Question 17 • KS-English Language Arts 9 CR

What is effective supporting evidence?

Answer
A
evidence relevant to the author’s argument
B
evidence unrelated to the author’s argument
C
evidence containing facts contradictory to the author’s argument
D
evidence containing facts partially related to the author’s argument

Explanation

Effective supporting evidence directly supports the author’s argument, so it must be relevant to the point being made. Evidence that is unrelated, contradicts the argument, or is only partly related does not provide strong support. Therefore, the correct choice is evidence relevant to the author’s argument.
