The best approach for determining the scope of an essay question is:
**It should focus on a specific topic or concept, allowing for in-depth analysis.**
By narrowing the scope, students can engage more deeply with the material, analyze relevant details, and produce a well-structured argument or exploration. This approach encourages critical thinking and allows for a comprehensive understanding of the selected topic. While open-ended questions can foster creativity, a focused question typically leads to more coherent and insightful essays.
