If a student states only a personal feeling in an argument but gives no supporting reason, why is the answer considered weak?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because an argument needs reasons and evidence to support it.
A personal feeling can express an opinion, but it does not by itself show why the opinion should be accepted. A strong argument connects a claim with logical reasons, relevant examples, or reliable evidence. Feelings are not automatically wrong, and polite or simple language can be used; the weakness is the absence of support.
