Correct answer: D. Unity, coherence, and adequate development
- A. A concluding sentence without supporting details
- B. Length, technical vocabulary, and complex punctuation

- D. Unity, coherence, and adequate development
Explanation
Unity keeps the paragraph focused, coherence makes its ideas connect logically, and development provides sufficient support. Length and difficult vocabulary do not by themselves create a strong paragraph.
