Read the passage from an argumentative essay. vaccines are a safe and effective way to avoid harmful diseases. the proof lies in the history books—smallpox has not been seen in the united states since 1948, or anywhere else in the world since 1977. that is because smallpox vaccines eradicated the disease from the planet. despite the obvious effectiveness of vaccination, opponents argue that vaccines can contain harmful ingredients, such as aluminum, which, in excess, may lead to neurological damage. however, until studies show a direct and irrefutable link between vaccines and harmful outcomes due to their ingredients, we should continue to give our bodies the best chance for survival by receiving vaccinations. which statement best evaluates the effectiveness of the argument? the argument is faulty because some of the evidence supports a different claim than the one intended. the argument is illogical because the evidence used contains hasty generalizations about vaccines. the argument is successful because the writer’s personal experience with vaccines is supported by research. the argument is strong because the claim is supported by logical evidence and a counterclaim is considered.

D. The argument is strong because the claim is supported by logical evidence and a counterclaim is considered.

When constructing an argument, what you’ll want to do is be as objective as possible.  What this means is that even though there is an obvious opinion present by the very nature of presenting/defending a point of view, you’ll want to present information that is based on facts (logical evidence).  To have an even stronger argument, what you’ll want to do, too, is present an opposing viewpoint, which you’ll either refute or concede.  This will help your argument be viewed as balanced.

the answer is D ;)

Explanation:

D-The argument is strong because the claim is supported by logical evidence and a counterclaim is considered.
