Based on the author’s description, which word best describes amak? a) easygoing b) hardworking c) quiet d) silly once, a very long time ago, a man named amak awoke in the morning and was very hungry—he wanted some dinner. before the sun rose over the mountains, he left his family and promised to bring food home to them. amak, whose stomach growled, knew his family was famished—and so was he. as he trudged along, amak realized he had been walking for a long time. he wanted to find food quickly and take it home to his family. 2amak walked through the forest to find food. he looked into the trees to find birds and scoured bushes hoping to find a rabbit. he became frustrated when he found nothing. amak knew he had to keep searching, though, because his family was counting on him. 3 hoping that he would have better luck there, amak decided to walk down beside the ocean. the smell of the salty air made the man feel a little better. he had almost forgotten about his grumbling stomach. suddenly, amak espied a large group of seals lying beside the ocean. the man was gleeful at the sight of mammoth, brown seals—surely he could take one of these large animals home for dinner! amak knew he would make his family proud. 4standing far away from the seals, amak pondered how to catch one of the seals and lug it home as a prize to his family. the man became giddy at the thought. then, he crept toward the large creatures; however, as he inched forward, the animals dove into the depths of the water and wiggled away from his grasp. 5amak became exasperated as he watched the seals swim away into the dark water. however, amak’s spirits rose when he saw a lone seal sitting alone near the edge of the water. sure that the seal did not see him, he advanced stealthily and stayed as quiet as possible. at the last moment, and with a burst of energy, amak sprang toward the remaining seal; however, he was too late, as the animal jumped into the water to join the rest. he collapsed onto the ground in sorrow. as amak got up, he felt a f

formal arguments

in written, formal arguments, the best way to build credibility with readers is to provide them with evidence. no matter what your argument might be and which side you agree with, citing strong evidence to back up your claim leaves the opposition with little to argue.

emotional appeal is often used in oral arguments. written arguments, however, rely on four main types of evidence. as you read further, you will see that some types are more credible than others and "hold more water" so to speak.

statistical evidence

the strongest type of evidence in formal writing is statistical evidence. this ranges from true, hard data presented as a percentage or number, to survey-type data. for example, statistical evidence could be:

4 out of 5 experts claim

85% of women in the united

7 members were present

statistical evidence can be proven as fact. you can actually go out and find hard information to prove your particular claim.

testimonial evidence

the use of celebrities as credibility evidence can be considered testimonial in nature. many people look up to celebrities as role models in their lives. good or bad, when a person chooses a life-path that takes them into public light, there will be many others out there who want to emulate the celebrity. these celebrity endorsements provide the second-strongest type of evidence found in formal arguments.

testimonial evidence can also be collected from experts and authorities in a given field. doctors, dentists, lawyers often provide expert testimonials. their authority is not often questions. they are expected to "know their stuff."

anecdotal evidence

when storytelling is involved as evidence, anecdotal evidence is being used. due to its less objective nature, anecdotal evidence is not extremely strong. when coupled with statistical or testimonial evidence, anecdotal evidence can be highly effective in determining credibility or proof.

storytelling, although based on fact, can include quite a bit of opinion, thus making it less objective. usually, eyewitnesses are used as providers of anecdotal evidence. they saw or experienced the phenomenon at hand are telling their version or side of the story.

analogical evidence

when information is scarce about something and little is known, analogical evidence is often used in a formal argument to increase credibility of the proof. if the phenomenon in question is new and little is known about it, analogical evidence that pulls in known factors about a similar phenomenon to show parallels can be an effective way to provide proof.

due to limited knowledge about the phenomenon, in this situation, analogical evidence can be regarded as the weakest type of evidence used in formal arguments. one can only imagine and hope that the comparison-phenomenon is close enough that the results can be applied to the new phenomenon.

in the

all that really matters in a formal argument is whether or not the writer has credible evidence to back up what they want to say or what they are thinking. so often, we hear people say, "prove it! " to one another.

one last little formal arguments not only provide credible evidence to support claims, don't forget that acknowledgment of the opposing point of view in an argument also strengthens the entire product.
