When writing an essay, what is the best type of commentary to include?

  1. A brief description of the text

  2. A personal evaluation of the text

  3. An objective analysis of the text

  4. A comparison of multiple texts

The correct answer is: An objective analysis of the text

An objective analysis of the text is the best type of commentary to include when writing an essay. This type of commentary focuses on presenting facts and evidence about the text without adding any personal opinions or biases. Option A, a brief description of the text, is often too general and does not provide enough depth or insight. Option B, a personal evaluation of the text, can be subjective and may not be supported by evidence from the text. Option D, a comparison of multiple texts, can also be a valid type of commentary but it is not always necessary for every essay and may not be relevant to the main topic or thesis.
