question 13 of 20
which comment on a peer’s research essay provides “big - picture” feedback?
a. the third sentence in this paragraph includes a comma error you’ll want to fix.
b. the conclusion of your essay is very well written.
c. the last few sentences on page 2 include several spelling mistakes.
d. the overall claim of your essay is clear and well supported with evidence.

Explanation:

Big-picture feedback focuses on the overarching, core elements of an essay rather than small, localized details. Options A and C address minor mechanical errors (comma use, spelling), which are narrow, line-level issues. Option B comments on one section (the conclusion), while Option D evaluates the essay's central, overarching claim and its support, which is a holistic, big-picture assessment of the research essay's core purpose.

Answer:

D. The overall claim of your essay is clear and well supported with evidence.
