Which of the following thesis statement best shows the tension between and existing view and the writer's point view?
To answer these questions, we need to understand the concepts and principles of English composition. Here are the explanations and steps to finding the correct answers to the questions:
1. The question asks for the best organization for topics that have a self-explanatory structure, like steps in a process or events in chronological order. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the different types of organization.
To do this, we can eliminate options A and C since "Natural" and "Organic" do not specifically refer to a type of organization.
Option B, "Synthetic," does not match the self-explanatory structure mentioned in the question.
Therefore, the correct answer must be option D, "Logical," which aligns with the clear and sequential organization needed for topics with self-explanatory structures.
2. The question asks for the element of a strong paragraph that specifically focuses and holds the tension between ideas. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the purpose of each option.
A "topic sentence" introduces the main idea of a paragraph, but it does not necessarily hold the tension between ideas.
A "body paragraph" contains supporting information, but it does not specifically focus and hold tension.
A "hook sentence" is used to grab the reader's attention at the beginning of an essay, and while it can create tension, it may not specifically focus and hold the tension between ideas.
Thus, the correct answer is option D, "thesis statement," which summarizes the main argument and holds the tension between ideas in an essay.
3. The question asks for the type of paragraph that summarizes the writer's argument and supports the thesis statement. To find the correct answer, we need to understand the function of different types of paragraphs.
An "introductory paragraph" introduces the topic and provides background information, but it does not necessarily summarize the writer's argument and support the thesis statement.
A "topic paragraph" introduces a specific idea or subtopic in the body of an essay and supports the main argument, but it does not summarize the entire argument.
A "concluding paragraph" wraps up the essay and restates the main points, but it does not summarize the writer's argument and support the thesis statement.
A "body paragraph" contains supporting information for the main argument and can summarize the writer's argument, supporting the thesis statement.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D, "body paragraph."
4. The question asks for a good form of evidence to include in a body paragraph. To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the reliability and relevance of each option.
A "quote from an expert" is a good form of evidence as it provides authoritative and credible support for an argument.
"Your own opinion" is not a reliable form of evidence as it lacks external support and may not be persuasive to the reader.
"An excerpt from a tabloid" is not a reliable form of evidence as tabloids often have sensational and unsubstantiated information.
"A link to a Wikipedia page" is not a reliable form of evidence as Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and may not always provide accurate information.
Hence, the correct answer is option A, "quote from an expert."
5. The question asks for a good thing to include in the conclusion of an academic essay. To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the purpose of the conclusion and the elements that should be included.
The conclusion should summarize the main points and arguments of the essay, but it should also provide a sense of closure and leave a lasting impression on the reader.
Option A, "a return to a theme brought up in the introduction," is a good thing to include as it reinforces the main ideas and ties the essay together.
Option B, "a sudden change of perspective to keep the reader interested," is not a good thing to include as it may confuse the reader and distract from the main argument.
Option C, "a new piece of evidence that was not discussed in the body," is not a good thing to include as the conclusion should not introduce new information.
Option D, "a line saying, in conclusion, these are my main points," is a weak and formulaic way to conclude an essay and does not provide a strong ending.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A, "a return to a theme brought up in the introduction."
These are the explanations and steps to finding the correct answers for the first five questions.
