What is hedging in regards to writing?

When reading an essay I am supposed to 'identify any instances of hedging.' I don't really know what that means. It's not regarding stock or economics I don't think. I'm reading an essay about fitzgerald's style.

    In this context "hedging" means being intentionally non-committal or ambiguous.
