Question

suppose the writer had been assigned to write a short personal - opinion essay on a specific problem faced by military bases. would this essay fulfill the assignment, and why?
a yes, because the essay clearly identifies a military base in honolulu, hawaii.
b yes, because the essay describes something that was personal to the writer’s family.
c no, because the essay primarily concerns the experiences of the youngest child in a large family.
d no, because the essay only mentions general problems encountered by military bases.

Explanation:

The assignment requires a short personal-opinion essay about a specific problem faced by military bases. Option A is incorrect because identifying a base does not address a specific problem. Option B is incorrect as personal family experiences do not focus on a military base's specific problem. Option C is incorrect because the core issue is not about family child experiences, but whether the essay targets a military base problem. Option D is correct because the essay only references general military base problems, not a specific one, so it fails the assignment.

Answer:

D. No, because the essay only mentions general problems encountered by military bases.
