Question: 1 / 400

Which parts of an argumentative essay provide evidence to support the thesis?

Introduction and Conclusion

Thesis and Conclusion

Body paragraphs and Introduction

Body paragraphs and Conclusion

Argumentative essays are structured in three main parts introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. The introduction presents the topic and the thesis statement, which is the main argument or claim being made. The body paragraphs in an argumentative essay provide evidence and reasoning to support the thesis. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, as the body paragraphs are where evidence is presented to support the thesis. Option A is incorrect because the introduction alone does not provide evidence. Option B is also incorrect because the thesis alone is not enough evidence to support the argument. Option C is incorrect as the introduction serves as an overview of the topic and does not provide evidence. Lastly, the conclusion may restate the thesis and summarize the main points made in the body paragraphs, but it does not provide evidence to support the thesis.
