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 evaluate an argument effectively, after stating the evaluation (that Niemand’s argument is weak), the next step is to provide evidence from the argument to support the evaluation. A summary of the claim or restating the evaluation doesn't add new support, and the name/source is already given. So text evidence from Niemand’s argument is needed next.

Answer:

B. text evidence from Niemand’s argument
