Read the passage. "As the sun dropped behind the Flint Hills, Maya continued measuring soil moisture along the creek bed. Her boots were caked in sticky clay, and her hands were numb from the chilly evening breeze. Even when her brother called from the farmhouse porch to say dinner was ready, she insisted on completing the final sample line. 'If we leave a gap in tonight's data,' she explained, 'our weather prediction model for the spring planting will be off by days.'" Which piece of textual evidence BEST explicitly supports the inference that Maya prioritizes scientific accuracy over personal comfort?
