I am trying to prepare in my head for an essay exam that I will be having tomorrow and I would like to know how you would interpret the professors instructions -

Question

"Please prepare to answer one of the following in an essay of at least four paragraphs including an introduction and a conclusion."

- Would you interpret this as 4 total paragraphs or 6 total paragraphs?

Thank you in advance!!

Answer 1

Four paragraphs including . . .

That means a minimum of four paragraphs. Note that it's a minimum so you could write a longer essay.

Answer 2

Shew thanks! You just made my night! Sometimes I obsess too much :)
Thank You

Answer 3

You're welcome! Good luck with your exam tomorrow! :-)
