Please read the following excerpt from an essay, and answer the question that follows.I've never actually met a real live humori

st. Well, not in person at any rate. However, one summer, having a lot of time on my hands, I discovered unexpected treasures lurking in the local public library. Among the nuggets I unearthed in those musty stacks was a book by humorist Robert Benchley. To this day I remember one of his quips. He wrote, "There are two kinds of people in this world: those who divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't." After laughing out loud, I became pensive. I wondered why the quip was so funny. A year or so later, I formed a theory. Humor is based on the unexpected.In the passage above, the topic sentence and the thesis are one and the same. What makes the last sentence effective as a thesis statement? A. Specific detailB. AssertionC. SimplicityD. Humor

Answer:

A. Specific Detail

Explanation:

It is definitely not humor or assertion, which is a confident, forceful statement.  I don't see it as simplicity because that is plain, natural, or easy to understand.  When writing a thesis statement, your topic needs to be strong and to the point, which is more a specific detail.  In this case, it is a specific detail about the narrator.

What type of sentence is made up of two simple sentences joined with a and a coordinating conjunction?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The type of sentence made up of two simple sentences joined with a comma and a coordinating conjunction is: a <u>compound</u> sentence.

Explanation:

A simple sentence is constituted of a single independent clause. It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought. When we put two simple sentences together, joining them with a comma and a coordinating conjunction, we have what is called a compound sentence. An example of a compound sentence is:

Simple: I love chocolate ice cream.

Simple: My boyfriend loves strawberry ice cream.

Compound: I love chocolate ice cream, but my boyfriend loves strawberry ice cream.

Why should you get your news from more than one source?
Anastasy [175]

The correct answer is C. To get different points of view on the news.

Even though news are often based on the same facts, events can be perceived from different perspectives. These different perspectives or angles are translated into the news and give as a result different points of view. These differences rely heavily on the ideology and the interests each source represents and stands by.

So, as the manner in which information is presented may vary because they are subject to the standpoint from which each source looks at the event, we should get the news from different sources to create our own critical opinion about events.
