Question

1. which element is a critical part of a reflective essay?

focus on some some negative aspect of an experience
a very formal tone and style
a very objective approach to the topic of the essay
a conclusion that offers meaningful insight

Explanation:

A reflective essay requires a conclusion that offers meaningful insight. It's not just about recounting an experience (positive or negative). A very formal tone isn't a must - it can be personal. And it's more about personal reflection (subjective in a way) rather than a very objective approach. The conclusion in a reflective essay should show what was learned or understood from the experience.

Answer:

a conclusion that offers meaningful insight
