The point of argumentative writing is primarily B. To make a point or offer evidence to support my position. Argumentative writing aims to convince the reader of a particular viewpoint by presenting logical reasoning, evidence, and analysis. While presenting information (A) is part of the process, the main goal is to persuade, rather than just inform. Options C and D do not align with the primary purpose of argumentative writing; storytelling and rants do not focus on structured argumentation and evidence-based support.
