Ruth responds to Jorge's criticism by
Providing additional evidence
Rejecting the argument
Offering a stronger conclusion
Agreeing with Jorge
The correct answer is: Providing additional evidence
Ruth responds to Jorge's criticism by providing additional evidence. This is the correct answer because providing additional evidence is a constructive way to address criticism and strengthen her argument. By offering more evidence to support her position, Ruth shows that she has carefully considered Jorge's critique and is willing to engage with it in a thoughtful and thorough manner. Option B, rejecting the argument, is incorrect because it would not effectively address Jorge's criticism and would not contribute to a productive dialogue between the two parties. Option C, offering a stronger conclusion, is also incorrect because it does not directly engage with Jorge's criticism or the specifics of his argument. Option D, agreeing with Jorge, is also not the best response as it would not effectively address the criticism or help to strengthen Ruth's position.
