I agree with your answers. :-)
Your answers are mostly correct! Let me go over each question and explain the correct answer and reasoning behind it:
6. What's the next step to choosing a topic once you've identified a general subject?
- The correct answer is narrowing the topic. Once you have a general subject in mind, you need to narrow it down to a specific focus or angle that you want to explore. This helps make your research and writing more manageable and focused.
7. What question should you consider when narrowing the topic?
- The correct answer is Why do I need to do this? When narrowing a topic, it's important to consider the purpose or significance of your research. Asking why you need to explore this topic helps you ensure that it's meaningful and relevant to your overall goals.
8. What else should you consider when narrowing the topic?
- The correct answer is How long should the paper be? While other considerations like procrastination, computer labs, or formatting are relevant in the research and writing process, when narrowing the topic, it's important to consider the scope and length of the paper. This will help you determine the level of detail and depth you can cover within the given assignment requirements.
9. What should you do once you have narrowed your topic?
- The correct answer is formulate a thesis. Once you have narrowed down your topic, the next step is to develop a clear and specific thesis statement. The thesis statement is the main argument or claim of your paper and provides a roadmap for your research and writing.
So, your answers are mostly correct, but for question 8, the correct answer is "How long should the paper be?" instead of "How many quotes should be on each page?"
