What kind of essay is organized around a central point?

  1. Persuasive

  2. Analytical

  3. Narrative

  4. Expository

The correct answer is: Analytical

An analytical essay is one that focuses on analyzing and interpreting information to support a central argument or thesis statement. This is different from a persuasive essay, which aims to persuade the reader to agree with a specific viewpoint, a narrative essay, which tells a story, and an expository essay, which presents factual information without bias or opinion.
