Which evidence from the text supports the idea that the ERA came very close to ratification?

In 1983, fifty-six cosponsors in the Senate reintroduced it.
Thirty-five states approved it before the 1979 deadline.
A seven-year time limit had to be paced on the bill's ratification.
The amendment was reintroduced in Congress on July 14, 1982.

Answer 1

Thirty-five states approved it before the 1979 deadline.

Step-by-step explanation:

The evidence from the text supports the idea that the ERA came very close to ratification is that thirty-five states approved it before the 1979 deadline.

This is because, according to the excerpt, the ERA( Equal Rights Amendment) was ratified by thirty-five states in the next ten years which was just three more states short of making it valid and for it to become a law.
