Asked by Em

I'm a student. Whenever I make a statement of my own accord in an essay should I write 'arguably'? Of course I have evidence but my own conclusions, is that what I use?
Answered by Ms. Sue
In my opinion, "arguably" should be used rarely. You, as the author of the essay, can make statements of opinion. Just be sure you've supported your opinion with facts.

I wouldn't overuse any one word or phrase too much.

Actually, if you write a statement and don't attribute it to anyone in particular, your instructor will take it as your thought, your belief.
