Writing a Research-Based Argumentative Essay about Technology

Question 7 • S1S: English 9B (E2112 - AG)

Which sentence from this peer review is the least effective?

Answer
A
“Your spelling needs work.”
B
“I also suggest defining the word ‘dissonance’ and writing out what the acronym JAMA means.”
C
“Paragraph 4 needs a topic sentence.”
D
“In paragraph 1, I suggest starting the essay with an attention-grabbing statistic, anecdote, or question.”

Explanation

A is the least effective because “Your spelling needs work” is vague and gives no specific guidance about what to correct. The other comments identify a particular revision, such as defining a term, adding a topic sentence, or changing the opening. Effective peer feedback should be specific and actionable.
