What is effective supporting evidence?
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

The correct answer is A. Evidence relevant to the author’s argument

Explanation:

In writing and speeches, supporting evidence is information including statistics, examples, quotes, etc that helps the author of a text or the speaker in a speech to explain and prove his position or argument. Because of this, effective evidence needs to be directly related to the main argument of the author and needs to support it instead of being contradictory. Also, evidence needs to v¿be relevant which means it effectively proves the argument is valid. Considering this, the statement that defines effective supporting evidence is evidence relevant to the author's argument
