Question 62 • PA-Common Core ELA 9 B

One way to brainstorm a topic for an informative essay is to

Answer
A
decide the purpose for writing the essay.
B
present an opinion on a topic.
C
use prior knowledge about a topic.
D
provide supporting details for the essay.

Explanation

Brainstorming means generating possible ideas before organizing or drafting the essay. Using what you already know about a topic can help you think of useful facts and directions to explore. Therefore, “use prior knowledge about a topic” is the best answer; deciding the purpose or adding supporting details comes later in the writing process.
