Opinionated answers are not always the best ones

Right now I have to do a philosophy paper, and I am trying to choose which question I want to make my essay about.

One question is a right or wrong answer type. While the other is more opinionated. There is advantages and disadvantages to both.

Using the right or wrong answer question for an essay is easier because you dont have to support evidence as much. Yet the disadvantage is that it makes it harder to sometimes meet the requirement because there may not be enough answer for the question-essay.

The advantage to using opinionated answer questions is that you get to form your own answer. The problem though that makes it hard isn't whether your answer is right or wrong but how well you support it. You have to support it much more than a right/wrong answer question because well its an opinion and you have to be convincing, there are no barriers.

Both can be hard based on the particular situation and case of the moment.
