The steps for evaluating a claim typically involve the following sequence:

  1. Identify the claim - Determine what the main assertion or statement being made is.
  2. Evaluate the evidence and reasons - Assess the supporting evidence and arguments that back the claim.
  3. Trace the argument back to the claim - Follow the logic of the argument to ensure it connects back to the original claim.

Based on your options, the correct sequence would most closely resemble:

  • Identify the claim, evaluate the evidence and reasons, trace the argument back to the claim.

This process ensures that you critically assess the validity of a claim by looking at its foundations and logical consistency.
