Select the correct answer. In the excerpt from jack london's "the human drift", the thesis statement is expressed in these sente
nces: man early discovered death. As soon as his evolution permitted, he made himself better devices for killing than the old natural ones of fang and claw. Which of these supporting premises reinforces the thesis statement? like a settler clearing weeds and forest bushes in order to plant corn, so man was compelled to clear all manner of life away in order to plant himself. He devoted himself to the invention of killing devices before he discovered fire or manufactured for himself religion. And ever he has carried the battle wider and wider, until to-day not only is he a far more capable killer of men and animals than ever before, but he has pressed the battle home to the infinite and invisible hosts of menacing lives in the world of microorganisms. And from the fear-stricken, jungle-lurking, cave-haunting creature of long ago, he won to empery over the whole animal world. A. 1 b. 1 and 2 c. 4 d. 1, 2, and 3.
The premises that reinforce the thesis "the human drift", statement are A) 1, 2, and 3.
The objective of a thesis statement, which often consists of one or two phrases, is to lead the author so that he or she doesn't lose focus while also educating the reader about the author's viewpoint and the topic of what will be read by the man.
The thesis statement in the "The Human Drift" passage by Jack London reveals that the topic under discussion will be how humans have improved upon and become more proficient at killing.
The thesis statement should be supported and reinforced by the premises. In this instance, the thesis statement will be well supported by any premise that demonstrates the development of man's killing techniques and the diversity of his prey.
Those are the exact things that sentences 1, 2, and 3 do. They discuss how man kills to maintain his dominance over other species, how killing tools were created perhaps too early in man's history, and how man has improved to the point where he can kill germs.
