A statement summarizing Smith's claim
Examples of Smith's reasoning and evidence.
Answer: Options A and B.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, the statement summarizing Smith’s claim provides the reader with all the essential information about it since not only it includes the claim but the conclusion since such is already present in the claim.
Additionally, using examples of her reasoning and evidence allows the reader to form his own informed opinion in light of the empirical and factual evidence which supports the claim. The effect of such evidence is that the claim becomes credible because it is supported by documented data that can be analyzed by the reader himself to arrive to a conclusion.
