I have a question regarding the positions I can take for the different issue essay prompts.
For the following prompt, it's clear that I can mostly agree/disagree or strongly agree/disagree
Quote:
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
But what about the following 2 types of prompts? the instructions are a bit confusing.
Am I free to take one or both positions.. or the instructions in either of them restrict me to choose one side over the other?
this:
Quote:
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
and this:

Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.
Thanks
