The correct answer is B) you describe your evidence.

The second step in writing an argumentative essay is providing evidence.

When writing an argumentative essay, you first begin with an attractive hook to capture the attention of the reader. It could be a fact, a quote or a statistic that involves the reader. Then, you introduce your claim. You write a solid and complete Thesis. Here you include your claim and counterclaim. Next, you provide your evidence so the reader can better understand your argument. Finally, you end up writing a solid and specific conclusion.
