Answer 1

Here are the correct matches for the argumentative vocabulary words to their definitions:

1. Claim - position or idea supported by reasons and backed up with evidence.
2. Argument - The main point or stand the author is taking.
3. Counterclaim - To show awareness of the other side of an argument in order to diminish it.
4. Evidence - supports the reasons to provide proof for the claim.
5. Reasons - the reason the author writes a text.
6. Purpose - the reason the author writes a text.

Note that I’ve adjusted the last two in their definitions as some are slightly misaligned; "Reasons" should typically elaborate on the claim rather than define the author's overall purpose.
