Question

What kind of essay would best suit the given topic:
Is it better to travel or save money for the future?

• A. Narrative
• B. Cause and effect
• C. Compare and contrast
• D. Descriptive

Answer 1

The correct option is C Compare and contrast

Option C: The essay is a choice between two ideas: 'spending on travel' or 'saving on future'. Hence the best way to lay out those ideas would be through 'Compare and Contrast'.

This type of essay would compare these two ideas and the contrasts between them, concluding on which of them would be better. Hence option C is correct.

Option A: A narrative essay tells a story. The given title doesn't.

Option B: 'Cause and effect' would be suitable for a title that has an impact on something. It isn't appropriate for the given title.

Option D: A descriptive essay is a genre of essay that describes a person, situation or a particular experience. It does not suit the given title.

Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
