What should a good argumentative text accomplish?

  1. Encourage one-sided belief

  2. Explore all sides of an issue

  3. Overwhelm with excessive data

  4. Discourage reader engagement

The correct answer is: Explore all sides of an issue

A good argumentative text should explore all sides of an issue to offer a balanced perspective. This approach allows the writer to acknowledge different viewpoints and address potential counterarguments, which enhances the text's credibility and persuasiveness. By examining various angles, the writer demonstrates thorough understanding and consideration of the subject matter, which can help the audience to engage more critically with the argument presented. This exploration fosters an informed discussion rather than merely dictating a singular belief, encouraging readers to form their own opinions based on comprehensive information.
