What type of evidence should be included in an argument essay?

  1. Personal opinions

  2. Specific examples and facts

  3. Broad generalizations

  4. Unrealistic scenarios

The correct answer is: Specific examples and facts

In an argument essay, it is important to use concrete and specific evidence to support your argument. Personal opinions are subjective and may not be convincing enough for the reader. Broad generalizations and unrealistic scenarios lack factual evidence and weaken the credibility of the argument. Using specific examples and facts can help strengthen the argument and make it more persuasive to the reader.
