Answer 16

@pizza4dayz - Prefer to not give direct answers. OpenStudy is where you're expected to help someone by explanation or at least engaging the asker in a discussion.

Here is the context from OS Code-Of-Conduct :

"Don't devalue the question/answer process!
Don't provide someone with just the answer - explain the process, and help guide them through understanding the problem.
Don't just provide the answer to a problem when someone else is in the middle of helping! But if you want to help, by all means, join in!"

You can have a look at the OpenStudy Code of Conduct here too : http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

Answer 21

Really? Is says "NOT a good reason".

Making an essay longer is a horrible reason. This seems the most appropriate response.
Convincing your audience is an excellent reason to expand. Don't answer this one.
Experts already agree? Not a good reason to continue.

Looks like C is OK but A is excellent, as far as what is actually being asked.
Since there is a good answer, this rules out D.

In the future, why don't you, the OP (@brandbear), provide DISCUSSION and OPINION, rather than allowing various incorrect understandings to spam the question with alphabet soup? @TwilightRain1 tried to get you to do this. Do it on your own UP FRONT, next time.
