When evaluating an argumentative essay, how can you tell if the evidence is sound
It is detailed, organized, and logical.
It is relevant, and valid, and free of bias.
It seems related to the argument’s main claim
It seems more reasonable than other evidence.

Answers

Answer:

below

Explanation:

You can tell if it is sound and valid if they have evidince. If it is full of opinions, then it is not valid. If it is orginized and a first grader could understand the thought pattern (in a sense) then you can know that ti is logical. Read all arguments and the one that seems most logical is.

Facts, documentation, or testimony are referred to as evidence in an argument when they are utilized to bolster a claim, bolster an argument, or come to a conclusion. Therefore, option (c) or (iii): "It seems related to the argument’s main claim is the correct answer."

How does sound evidence support an argumentative essay?

Claims are assertions about what is true, good, or what ought to be done or held to be true. Claims may be subject to dispute.

Evidence backs up the arguments made and persuades audiences to accept statements. Different types of evidence exist, and they frequently differ from one academic discipline or argument topic to another.

Arguments made during meals regarding Paul Newman's films require different kinds of evidence than arguments made during scientific discussions of global warming.

Only when necessary, and utilizing only trustworthy, diverse evidence, should personal experiences be included. To be more convincing, all evidence should be empirically and scientifically supported.

Read the lines from "A Psalm of Life."

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.

The imagery in the lines suggests that
time moves slowly and surely.
great deeds are remembered in history.
time is like an unending, perpetual desert.
each day is equivalent to a grain of sand.

Answers

Answer:

The imagery in the lines suggests that  great deeds are remembered in history.

Explanation:

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "A Psalm of Life" talks of life in general and how it is like a battlefield. The poet talks of the purpose of life and how one can live a life that is filled with sorrow and suffering along the way. Nevertheless, the poet also reveals an optimistic side of living and that one can leave a "footprint" by doing good deeds.

In the given lines from the poem, the speaker mentions how "lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime". He then uses imagery to reveal the "footprints on the sands of time". This imagery suggests that history will always remember the great deeds of people, no matter how many years passed.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Read the excerpt from Iqbal. Iqbal was standing next to his loom. Behind him was his carpet, that marvelous carpet with its complicated design in a rich blue that had never been seen before. It was perfect. Iqbal had worked better and faster than anyone else could have. The foreigners would go crazy over a rug like that. Iqbal was pale, too, but not as pale as Hussain Khan. He took the knife that we all used to cut the ends of the knots, raised it above his head, and seemed to look each of us in the eye. Then he calmly turned and cut the carpet from top to bottom, right through the middle. How does the author best reveal that Iqbal is courageous?

Read the excerpt from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.

The pigs now revealed that during the past three months they had taught themselves to read and write from an old spelling book which had belonged to Mr. Jones’s children and which had been thrown on the rubbish heap. Napoleon sent for pots of black and white paint and led the way down to the five-barred gate that gave on to the main road. Then Snowball (for it was Snowball who was best at writing) took a brush between the two knuckles of his trotter, painted out MANOR FARM from the top bar of the gate and in its place painted ANIMAL FARM.

How does the passage influence the reader’s interpretation of the text? Select two options.

The text contributes to a feeling of suspense.
The text highlights exciting events to keep the reader’s attention.
The text indicates that the story is moving toward a key event in the text.
The text furthers the plot by explaining how the pigs can read and write.
The text furthers the plot by giving details about Snowball.

Answers

Answer:

The text highlights exciting events to keep the reader’s attention.

The text indicates that the story is moving toward a key event in the text.

Explanation:

"Animal farm" is a fable written by George Orwell that features a time when animals on a farm, feeling overwhelmed by human exploitation, decide to take control of the farm and drive humans out of the farm. This fable was a satire of the Russian revolution and international politics.

The excerpt from "Animal farm" shown in the question above, presents a narration with a very fast pace where it shows the reader something extremely peculiar and exciting, which is the moment when the pigs inform that they learned to read. This catches the reader's attention, as it causes the feeling that something out of the ordinary is happening. This excerpt also presents the movement of the story, as it stimulates the feeling that the text is reaching a key moment in the narrative, which is the perception that, in an attempt to get rid of humans, pigs were increasingly similar to they.

2. not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and valor in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom and of my people.  

Explanation:

The two parts above are the parts of the speech that actually illustrate that the speech is a persuasive text.

The Queen's statement in the passage which she states that under God she has placed her chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of her people actually strengthens her persuasive approach. She was pointing out that she actually trusts her people.

Also, in the last highlighted sentence, she persuasively makes her audience understand that they will have a famous victory.
