Question

Which of the following is an example of helpful feedback that addresses a specific problem?


I liked your paper and thought it was interesting.


If you delete this section and shorten the introduction, your paper will not be as wordy.

Answer 1

The second sentence would be the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

If you delete this section and shorten the introduction, your paper will not be as wordy.

Explanation:

Out of the two options, the second one is the one that is more helpful. This is because the feedback addresses a specific problem. The feedback tells the author that his introduction is too long, and that his paper is too wordy. These are concrete elements, and the author can take measures to correct them. The first sentence, on the other hand, only gives general comments that are not useful as feedback.
