A 3.4- Evidenc

Question 1

What is the definition of evidence?

Answer 1

Evidence includes facts, documentation, or testimony that support a claim or a thesis. Overall, evidence boils down to the materials (proof of validity) a writer has in order to support their positions. Figures, data, anecdotes, research studies, samples—- all of these things and more assist and support an author’s position in their writing.

Question 2

What is the purpose of evidence?

Answer 2

Without evidence, the world would be a fairly chaotic place. Anyone could claim anything, and how would we disprove their assertions? As mentioned before, a thesis without effective claims and valid evidence is hollow, and it doesn’t amount to anything more than a mere opinion. EVIDENCE IS THE SUPPORT MATERIAL THAT MUST ACCOMPANY THE THESIS AND CLAIMS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE CONVINCING AND REASONABLE.

Question 3

What are the aspects of effective evidence?

Answer 3

Relevant to the thesis and claims- Developed with specific information- Based on valid sources- Connected to thesis and claims.
