Wouldn't the students just copy-paste the bit they can see? How does the hidden part get included?
The hidden part is in the middle somewhere. Most likely hidden in a paragraph break. That way they include it when selecting all the visible text.
Why would an essay assignment have multiple paragraphs of instructions?
I've definitely had English essays that were like, "read the short story presented below and then explain how the author used literary devices to express their purpose."
