What is the best way to craft a research paper?

  1. Cite as many sources as possible

  2. Choose a broad topic

  3. Include facts from personal observations

  4. Dedicate a lot of time to brainstorming

The correct answer is: Dedicate a lot of time to brainstorming

The best way to approach crafting a research paper is to dedicate a lot of time to brainstorming. This allows you to thoroughly explore potential topics and gather enough information to create a strong, well-supported argument. Choosing a broad topic (B) can make it difficult to focus and can result in a lack of depth in your paper. Citing as many sources as possible (A) can also be detrimental as it can lead to a paper that relies too heavily on external information rather than your own analysis. Including facts from personal observations (C) may not always be relevant or appropriate in a research paper, and should only be used if it adds value to your argument. Overall, dedicating time to brainstorming is the most efficient and effective way to craft a research paper.
