Which of the following feedback from a peer would not help in the review process?

I am having trouble following the flow of your essay. You may want to look again to make sure it makes sense.
I don’t agree with your topic and I think you should change it if you want a better grade.
I found a few times where you used informal language and slang. You should update that to formal academic language.
I noticed you are missing commas when introducing a direct quotation from your sources. It would benefit you to make sure those are added.

Final answer:

The feedback suggesting a topic change based on personal disagreement is not helpful, as peer review should focus on constructive aspects of writing rather than personal opinion on the essay's subject matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the peer feedback options provided, the statement: I don’t agree with your topic and I think you should change it if you want a better grade, would generally not be helpful in the review process. Effective peer review feedback should focus on the clarity, organization, argument strength, use of evidence, and adherence to academic conventions in the essay, rather than personal agreement with the topic chosen. The remaining feedback statements regarding essay flow, use of formal language, and proper punctuation for quotations are more constructive because they aim to improve the technical aspects of writing without imposing the reviewer’s personal preferences on the topic.

During the peer review process, suggestions should enhance the essay's comprehension, ensure academic tone, and correct grammatical errors, leading to a well-structured and argued piece. This is part of treating writing as a process and a dialogue between the writer and the readers to refine the draft.

I don’t agree with your topic is the right answer.
You shouldn’t say change it for a better grade if nothing else is wrong with it
