Your Answer:
In the context of the chapter, the term "argument" means a presentation of two or
is
more claims and having evidence to support those claims and possibly persuade the
Th
other side to support your way of thinking. An argument, in the context of the chapter,
is respectful, reasonable, and constructive. This is unlike what most people think an
argument is. An argument, in the context of this chapter, is not a quarrel. It is not
disrespectful or overly emotional. That is what an argument means in this chapter.
