The answer is B (was written)
I got this question on Odysseyware and this was the answer I used...Hope this helps!!!
The italicized part of the sentence could be the thesis for "Influence of Lincoln" because it brings Addam's idea together that Lincoln was a remarkable person, with much wisdom, intellect, perception, and most importantly, high morals to be capable of progressing and protecting a nation's democracy. It idealizes the point that Lincoln was no ordinary man, and that no ordinary man has the power to make an impact on society as strong as Lincoln did, if they do not portray the same or similar characteristics.
It may not be a thesis however, since it is embedded within one of her many stories in the chapter. A thesis should typically be placed towards the beginning of the chapter, to summarize the main points, and this sentence was towards the end of the chapter.
Let's break this sentence down:
Sandy's throw to first base was short.
- Prepositional phrases: There is one prepositional phrase: <em>to first base </em>since there is a preposition (to) and an object (first base) altogether.
- The subject is <em>Sandy's throw</em>.
- The verb within the sentence is <em>was</em>.
- There is one complement in the sentence which is subject compliment: <em>short. </em>Remember that subject complements give us more information about the subject and they usually occur after linking verbs (seem, be, become) and, in this sentence, the subject complement is preceded by the verb <em>was.</em>
I say B- because it is a word that may be unfamiliar to audiences. It makes the reader pay attention and not just skip and skim the word.
Hope this helps!
