Supporting evidence in the form of details, statistics, facts, and quotations. Deduction of 10 percentage points if the evidence is weak, and 20 points if it is missing.
Correct grammar and mechanics. Deduction of 5–20 points for errors in grammar and mechanics, depending on the severity of the errors.

During the debate, Jimmy Carter was the candidate who presented arguments supported by evidence that was not very efficient and therefore was unsuccessful when Ronald Reagan showed evidence that his arguments were wrong.

This happened when Carter released information that said his government's guidelines were able to reduce the rate of inflation by 10%, which allowed for greater success in the market and a lower rate of unemployment.

However, Ronald Reagan countered these arguments with better information backed up by evidence, showing that Carter did indeed establish a better economy through his leadership, but inflation soared during his government. To prove this, Reagan showed facts and figures that promoted the success of his argument.

The question above is intended to assess your writing ability, your ability to understand and evaluate a political debate, and your opinions and arguments about the debate. For this reason, I can't write the essay for you, but I will show you how you can write it.
