Task Achievement
To enhance your score in Task Achievement, ensure that you address all parts of the prompt fully. While you presented a clear stance, more detailed exploration of why arts funding might be seen as unnecessary by some, compared with the specific examples given for transportation and healthcare, would provide a more balanced argument and complete response.
Coherence and Cohesion
Improve Coherence and Cohesion by organizing your ideas more clearly. Use a variety of linking phrases to better connect your paragraphs and main ideas. While your essay has a logical flow, making clearer distinctions between your points and using more transitional phrases would enhance readability and the logical progression of your arguments.
Coherence and Cohesion
To strengthen your essay, ensure each paragraph elaborates on a single main idea with adequate support.
