A writer shapes a reader’s view by selecting which facts or voices to emphasise. Compare what is included with what the task or situation would lead a reader to need. Do not assume omission proves deliberate deception; space, purpose and audience also matter. Identify a consequence for understanding.
The model “A report gives costs but no explanation of benefits.” illustrates the method in a specific context. Compare it with “A brochure highlights pleasant spaces and omits repair work.”. The useful question is how the change in wording affects meaning, emphasis or the relationship with the reader. A strong response connects a precise language choice to its purpose; naming a feature alone is insufficient. Explain the connection in ordinary language before adding a technical term. When reviewing your own response, remove unsupported claims and check that every detail serves the task you have been given.

A library’s large collection does not by itself prove that it is well used.

Evidence must match the claim it supports. Check date, context, sample and the difference between correlation and cause when relevant. A true fact can be irrelevant to the argument. Explain the gap precisely, and propose the kind of information that would help without inventing data.
