Let's see...
Photographs of the earth from space show it to be round.

Ships would only appear to sink as they sail past the horizon if the earth were not flat.

Gravity would vary if the earth were not round.

The changing of the seasons has nothing to do with the shape of the earth. It is entirely due to the tilt of the earth's rotational axis with respect to the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun.

So the answer is: 3) changing of the season does not support the conclusion that the earth is a sphere.

There is a handful of people who believe the world is flat. Clearly, there is know actual scientific evidence that this is true, but these people are obviously not into things like science.

Their main arguments are that of conspiracy, and religion. They believe the world is flat mostly because of their religion. I'm not saying religions say the world is flat, but they believe it does. They argue that there is a conspiracy to hurt religion in which photos of a Spherical earth are made up and all science involved is also made up. Their arguments for why it is flat is that it "looks" flat. They think the fact that you see objects disappear on the horizon is because of optical illusions. Kind of like when train tracks meet in the distance. The believe in a sort of snow globe model of the world, in which the sun goes under the earth during night. I don't think they get any more technical or scientific then that, since any study of science would show that they are idiots.

You really should read your textbook instead of asking on here. You learn more that way.=0)
