Selections: 2, 3, 4, 5.
Brief rationale:
- Reliable evidence (2) and logical reasons (3) address the substance and reasoning of the argument.
- Clarity of the claim (4) is essential so the reader knows what’s being argued.
- Diction and tone (5) affect persuasion and audience reception.
- Empirical evidence (1) can strengthen many arguments but is not required in every effective argument, so it’s not a must in general.
