Question 10 • Economics

While revising an argumentative essay, a writer should

Answer
A
make the writing friendly and informal, engaging readers.
B
make sure each paragraph has a clearly stated point.
C
focus on including opinions more than evidence.
D
include anecdotes and personal “I” statements.

Explanation

A strong argumentative essay organizes its reasoning clearly, so each paragraph should have a clearly stated point that supports the overall claim. Evidence and explanation can then develop that point. Making the essay informal or relying more on opinions, anecdotes, and personal statements does not necessarily strengthen an argument.
