Question

in a group discussion, which statement most clearly uses evidence to support a conclusion? a. the author makes some good points, but i feel that he's ultimately biased. b. the author obviously hates the way fast food tastes, which is why he's negative. c. the author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like ''silly'' and "stupid". d. the author first criticizes fast food, and then goes on criticize junk food

Answer 1

Answer: C) The author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like "silly" and "stupid."

Explanation: The words "silly" and "stupid" are the only instances of evidence among the options, since they were taken directly from the text that is being discussed. The closest example of bringing the text's content into the discussion is in option C (stating what the author has expressed), but that option doesn't present any conclusion. Option A is presented as a personal opinion with a vague origin ("I feel") and option B tries to back the presented conclusion with an assumption ("the author obviously hates [...] fast food") instead of evidence.

Answer 2

The author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like "silly" and "stupid."
