Question

a student reads an article arguing that students should take a class on money strategies. which statement best explains how to evaluate whether the authors evidence is strong?
check if the author uses statistics from a recent, credible source to support the claim.
look to see whether the article is longer than one page.
make sure the author agrees with the opinions of most students.
count how many times the author uses facts or statistics instead of opinions.

question 7
what does a characters reaction to a surprising event most reveal in a myth?
it shows the characters values and helps drive the plot forward.

Explanation:

• For Question 6: A strong evidence in an argumentative article should be based on reliable data. Statistics from a recent, credible source add validity to the claim. Length of the article (page - count) is not a measure of evidence strength. An author's agreement with students' opinions (which may be unfounded) is not a valid criterion. Just counting the number of facts/statistics without considering their source and relevance is also not sufficient.
• For Question 7: In a myth (or any narrative), a character's reaction to a surprising event shows their values (e.g., courage, greed etc.). This reaction also propels the story forward as it sets off a chain of events based on how the character responds.

Answer:

Question 6: Check if the author uses statistics from a recent, credible source to support the claim.
Question 7: It shows the character's values and helps drive the plot forward.
