The information and degree of persuasion in a C paper is appropriate. There is evidence and though the evidence is perhaps obvious and easily accessible, it has been gathered honestly and used responsibly. The C paper may exhibit some minor imperfections or inconsistencies in mapping out the arguments, but there are no major flaws in its reasoning. The organization is clear. The reader could easily outline the presentation.
Paragraphs have adequate development and are divided appropriately.
Transitions may be mechanical, but they foster coherence. The expression is competent. Sentence structure is generally correct, although it may show limited competence with such elements as subordination, emphasis, sentence variety, sentence length, and modifiers. It relies instead on simple and compound sentences. The paper is generally free of comma splices, unintentional fragments, and fused sentences.
