What constitutes the evidence and conclusion in the given argument?

  1. "Method of Argument:"

  2. "Evidence:"

  3. "Conclusion:"

  4. "Any language learned by the geologist is learned by the historian."

The correct answer is: "Evidence:"

In the argument provided, the evidence is the statement "Any language learned by the geologist is learned by the historian." This statement serves as the factual basis on which the conclusion of the argument is drawn. The conclusion, on the other hand, is not explicitly stated in the argument given. Therefore, in this case, "Evidence:" is the correct choice as it accurately identifies the evidence presented in the argument. The other options are inapplicable in this context: - "Method of Argument:" is not relevant as the question does not pertain to the method used in the argument. - "Conclusion:" cannot be determined within the given argument as it is not explicitly stated. - The statement "Any language learned by the geologist is learned by the historian." is the evidence, not the conclusion itself.
