Option 1

 * Article title Kozhikode:
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article considers different aspects of the city, including its history to the current affairs. Although it was written in a neutral factual tone, an imbalance is created in a conflict between the usage of the city’s two names - Kozhikode and Calicut. The back-and-forth switching between these two names makes it harder for a reader who is unfamiliar with the city to follow the text. Furthermore, there needs to be more information considered in terms of the recent developments/ achievements and clarity of paragraph structure could be improved.

Option 2

 * Article title Fast fashion:
 * Article Evaluation
 * An essay like article, that although sticks to the mentioned topic, tends to have embedded subjective opinions as well. Some citations seem to place of focus or separately from where a statistic or fact is mentioned. Some statements are not backed up by statistics altogether, and hence requires further citation for clarity of the text. It covers an excessively large range of subtopics instead of sticking to concise, clear relevant aspects of the subject. Could overall use editing.

Option 3

 * Article title Consumerism:
 * Article Evaluation
 * An article that covers multiple aspects of consumerism, with a clear structure to the text. However, some of the subtopics have been diverged too much into further subheadings - for instance under history, the article explains matters such as culture of consumption, mass production and television and media, when these could be separate topics themselves. Furthermore, there is lack of citation/ support in some of the statements made, causing reliability issues. The way the sentences are structured also makes it possible that they are no longer factually accurate due to ambiguity in the time that they refer to.
