Question

which statements describe a text with an argumentative structure? select three options.
□ it states an opinion.
□ it offers reasons and evidence.
□ it acknowledges opposing claims.
□ it uses words such as problem, solve, and answer.
□ it uses words such as likewise, similarly, and in contrast.

Explanation:

Argumentative texts center on advancing a clear stance, supporting it with proof, and addressing counterpoints to strengthen the position. Phrases like "problem/solve" relate to problem-solution structures, while "likewise/similarly" signal compare-contrast structures, which are not core to argumentative writing.

Answer:

• It states an opinion.
• It offers reasons and evidence.
• It acknowledges opposing claims.
