Question 4 • 26-27 - C - RUSD World Lit

Which prewriting steps are part of research for an argumentative essay? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
investigating counterclaims that go against your claim
B
selecting and forming a claim about a specific topic
C
identifying evidence to include to support your reasons
D
eliminating logical fallacies, such as circular reasoning
E
citing your research sources using correct MLA format

Explanation

Research prewriting helps you develop a focused claim, learn what opposing arguments say, and find evidence for your reasons. So investigating counterclaims, forming a claim about a specific topic, and identifying supporting evidence are research steps. Eliminating logical fallacies and formatting citations are important later writing and editing tasks, rather than research steps.
