Argument structure refers to how an argument is organized and presented in writing or speech. It includes elements such as introduction, thesis statement, supporting evidence, counterarguments, and conclusion.
Claim: A claim is a clear and concise statement that presents an argument or position on a specific topic. It serves as the main idea of an argument.
Logical Fallacies: Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that weaken an argument's credibility. They should be avoided to maintain a strong argument structure.
Rebuttal: A rebuttal is a response to counterarguments or opposing viewpoints. It addresses potential objections and strengthens an argument by refuting opposing claims.
