What is build an argument with supported judgement?Show answer
Each paragraph should make an analytical point, support it with precise dated evidence, and link back to the question. The strongest essays do not merely list factors; they weigh them against each other and show how they interact. A judgement is not a final sentence stuck on at the end; it is a thread running through the essay, set up in the introduction, advanced in each paragraph and resolved in the conclusion.
