How long should an argumentative essay be?

madreJ [45]3 years ago

The average argumentative essay is between three to five pages, and will require at least three or four separate sources with which to back your claims.An argumentative essay attempts to convince a reader to agree with a particular argument (the writer's thesis statement). The writer takes a firm stand one way or another on a topic and then uses hard evidence to support that stance.

An argumentative essay seeks to prove to the reader that one argument—the writer's argument—is the factually and logically correct one. This means that an argumentative essay must use only evidence-based support to back up a claim, rather than emotional or philosophical reasoning (which is often allowed in other types of essays). Thus, an argumentative essay has a burden of substantiated proof and sources, whereas some other types of essays (namely persuasive essays) do not.

You can write an argumentative essay on any topic, so long as there's room for argument. Generally, you can use the same topics for both a persuasive essay or an argumentative one, so long as you support the argumentative essay with hard evidence.

Example topics of an argumentative essay:

“Should farmers be allowed to shoot wolves if those wolves injure or kill farm animals?”

“Should the drinking age be lowered in the United States?”

“Are alternatives to democracy effective and/or feasible to implement?”

The next three types of essays are not argumentative essays, but you may have written them in school. We're going to cover them so you know what not to do for your argumentative essay.

Review the meanings of current on the left. Which
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Jay turned off the current before taking apart the

outlet.

The current from the overhead wire caused sparks

to fly.

Explanation:

When words are spelled or pronounced in the same way but have different meanings, they are called homonyms.

One of homonyms is the word "current" which can mean:

- something happening at the present time

- a movement of  body of water in a certain direction

- the flow of electrical energy

In the first answer, the outlet is a device whose purpose is to connect electrical devices to an electrical supply (plugging it in the socket). So, it's electrical current.

In the second answer, it denotes the moving of the water

In the third answer, it means that Todd's present roommate in neat.

In the fourth answer, since it comes from a wire and causes a spark, it denotes electrical current.

Finally, since Vanya is in the river, it denotes a flow of the water.
