Laney Contreras · Answer 1

C To deeply explore the issue in order to pursue truth, this is because if you are going to make a proper argument you must acknowledge the other side of the argument, not support it, but acknowledge that it is there.

Reuben Rios · Answer 2

C. To deeply explore the issue in order to pursue the truth. Both sides always have to be argued in order to conclude an inclusive argument.
