Try a sample
A plan says a route is 'best' without naming a goal. What clarification is most useful?
- Is the title the longest available?
- Can the word be printed larger?
- Best according to which criteria, such as time, cost or access?
- Can the plan omit every comparison?
See the answer & why
Best according to which criteria, such as time, cost or access?
A comparison needs a criterion before evidence can support it.
A little hint: Find exactly what the claim says before deciding which evidence could test it.
