PrepTest 83, Section 2, Question 14
Debate coach: Britta's command of the historical facts was better than Robert's, and that led to the distinct impression that Britta won the debate. But it's also important to evaluate how reasonable the debaters' arguments were, regardless of their ability to bring the facts to bear in those arguments. When you take that into consideration, Robert's debate performance was as good as Britta's.
