How can an author structure their essay in order to make it clear and concise?

Use specific and concise language
Include relevant sources
Use topic sentences
Use parallelism

The correct answer is: Use topic sentences

An essay can be structured in different ways depending on the purpose and content, but using topic sentences is always a good way to make it clear and concise. Topic sentences act as mini-theses for each paragraph, and they help guide the reader and the author in developing their ideas in a focused and organized manner. Options A, B, and D may also contribute to the clarity and conciseness of an essay, but without a clear and structured organization, the essay may still appear disjointed and difficult to follow.
