Answer:

In reading the author's argument, consider the following:

what evidence is given?

what conclusions are made?

what assumptions (likely not stated) are made?

what ramifications (perhaps not stated) would necessarily follow from the author's argument?

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of analysis is not only to show how evidence proves your argument, but also to discover the complexity of the argument. While answering questions that lead to analysis, if you come across something that contradicts the argument, allow your critical thinking to refine the argument.
