When critically evaluating an argument in the GMAT AWA, what is the *least effective* approach to presenting a specific flaw in a body paragraph?

A Clearly state the flaw and explain how it undermines the argument's conclusion.
B Provide specific examples or counter-scenarios that highlight the flaw.
C Suggest what additional evidence or clarification would be needed to address the flaw.
D Simply declare the argument's premise or conclusion as 'wrong' without further analysis.

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

A strong AWA essay requires analytical reasoning, not just assertions. Merely stating something is 'wrong' without explaining why, and how it impacts the argument, is ineffective.
