The best way to begin an answer for extended or constructed response is to

• completely come up with your own sentence, not thinking about what the prompt is asking.

• use exact words from the text.

Using words from the question or prompt helps to directly address what is being asked, making your answer clearer and more relevant. This approach sets a strong foundation for your response.
