Which of the following is a common feature of academic essays?

  1. Dialogue

  2. Anecdotes

  3. Casual language

  4. Analysis

The correct answer is: Analysis

Anecdotes, dialogue, and casual language are all generally not found in academic essays. Anecdotes and dialogue are more commonly found in informal writing and can detract from the credibility of an academic essay. Casual language may also reduce the formality and precision of an essay. Analysis, on the other hand, is a key feature of academic writing as it demonstrates critical thinking and the ability to evaluate evidence and arguments. Therefore, D is the correct answer as it aligns with the expectations of academic writing.
