Answer 1

The three most important qualities for information in an explanatory essay are:

1. Relevant
2. Accurate
3. Sufficient

While statistical and anecdotal information can be useful, the core qualities that ensure the information effectively explains a topic are relevance, accuracy, and sufficiency. Specificity can also be important but is often encompassed by the idea of sufficiency.
