How can the use of evidence make an essay stronger?

By providing counter-arguments
By undermining the opponent's argument
By outlining complex concepts
By illustrating the author's point

The correct answer is: By illustrating the author's point

Using evidence in an essay helps to make it stronger because it provides support for the author's argument. By providing specific examples, data, or quotes from reputable sources, the author can demonstrate the validity of their claims and persuade the reader to agree with their perspective. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the question at hand. While counter-arguments can strengthen an essay, it is not the main purpose of using evidence. Similarly, undermining the opponent's argument or outlining complex concepts may be factors in a strong essay, but not specifically related to the use of evidence. Therefore, option D is the best choice.
