Evaluating an Argument
Judging whether an author's claim is adequately supported by relevant, sufficient evidence and sound reasoning, rather than by emotion, anecdote, or faulty logic.
An argument has a claim, evidence, and reasoning that links them. TEAS items may ask which statement would strengthen or weaken the author’s argument — the right answer always bears directly on the claim.
