Answer 1

An argument uses logic to show why your stand on an issue is the best choice.

When crafting an argument you want to make sure you're using logic--facts, evidence, and statistics, to prove that your point is the best one. This shows that you have done your research and will help convince the reader or audience that you know what you're talking about and that your point is well supported by fact.
