Answer 1

Hey there!

This is the context: analyzing arguments. “Analyzing” means to take apart, literally: to dissolve; study and examine.

Corret answer is: D. Identify the claim: what is the single unifying idea the argument wants you to believe? You can not analyze something if you do not have that unity to study.
