When constructing an argument, what type of explanation should come first?

  1. Point of view

  2. Explanation of evidence

  3. Concluding statement

  4. Supporting evidence

The correct answer is: Supporting evidence

Supporting evidence should come first when constructing an argument, as it sets the foundation for the argument and provides context for the point of view and concluding statement. Point of view should not come first, as it may not have any relevance without the support of evidence. Explanation of evidence and concluding statement should come after the supporting evidence to further strengthen the argument. So, option D is the most logical and effective order of explanation in constructing an argument.
