Question

which phrase describes evidence? (1 point)

○ a statement put forth in support of an argument

○ an opinion formed based on facts

○ reasons to support a claim

○ specific information that supports an idea

Explanation:

To determine the correct phrase for "evidence", we analyze each option:

• "a statement put forth in support of an argument" is more about a claim or assertion, not evidence.
• "an opinion formed based on facts" is an inference or conclusion, not evidence.
• "reasons to support a claim" are justifications, not the specific info that is evidence.
• "specific information that supports an idea" matches the definition of evidence, as evidence is concrete, specific data/info that backs an idea/claim.

Answer:

D. specific information that supports an idea
