An argumentation usually contains Assertion which is the claim of statement, reasoning is the logical explanation that supports the claim, warrant is the soul of the argument that covers the question “so what?”, and evidence is the last part that strengthens the reason.

The structure of your review article includes abstract, introduction, body, conclusion, and references.
