What kind of evidence should a writer use to support a claim or counterclaim? Choose three correct answers.

A writer should support a claim or counterclaim with evidence that can be checked or clearly illustrates the point. Facts provide verifiable information, statistics use numerical data, and examples show how the claim applies in a specific case. Opinions and general ideas may express a viewpoint, but by themselves they do not provide strong supporting evidence.
