Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping that someone can give me a little input on this:

Can you use questions within an academic essay?

I've used them in the Introduction and will possible use more in the body of the essay it it's acceptable. Here's an example:

"A modern interpretation of that quote brings about a similar statement: that there is no such thing as the state. What is the state? The state is a mechanism by which citizens can provide collectively for items such as defence and security, which cannot readily be provided either through the market or through voluntary co-operation."

Cheers!

P.S. This is an Australian Academic essay - I think American ones are a tad different.
