13. After you identify an argument's reasons and evidence, what is the next step in evaluating the argument's effectiveness? Verify the accuracy of the author's evidence for the claim. Decide whether or not the author has provided enough evidence. Explain how well the reasons support the argument's claim. Consider whether the author uses rhetoric effectively.

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the next step in evaluating an argument's effectiveness after identifying its reasons and evidence. The options provided are:<br />- Verify the accuracy of the author's evidence for the claim.<br />- Decide whether or not the author has provided enough evidence.<br />- Explain how well the reasons support the argument's claim.<br />- Consider whether the author uses rhetoric effectively.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The next step in evaluating an argument's effectiveness after identifying its reasons and evidence is to explain how well the reasons support the argument's claim. This is because, once we have identified the reasons and evidence, we need to assess how well they support the argument's claim.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The other options, such as verifying the accuracy of the author's evidence, deciding whether the author has provided enough evidence, and considering whether the author uses rhetoric effectively, are also important steps in evaluating an argument. However, they are not the immediate next step after identifying the reasons and evidence.
