task achievement
Ensure that your essay presents a clear position throughout the response. In this case, the essay wavers between pros and cons without a clear standpoint which makes it hard to follow your conclusion. It is important to pick a stance and argue it consistently throughout the essay.

task achievement
Provide more specific examples and data to support your arguments. While you touched on electric vehicles and the impact on different social classes, these points would be stronger with concrete examples or figures.
