Top answer

This type of question is called an Essay Question, so the answer to the question could be regarded as an essay. To be an essay, it must conform to established rules of essay writing, such as organized thought (introduction-exposition-conclusion), use of paragraphs, and use of topic sentences. If the question is homework, then it will probably be an essay, but not an answer to an essay question.

  • If it's part of a sit-down exam and must be written during the examination, it could be an essay or it could also be regarded an answer to an essay question.
  • Although 'writing' doesn't apply to the above, it is still acceptable to ask the teacher to "correct my writing".
