Answer:
to introduce the claim
Explanation:
I'm a senior, and I've heard my English teacher say this a million times, the purpose of the introduction is to introduce a claim/viewpoint. Yes, you can introduce the author, but that isn't the PRIMARY purpose. The hook goes at the bottom of the introduction, but also isn't the primary purpose. The topic kind of goes throughout the essay.
Authors use descriptive language to show an imagery for the readers. they give you a small picture in your mind for you to give the rest of the story in your head, using your imagination mainly lol
Answer:
First Option: The first glasses did not help people who were nearsighted.
Explanation:
An inference is a conclusion which we make based on some reasoning or evidence.
In this case, there is an evidence in text that the first eyeglass lenses made of convex glass ONLY helped people who were farsighted. From the word "ONLY" we infer that those glasses did not help people who were nearsighted.
Second Option: The second option,<em>“In the past people who were nearsighted did not need glasses”</em> has no evidence in the text not is it true based on what we already know.
Third Option: It states that,<em>“In the past most people were farsighted”.</em> This too has no evidence in the text not is it true based on what we already know.
