Question

One possible method to begin an essay is

A. to paraphrase
B. to meditate
C. to ask a question

B, right?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I disagree.

Answer 2

Why not? Doesn't meditate mean think or plan? If yes, I think B is correct as we have to think about what the thesis statement is and what we are going to write in the essay.

Answer 3

I interpret this question to mean the first words in an essay. I don't think it means your preparation before writing it.

An example:

Why should you learn to write a good essay? In addition to getting a good grade, you also need to write essays for your classes in high school and college.

Answer 4

So is the answer C? Thanks

Answer 5

C is the best answer.

You're welcome.

Answer 6

No, the correct answer is A. to paraphrase. Paraphrasing means expressing the original content of someone else's ideas or writing in different words while maintaining the same meaning. In the context of an essay, you can begin by paraphrasing a relevant quote, a thought-provoking statement, or a noteworthy fact to capture the reader's attention and introduce the topic you will be discussing. This technique helps to engage the reader and establish the purpose of your essay. Meditation (option B) and asking a question (option C) may be useful for brainstorming or gathering ideas, but they are not typically used as the initial method to begin an essay.
