The Denotative is the literal or primary meaning of a word, in contrast to the feelings or ideas that the word suggests. The Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning.

The banker was probably motivated to make the wager by his hatred for the jurist. True or False = I'm thinking False, but idk.
seropon [69]
The banker had negative feelings towards the jurist. In the story, the jurist did him some not so good things. We would expect that the wager was done out of hatred for the jurist. The banker wanted to take revenge aginst the jurist.

Context clues are helpful when you:
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

C. If you don't know every word in a passage.

Explanation:

Readers use information from text to decipher unfamiliar words. They examine clues from the selection to define words and phrases. Context refers to the words that come before and after a word. Sometimes when an author is introducing a concept, she will use synonyms to help readers make connections.

Which of the following would be the most effective thesis statement for an informative speech?
docker41 [41]

The correct answer is A: Three major themes of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter are sin, forgiveness, and past vs. present.


Remember that a thesis statement is a one-sentence summary of an essay's main ideas. Because it is a summary, it should give a clear overview of the paper's main points.


Answer B does not fit this criteria -- what, specifically, is the symbolism the paper will discuss? This statement does not say; therefore, it is not an acceptable thesis.


Answer C is a question; therefore, it is automatically not a thesis statement.


Answer D sounds good, but it's either not a thesis for an informative paper or it is an analysis that should come somewhere later in a paper. It doesn't summarize the main points of the paper; it only draws a conclusion.


Answer A is the best answer. Notice that it names both the author and the title of the work being discussed, and it provides an oveview of the paper's main points. This thesis says it will discuss three themes and then specifically lists those themes. This is a good thesis for an informative paper.


Therefore, Answer A is the best thesis statement for an informative speech.
