A strong argument has three parts. The claim is what you want the reader to believe. The evidence is the facts, numbers and quotes that support it. The reasoning explains how the evidence proves the claim. For example: Our town should add bike lanes on Main Street (claim). Last year, 14 cyclists were hurt there (evidence). Separate lanes keep bikes away from cars, so fewer people would be hurt (reasoning).
