In your introduction, you have to clearly identifiy the experience you are about to relate?
Full question: Read the excerpt from Iqbal.
It's true that Karim did everything the master wanted and that he supervised us, because otherwise he would have had nowhere to go and nothing to eat, but he would never have had the courage to peek into the master's windows. It was big trouble for anyone to go near the house.
In this excerpt, the author characterizes Karim’s actions to: reveal that Karim is unafraid of Hussain Khan. is dependent on Hussain Khan. enjoys working for Hussain Khan. wants to leave Hussain Khan.
Answer: Is dependent on Hussain Khan.
Explanation:
We can see at the beginning of the excerpt that Karim did everything that the master wanted because without him there would be nothing to eat and live which means that he is dependent on his master.
- The narrator is clearly showing his dependence and he is dependent on him because those things that he is working for him are bringing him things that are important for his living. If he doesn't do everything for his master, there would be no life for him, he would not have food or home.
The answer is A. Kotowski cites four scholars who specialize in the study of volcanoes, whereas Ferguson cites only the encyclopedia.
The given thesis is arguing that Kotowski is more reliable than Ferguson because he backs up his statements with a greater number of more reliable sources. In choice A, Kotowski is not only using three more sources than Ferguson, but they're sources from reputable specialists, making them higher quality sources as well.
If you're still confused, you can use elimination to rule out the others:
B. B doesn't work because there's no mention of the rate of volcanic change in the thesis. Although the statement may be true, it's not evidence to support the writer's claim.
C. C doesn't work because there's no mention of the frequency of volcanic eruption in the thesis. Again, although the statement may be true, it doesn't necessarily support the writer's claim.
D. D doesn't work because there's no mention of the similarities between the two pieces. If the thesis is arguing that Kotowski's work is different from Ferguson's because it's more reliable, it'd be counterproductive for the writer to mention the similarities of the work. Therefore, this "evidence" has no relation to the thesis and would not support the author's thesis.
Hope this helps!
