SEQ writing techniques IV - The stand MUST match the weighing word

The stand of the essay depends on the weighing paragraph.

Example 1:
The most effective way to manage traffic flow is through ERP. How far do you agree? Explain.

NB: We know that ERP is NOT the most effective way. Hence we agree with this statement to only " a small extent.".

Example 2:
The most effective way to manage traffic flow is through VQS. How far do you agree? Explain.
NB: Since we know that VQS is the most effective way, we will agree with this statement to " a large extent."

Learning point: The stand is linked to the weighing paragraph AND you must already decide beforehand what is your peferred factor.
