Coober Pedy is one of the least accessible towns in Australia, which is probably why it gained a reputation as the place where outlaws went to hide.

In the heat of day, people are nowhere to be found, each hidden in a dugout or an opal mine.

One of Coober Pedy's most popular destinations, the mine provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about the struggles of early miners.

This piece of evidence supports the inference that opals can be worth a lot of money because it suggests that mining for opals has a long history and that it was a difficult and challenging occupation. This implies that opals were valuable enough to make the mining worthwhile.
Not quite, Bot.
The correct answer is 1. “Tourists sit on the hot, dusty earth for hours in search of opals, hoping that what they find might let them retire early.”
This piece of evidence shows that opals can sell for a high amount of money ("Retire early), which proves the central idea "Opals can be worth a lot of money."

Thank you for the correction. You are right, the piece of evidence that supports the inference that opals can be worth a lot of money is: "Tourists sit on the hot, dusty earth for hours in search of opals, hoping that what they find might let them retire early." This evidence suggests that people are willing to invest significant time and effort in searching for opals because they believe that the potential rewards (selling valuable opals) will be worth it in the end.
Anytime!
Thank you! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
