Question

which statements describe a text with an argumentative structure? select three options. it states an opinion. it offers reasons and evidence. it acknowledges opposing claims. it uses words such as problem, solve, and answer. it uses words such as likewise, similarly, and in contrast.

Explanation:

Argumentative texts center on advancing a clear position. They start by stating an opinion (the core claim), support it with reasons and evidence to persuade readers, and often acknowledge opposing claims to strengthen their own position by addressing counterpoints. Phrases like "problem, solve, answer" relate to problem-solution structures, while "likewise, similarly, in contrast" are common in compare-contrast structures, not defining argumentative ones.

Answer:

A. It states an opinion.
B. It offers reasons and evidence.
C. It acknowledges opposing claims.
