Question

which is a step in writing an argumentative speech?
select only the evidence that supports the claim.
address the cons against the claim in a single paragraph at the end.
establish a position and focus solely on evidence that supports the claim.
make a list of pros and cons regarding the claim.

Explanation:

To write an argumentative speech, a key step is to analyze both sides. Selecting only supporting evidence (first and third options) is biased. Addressing cons only at the end (second) isn't ideal. Making a pros - cons list helps in understanding the issue comprehensively to build a strong argument.

Answer:

D. Make a list of pros and cons regarding the claim.
