Which of these are all part of an argument?

Question

evidence, introduction, thesis, and similarities

claim, reasons, appeals, and evidence

claim, appeals, conclusion, and evidence

appeals, reasons, comparisons, and call to action

Answer 1

The second option, claim, reasons, appeals, and evidence, includes all essential components of an argument.

• Claim: The assertion or main point being argued.
• Reasons: The rationale or justification for the claim.
• Appeals: Emotional or ethical appeals that strengthen the argument.
• Evidence: The data or information used to support the claim.

The other options include some relevant components but do not encompass all essential elements of a complete argument.
