Answer: A) He gives examples that point to a problem of lost innocence in modern society.

Explanation:

The first stanza of "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats is as follows:

<em>Turning and turning in the widening gyre </em>

<em>The falcon cannot hear the falconer; </em>

<em>Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; </em>

<em>Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, </em>

<em>The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere </em>

<em>The ceremony of innocence is drowned; </em>

<em>The best lack all conviction, while the worst </em>

<em>Are full of passionate intensity.</em>

<em />

We can see innocence clearly mentioned as something being drowned while chaos takes over the world. This poem is interpreted as a prediction of horrifying acts by mankind, such as World War II and Nazism. According to the speaker, the world has lost its guidance, its center, and is now caving in. Only a Second Coming - biblical reference to the return of Jesus Christ, when everyone will be judged for their sins - will purify this Earth.

Answers:

1) Every composition has three main parts: introduction, body, and conclusion.

The introduction is the paragraph that introduces the topic and states the thesis.

The body are several paragraphs after the introduction. The body support and develops the thesis. And the conclusion is the paragraph that gives the final point.

2) The statements that exemplify strong thesis statements would be:

  • The brief history of television is punctuated by major changes in technology.
  • Although fitness experts all agree that weight lifting can be beneficial, they disagree over the ideal regimen.

'Thesis Statement' is described as the statement that functions to reveal the central claim or idea of the author's work briefly.

It informs the readers about the upcoming argument or subject of the essay or paper that the author will deal with throughout the work.

The key characteristics of a strong thesis statement would be:

Arguability.

Precise(Neither too broad nor too narrow)

Focused and particular.

Clarity.

The third and fifth statements most adequately contain these characteristics while the other options fail to do so due to either being too wide or too brief which makes them lack clarity and focus.

Thus, options B. and D. are the correct answers.

tester [92]

Checked out

Checked out is not domain specific language. When talking about medical visits, checked out is an informal term for having a medical evaluation. A check-up is a routine procedure done yearly that is normally called a physical in the medical field. A fall is a fall. There is no other domain specific vocabulary that can change this. Clinic and injuries are all typical domain specific terms that can be applied in medical situations.
