What sentence in an essay requires analysis in order to be effective?

Descriptive sentences
Declarative sentences
Imperative sentences
Exclamatory sentences

The correct answer is: Declarative sentences

In most cases, declarative sentences are persuasive statements that either introduce or conclude an idea in an essay. They require analysis to ensure that the idea is clearly and effectively conveyed to the reader. Descriptive sentences, on the other hand, aim to provide details and imagery to enhance understanding but do not necessarily require analysis. Imperative sentences are used to give commands or make requests, and exclamatory sentences express strong emotions rather than introducing or concluding an idea. Therefore, they do not necessarily require analysis for effectiveness in an essay.
