Essay Question Example

Essay

Essay-type questions like the one shown here ask you to describe your thinking. The answer to an essay question requires details and examples, so answers will be longer than one sentence. Essay questions offer some cool features. For example, you can choose a different font and adjust the font size when answering an essay question.
