Answer:
Both texts present a moment of human weakness
Explanation:
The first text shows a moment when Ellen is going through a delicate moment, which left her fragile, with wounded pride and shaken vanity. The second text shows a moment when a character feels a strong fear for a situation that is happening at the moment and that makes him apprehensive.
Both texts present moments of human fragility, when an individual is vulnerable and may have abnormal attitudes as a way to protect himself.
Answer: a. what the author was trying to achieve
Explanation: It's either this one of d. because what the author was trying to achieve is what the authors purpose for writing the work is and an authors work should accomplish or close to accomplish their purpose.
In the process of argumentative writing, or any research, a very important step, aside from creating a claim and collecting the data to support this claim, is the creation of the counterclaim. A counterclaim is literally the way in which a writer contemplates that his argument, or claim, may be wrong, or partially wrong, and this adds veritability and trustworthiness to a research process because it shows that the writer did not just use his/her point of view and research to lay a claim, but considered other options as well and considered the fact that his/her statement may be untrue. What is important to consider, when building a counterclaim, however, it is important to consider all the points established by other writers, researchers or people in general. The correct answer would be C, because when doing research, a writer must consider all the facts, both that support and detract, from the claim in order to make his/her text balanced and not biased.
