An analysis section organised by alternative rather than by criterion:

Answer

Reads as advocacy and fails the rubric line

Options - A. Is clearer, because each option is in one place - B. Is the direct approach applied to analysis - C. Reads as advocacy and fails the rubric line - D. Is required — the rubric says "each alternative assessed" Why - A. It is clearer for the writer and worse for the reader, who must hold five criteria in her head to compare four sections. - B. The direct approach concerns where the main point goes, not how the analysis is structured. - C. Correct — one section per option reads as four pitches, lets the favourite grow, and hides whether every option met every criterion. The rubric line says organised by criteria. - D. Each alternative is assessed — under each criterion. The rubric’s organising principle is the criterion.
