Overall assessment

The response presents a clear position that economic development's advantages outweigh the disadvantages and stays on topic throughout, which is its strongest aspect. However, ideas are underdeveloped and somewhat repetitive, with the claimed contrast between developed and developing nations asserted rather than explained, and language control is only adequate.

TR

Task Response

The question is addressed with a relevant clear position that advantages outweigh disadvantages, but supporting ideas are unevenly developed and the argument about social values in developed versus developing nations is asserted without convincing elaboration.
