, and factory-made, store-bought goods became widespread, antiquarians avidly collected and displayed the handmade objects of their idealized forebears. Attentive to the ideological distortions of nineteenth-century mythmaking, most historians are wary of trying to discern the original meaning of colonial objects, assuming that, nowadays, such objects reveal more about nineteenth-century collectors than about eighteenth-century users. By contrast, rather than disparaging the mythmakers, Ulrich thanks them for saving so many objects made and used by ordinary women.
The passage is primarily concerned with discussing

In the rectangular coordinate system, the "D-length" between points ($$x_{1}, y_{1}$$) and ($$x_{2}, y_{2}$$) is defined as the greater of the two quantities |$$x_{1}-x_{2}$$| and |$$y_{1}-y_{2}$$|. Points R, S, and T have coordinates (-3, 1), (3, 5), and (4, 1), respectively.

A candy retailer packs pieces of fudge either in boxes of 12 pieces each or in boxes of 15 pieces each. If the retailer uses only 12-piece boxes to pack a certain batch of fudge, then 1 piece will be left over. If the retailer uses only 15-piece boxes to pack the batch, then 10 pieces will be left over and the retailer will use 7 fewer boxes than when using the 12-piece boxes. How many pieces of fudge are in the batch?
