Which statement describes someone who uses specific examples and references to support their points of view?

• A. You like the texture and feel of clothes, furniture and other objects.
• B. You can play a musical instrument or you can sing on (or close to) key.
• C. You use specific examples and references to support your points of view.
• D. You like getting out of the house and being with others at parties and other social events.

Answer: (C)

Presenting evidence is what this describes. When you want to persuade or explain your view, you back it up with concrete examples, data, or sources. Using specific examples and references shows you’ve examined information beyond your own opinion and bring verifiable support to your argument. This approach helps others see where your ideas come from and makes your stance more credible because it isn’t just a personal feeling. For example, if you claim a policy is effective, you would cite studies or statistics that demonstrate its impact. The other statements describe things someone likes or can do, not how they support their views with evidence. So this statement best captures the practice of strengthening an argument by citing examples and references.
