Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following genres takes an opinion and defends it?

Short stories

Novels

Essays

The correct answer is essays, as they are specifically designed to present an argument or a point of view on a particular topic, supported by reasoning and evidence. Essays encourage critical thinking and require the writer to articulate their opinion clearly while addressing possible counterarguments.

In contrast, short stories and novels focus primarily on narrative structures, character development, and plot rather than the presentation of an opinion or argument. Poems, while they can express feelings or thoughts, do not consistently serve the purpose of defending a specific opinion in the same structured manner that essays do. Essays stand apart for their explicit goal of persuading or informing the reader through a clearly defined stance.
