Selection primarily evaluates evidence selection – relevance, persuasiveness, and concision. Included in this strand is evidence presentation – how smoothly the argument is incorporated into the paragraph.

Choice:
When we evaluate choice, we are analyzing the type of evidence selected – is it pertinent, is it relevant, is it credible?

Presentation: 
Evidence must be presented clearly within an essay; this criterion addresses the blending, chunking, and overall weaving of evidence into an argument.
