Answer:
Option (3)
Explanation:
Memoirs are those writings by a person about his/ her own life experiences. It may or may not have a historical importance, but most of the memoirs like Elie Weisel's "Night" serves an important source of witness' accounts of the events that happened in the past.
Among the given sentences, the best example of a memoir is the chef writing "about his early cooking years in Germany and France". He himself is the writer, making it a personal account of his earlier days. Also, he wrote about his days as a young chef, writing about his experiences so as to provide an insight into what his life was before. The first option is not about the personal account of the king, the second being a student's personal views which are not valid for a memoir or anything memorable. The last option is a personal account but about an unimportant topic, a detailed description of bikes and their parts which cannot be deemed a memoir.
Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
The correct answer from each drop-down menu are the following ones:
The article "The Melting Arctic" attempst to win over public opinion by making use of persuasive techniques. One such technique is the use of <u>scientific data ,</u> which relies on proofs, graphs, and charts. The article also relies on <u>expert opinion,</u> which involves the endorsement of an idea or opinion by a renowned professional in that particular field.
In contrast, the NOAA video uses visuals of animals to appeal to the viewer's <u>emotions.</u> It makes <u>passionate</u> claims about the worsening Arctic conditions and the adverse effects they have on animal life.
The linking word "in contrast" indicates that what is about to be introduced should be the opposite to whas has been said. Consequently, as the first paragraph talks about scientific data, the second one should appeal to the opposite of that, that is, emotions and beliefs. "Passionate" is the only adjective in the examples that has a positive connotation that can be put together with the first option ("emotions").
lack of thoroughness, depth of character, or serious thought
