Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While it is recommended to include all six elements of the Toulmin Model (claim, grounds, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal) for a strong argument, it is not necessary to include all six elements for an argument to be effective. Some arguments may not require a qualifier or rebuttal, for example, and may still be effective with a clear claim, grounds, warrant, and backing.
