The answer to which one of the following questions would contribute most to an evaluation of the argument?

  1. Assumption

  2. Cannot Be True

  3. Evaluate

  4. Flaw

The correct answer is: Evaluate

In order to evaluate an argument, it is crucial to ask questions that help determine the strength or weakness of the reasoning presented. The "Evaluate" type of question is designed to assess the argument's cogency by analyzing whether the premises adequately support the conclusion. By posing an evaluation question, we can delve into whether there are any missing pieces of information, potential biases, or logical errors that might affect the validity of the argument. This type of inquiry directly targets assessing the argument's persuasiveness and can guide us towards a more informed judgment about its soundness.
