Evidence answers the question "What is the proof for the claim?" It provides support and credibility for the author's argument by presenting facts, examples, statistics, and expert opinions that back up the claim being made. Without evidence, the argument lacks substance and can be dismissed as mere opinion or speculation. By providing evidence, the author strengthens their argument and persuades the reader of the validity of their claim.
