Help please... When writing an argumentative essay, why should you gather evidence during the prewriting stage?

A)to better define the prompt’s topic
B) to understand the writer’s audience
C) to be able to properly organize claims
D) to help decide which claims are supportable

C or D,As  as a pre-author myself those are both correct

when making an inference, the reader should be sure to support the inference with

evidence

a is an educated guess about what will happen.

c. prediction

when new information proves that a reader's prediction is wrong, the reader should

make a new prediction based on the new information.
