Question

which statement does not describe a characteristic of a good outline? CA It supports the thesis. OB. It establishes the order and relationship of the main points. OC It details differences between the major and minor points. OD. it indicates the number of paragraphs needed for each section.​

Answer 1

Answer:

OD. it indicates the number of paragraphs needed for each section.

Explanation:

The word "outline" refers to the summary of the whole text/ paper. In other words, the outline means the summarized version of the text, including the main important points.

A good outline is supportive of the thesis and also establishes the order and the relationship of the main points. It may contain the differences between the major and minor points but everything is connected and important for the paper. But one characteristic of a good outline that is wrong from the given options is that an outline does not include the number of paragraphs required for each section. This wholly depends on the author.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
