What should you consider when selecting a topic for an essay?

  1. Its timeliness and relevance

  2. Its complexity

  3. Its impact on the reader

  4. Its personal appeal

The correct answer is: Its timeliness and relevance

When selecting a topic for an essay, it is important to consider its timeliness and relevance in order to capture the attention of readers and make your essay more impactful. Option B, complexity, may be a factor to consider in terms of challenging yourself as a writer, but it should not be the primary factor. Similarly, option C, impact on the reader, is important but should not be the only consideration. Lastly, option D, personal appeal, is subjective and may not lead to a well-rounded or successful essay.
