What does it mean to use evidence effectively?

  1. To cite sources correctly

  2. To weave facts into the essay

  3. To provide an opposing view

  4. To select relevant facts

The correct answer is: To select relevant facts

Using evidence effectively means choosing relevant and accurate information to support your argument. Options A and B may be useful components, but they do not fully encompass the idea of effectively using evidence. Option C is not necessarily a requirement for using evidence effectively, as it is possible to only present one side of an argument with strong evidence. Therefore, option D is the most accurate description of what it means to use evidence effectively.
