Question

A synthesis essay that cites and summarizes specific information from texts, but ignores an insightful conversation with texts, is considered a _________-(an)
a. under-scoring essay
b. high-scoring essay
c. medium-scoring essay
d. low-scoring essay

Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Medium scoring essays, according to guidelines, are those essays that provide no special insight.

The important points that make an essay high-scoring are:

• That the essay should speak about the topic and not deviate from it.
• The paragraphs should be well organized, that is, should shift from one point to another making all the points clear.
• The essay should be thoroughly developed.
• It should be sophisticated in style.

An essay that just cites and summarizes specific information from the text and does not provide insight with the text will be considered as a medium scoring essay as it provides the writer's idea in a simplistic way and predictable information only.

So, the correct answer is option C.
