present several distinct facets of the issue and connect them into an argument, giving the competing views real weight rather than one line each.
The characteristic failure: a list of points with no argument running through them.
What a top answer must contain

- Article 356 & S.R. Bommai (1994)
- Appointment of CM in a hung assembly
- 2nd ARC recommendations on Centre-State relations
