Evidence and Arguments

Read this passage

Normal

When we make an argument, we support it with evidence. Evidence can be facts, numbers, or examples. Strong arguments use evidence that is true and related to the claim. We also consider other points of view. If we only look at one side, we might miss important ideas. Good thinkers use evidence and stay open to new information.
