Which type of evidence does the author use to develop an argument?

1 answer

To provide an accurate answer, I'd need to know which specific piece of writing or argument you are referring to. Generally, authors use several types of evidence to develop their arguments, including:

  1. Statistical Evidence: Data and statistics that support the claims made.
  2. Anecdotal Evidence: Personal stories or examples that illustrate a point.
  3. Expert Testimony: Quotes or interpretations from experts in the field relevant to the argument.
  4. Historical Evidence: References to historical events or trends that support the argument.
  5. Logical Reasoning: Use of logic and reasoning to connect premises to conclusions.
  6. Comparative Evidence: Comparing similar cases or situations to highlight differences or similarities that support the argument.

If you can provide more context or specify the argument or text in question, I can give a more tailored response.
