To evaluate an argument you should basically ask yourself if the point of view of the author is valid or not. Follow these steps to answer your question.

- Is the argument good or bad? Do you agree? Why?
- How would the past of the author impact the validity of what they are saying?
- What is the author trying to say about the issue in the argument?
- Find grammatical errors.

Good luck
