This requires making an informed judgment. Your judgment must be shown to be based on knowledge and information about the subject. (Just stating your own ideas is not sufficient.) Cite authorities. Cite advantages and limitations. In explanatory answers you must clarify the cause(s), or reasons(s). State the "how" and "why" of the subject. Give reasons for differences of opinions or of results.

Show how things are connected with each other or how one causes another, correlates with another, or is like another. Examine a subject critically, analyzing and commenting on the important statements to be made about it. Present the main points in brief, clear sequence, usually omitting details, illustrations, or examples.
