Read this statement from an argumentative speech. students with inconsistent bedtime routines are less successful in school than their peers. what is most needed to strengthen this statement? facts and statistics a personal anecdote grammatical revisions academic language

The answer is facts and statistics.

Since this statement affirms a real life fact – that students with inconsistent bedtime routines are less successful in school than their peers -, it may be contradicted or confirmed by explaining or presenting examples and numbers.

For instance, if a study has been made by researchers which shows how they reached the conclusion that students who sleep less or badly are less successful than their peers, presenting the number of students who volunteered for the research, the percentage of students with consistent and inconsistent bedtime routines and the comparison of the grades those students got over a period of time would be a strong way to prove their argument.

Correct answer is

A) facts and statistics.
