presenting a claim and evidence

using headings or subheadings in a short text

Answer 1

The two correct answers are:

1. Presenting a claim and evidence: This method helps readers clearly understand the argument being made and the support behind it, making it easier to navigate the text and assess the credibility of the claims.

2. Using headings or subheadings in a short text: Headings and subheadings serve as signposts throughout the text, allowing readers to quickly locate specific sections and understand the organization of the content, which aids in navigation and comprehension.

Explanation of why the others are not the best choices:

• Separating a long text into chapters: While chapters can help organize a long text, they may not directly help readers navigate the evidence within the text itself as effectively as specific claims and evidence or headings do.

• Asking readers questions within the text: This can engage readers but may not provide clear guidance on navigating evidence and could lead to confusion if not structured well.

• Keeping the text as short as possible: A shorter text may not provide enough information or detail to adequately present evidence, and shortening can sometimes reduce clarity, making it harder for readers to navigate the evidence effectively.
