Question

read this passage from giovannas evaluation of an argument claiming that climate change is not affected by human activity.
niemands article on climate change in the editorial section of todays newspaper offers a weak argument. his reasoning consists of little more than unsubstantiated assertions that climate change is not affected by human activity.
in an effective evaluation, which element would follow this statement?
○ a summary of niemands claim
○ text evidence from niemands argument
○ a restatement of giovannas evaluation
○ the name and source of niemands article

Explanation:

To effectively evaluate an argument, after stating the evaluation (that Niemand's argument is weak due to unsubstantiated assertions), the next step is to provide text evidence from the argument to support the evaluation. A summary of the claim has already been referenced, a restatement of the evaluation would be redundant, and the name/source was already given. So text evidence from Niemand’s argument is needed to back up the evaluation.

Answer:

B. text evidence from Niemand’s argument
