Opinion Based are the following type: Also they don't have facts in them:
1. Women are better managers than men. Usually, women would agree with this topic while men won’t.
2. Mathematics and Science should be thought in English. People living in the urban area might agree with this topic while those who live in the rural are might not.

Argumentative:
1.Aggressive Driving Should be Avoided --> Fact it is dangerous, proved by nature, history, statistical analysis.


Also the question asks for your opinion and not give reason to support your view. Opinion means opinion essay.

So if its like 'What are your views'? Is it then a argumentative essay?
