This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
What elements should be included in a paragraph that evaluates a writer’s argument? Select three options.
a brief biography of the writer
a summary of the writer's claim
an analysis of the writer's concluding statements
an analysis of the writer's reasons and evidence
a response to the writer's position saying if it is right or wrong
Answer:
The correct answers are:
an analysis of the writer's concluding statements
an analysis of the writer's reasons and evidence
a response to the writer's position saying if it is right or wrong
Explanation:
If we are going to evaluate a writer's argument, his biography would not be useful to us, what happened in his life is not important for the argument he is presenting.
Nor do we need to write a summary of the writer's claim, since that does not provide any new information, it is only a summary.
But we will need an analysis and an response.
Whether we agree with the writer's point of view or not, we must first analyze what he has written, and then give a return of it.
Therefore, the correct answers will be:
- an analysis of the writer's concluding statements
- an analysis of the writer's reasons and evidence
- a response to the writer's position saying if it is right or wrong
