Question

What is the most fundamental skill you need to prepare for a debate?

A. The ability to formulate an argument.
B. The ability to use facts
C. The ability to tell a story
D. Incorporate historic quotes

Answer 1

B, because if you don't have anything to back up the argument then you will not have a steady argument making the "debate" on your side turn into an opinion.

Answer 2

B. The ability to use facts

Step-by-step explanation:

In a debate you need to formulate arguments, but these arguments will have no value if you do not use facts to prove them. The author of arguments for a speech, based on concrete evidence, must present consistent facts for the construction of argumentative thinking that will be defended or refuted in a debate.
