In a criteria-match definition argument, a writer determines specific standards must be met for a contested case to fit the definition. For example, if the topic was whether cheerleading fits the definition of a sport, criteria must be developed that measure whether any activity is a sport.

For an activity to be a sport, the criteria X, Y, and Z must be met.

Consider the term defined in your definition essay. What are three to four criteria that must be met for something to fit the definition? Make sure to thoroughly explain and defend your criteria.
