To the extent of your ability, make sure that thewriter defines terms clearly and objectively.In addition, the people who write and grade the analysis of an argument section for theGMAT expect the following:i) They want an essay that analyzes the several aspects of the argument with critical insight.ii) They want a cogently developed essay that is logical.iii) They want a coherent essay with wellchosen transitional devices.iv) They also expect an essay that uses varied sentence structure and vocabulary.v) They expect an essay that is free of mechanical errors in spelling, punctuation, capitalization,grammar and errors in the use of standard written English.As in the case of the analysis of the issue, the topic sentence must contain the germ of theidea that permeates the entire paragraph.
