Explanation:

Question 23

In CER (Claim - Evidence - Reasoning) writing, reasoning is used to connect the evidence to the claim. Option a is incorrect as reasoning is not for introducing new topics. Option b is wrong because reasoning should not change the original claim. Option d is incorrect as CER relies on logical explanation, not emotional appeal. Option c correctly states that reasoning explains why evidence supports the claim.

For evidence to be credible in CER writing, the source's reliability (e.g., from a trusted journal, expert) and relevance (related to the claim) are key. Option b (publication date) alone doesn't ensure credibility. Option c (length of quote) is irrelevant. Option d (technical terms) don't make evidence credible. So option a is correct.

Evidence in CER should be from reliable, factual sources (like peer - reviewed articles, official data) to be valid. Option a is wrong as multiple sources can be used. Option b is incorrect as personal opinions are not evidence. Option d is wrong as emotional language is not part of objective evidence. So option c is correct.

Answer:

c. When it explains why the evidence supports the claim
