What should a good essay title include?

  1. The essay’s main theme

  2. The author’s opinion

  3. Specific supporting details

  4. Directions for further research

The correct answer is: The essay’s main theme

A good essay title should include the essay's main theme, as it gives the reader an idea of what the essay will be about. B Including the author's opinion in the title may limit the reader's interpretation of the essay and may also be misleading if the essay presents multiple perspectives. C: Specific supporting details should be included in the body of the essay and not necessarily in the title. D: Directions for further research may make a title too long and may not accurately reflect the content of the essay.
