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:

An effective argument evaluation requires supporting critical claims with evidence. Since Giovanna has stated Niemand's argument is weak due to unsubstantiated assertions, the next logical step is to provide specific text evidence from Niemand's article to back up this critique. The other options are unnecessary: the claim was already referenced, the evaluation was just stated, and the source was already identified earlier in the passage.

Answer:

text evidence from Niemand's argument
