The historian claimed that West influenced Stuart. Other people think West didn’t influence Stuart, because Stuart’s diaries mention West’s work only once. The historian responds to this objection by pointing out that Stuart has a close friend who studied under West, and that Stuart’s diaries mention meetings with West. The historian also points out that Stuart’s work often uses the same terms as West, even though other people working around the same time as Stuart didn’t use those words.

The fact West’s work was mentioned only once in Stuart’s diaries does not imply that Stuart was not influenced by West.

There’s strong evidence Stuart was influenced by West.

Unsupported. There’s no support for the idea that “discussions” were the means by which Stuart was influenced. We don’t even know if Stuart and Abella had discussions. Maybe Stuart was influenced through reading Abella’s work, which could have been influenced by West.

Unsupported. The stimulus suggests that West influenced Stuart. But it doesn’t say anything concerning whether Stuart influenced West.

Unsupported. Although the author believes the language Stuart used is evidence of influence by West, that doesn’t suggest people who didn’t use that language weren’t influenced. The contemporaries could have been influenced, but in a way that didn’t involve using West’s words.

Strongly supported. The historian points out evidence showing potential influence, including meetings with West, friendship with one of West’s students, and use of distinctive language also used by West. This isn’t a “must be true” conclusion, but it is most strongly supported.

Unsupported. Although we know the terminology is now commonplace, that stimulus doesn’t tell us why it became commonplace.
