When developing an argument, what is the primary purpose of evidence?

To clarify a point
To provide facts
To support a position
To provide structure

The correct answer is: To support a position

Evidence is used in an argument to support and strengthen a specific position or claim. While options A, B, and D may also be true in some cases, they are not the primary purpose of evidence. Using evidence allows the writer to back up their argument with credible information and helps to persuade the audience to take their side. Clarifying a point, providing facts, and providing structure are important elements of developing an argument, but they are not the main purpose of evidence.
