Answer:Both Is the evidence sufficient to support the speaker's claims? and Is the evidence relevant to the speaker's claims?

Explanation:

Before one can make a claim there should be enough evidence to support that claim otherwise it could sound just like their own opinion or views on the matter that they are discussing.

Sufficient claim can or will give viewers or listeners the factual information about what one is claiming which may make persuasion more effective.

People are more likely to believe something and be convinced about it as long as there is sufficient evidence to support it and they can see how the evidence is linked or related to the claim.

Otherwise if the evidence doesn't relate to the claim then it can not be taken as an evidence for that particular claim and people can easily dismiss that claim.
