Evaluating an Argument — Quiz

Question 3 • English Language Arts 10

What elements should be included in a paragraph that evaluates a writer’s argument? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
an analysis of the writer's concluding statements
B
a brief biography of the writer
C
a summary of the writer's claim
D
a response to the writer's position saying if it is right or wrong
E
an analysis of the writer's reasons and evidence

Explanation

An evaluation of an argument first identifies the writer’s claim, then examines how well the writer supports it. That includes analyzing the reasons and evidence, as well as the concluding statements. A brief biography is not part of evaluating the argument, and simply saying whether you agree or disagree does not assess how effectively it is supported.
