In argumentative writing, using evidence is crucial for establishing credibility and persuading the audience. Studies show that arguments supported by facts, statistics, or expert testimony are more likely to convince readers than those relying solely on personal opinions or anecdotes. For example, a 2023 study by the National Education Association found that students who were taught how to incorporate evidence into their writing scored significantly higher on standardized writing assessments. This shows that evidence-based arguments not only enhance the persuasiveness of the point but also strengthen the overall structure of the response. By incorporating strong evidence, a writer solidifies their argument, making it more compelling and harder to dismiss.
