Claim leads + 3 sources + qualification integrated + closing = 4; 3 of 4 = 3; 2 of 4 = 2; <2 = 1
Hints
  1. Qualification move: 'However, ___ qualifies that...' / 'Although ___, ___ notes...'
  2. Don't drop the qualifying source — INTEGRATE it into the analysis.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Drops the qualification (presenting only the agreement).
  • Lists 3 sources without analytical claim.
