Question

in her article \why should i vote?\ stephanie geggin crafts a well - organized and coherent argument. she states that every person of voting age who is registered to vote, you should be. in conclusion, goggins argument is laid out in a thoughtful and thorough way that is convincing to readers. which element is missing from this evaluation?

• summary of the claim
• thesis statement
• concluding statement
• evaluation of evidence

Explanation:

To determine the missing element, we analyze each option:

• A "summary of the claim" is somewhat present as the article's main argument (voting importance, registering) is touched on.
• A "thesis statement" is implied in the argument's focus.
• A "concluding statement" is present ("In conclusion...").
• An "evaluation of evidence" is missing because the analysis describes the argument's structure and conclusion but does not assess the evidence (e.g., data, examples) used to support the claims.

Answer:

D. evaluation of evidence
