Thesis Statement: A thesis statement is a concise statement that presents the main argument or claim of an essay. It serves as the foundation for the entire argumentative FRQ.
Evidence: Evidence refers to factual information, examples, statistics, or expert opinions that support and strengthen an argument. It helps to convince the reader of the validity of the claims made in an argumentative FRQ.
Counterargument: A counterargument is an opposing viewpoint or objection to the main argument presented in an essay. Including counterarguments in an argumentative FRQ shows awareness and strengthens one's own position by addressing potential criticisms.
