Question

Which statement about essay format is true?

The body paragraphs do not relate to the thesis.
An essay does not require a conclusion.
An essay always has four paragraphs or more
The introduction includes the thesis.

Answer 1

D. The introduction needs a hook, bridge, and thesis to be complete.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong because the introductions gives the main three points that will be covered in the body of the essay.

B is wrong because a conclusion is needed to summarize the essay.

C is wrong because there can be short essays of just three paragraphs. But typically, you should go for 4 or more.

Answer 2

C

Explanation: The basic essay format consists of at least three paragraphs, fewer paragraphs will not even count as an essay, since this is the simplest form of an essay. A paragraph can be one sentence (which is rarely the case for an essay) or several sentences. This paragraph contains an introductory sentence, followed by three sentences explaining the point of view, and a sentence at the end.
