Answer:

2) To present an interpretation.

The author of the passage is providing an interpretation of the book in this sentence. He is arguing that the novel is affirmative and hopeful, and that it stresses the power of humans to reach for greatness and inspire others. This is never explicitly stated in the novel. Therefore, the argument is based on his subjective views and analysis.

4) He also suffers a painful loss.

This revision is the best one for sentence 4. It gives the reader the same idea as the other options. However, it is written more clearly and in an active voice.

Was the argument put forth by the plaintiffs valid? check all of the correct boxes.
aliya0001 [1]

The correct answer are

B) The premises are likely to be true.

C)  The premises reinforce, or support, the conclusion.

D) The conclusion follows logically from the premises.

When the premises serve to support the conclusion's accuracy and effectiveness in a reasonable manner, the argument is said to be valid.

Options B, C, and D would all be acceptable arguments presented by the plaintiffs. Because there is a risk that they may be erroneous as well (as in inductive reasoning).

"The premises are likely to be true," Because the premises and conclusion are inversely related if the premises support the conclusion, it is regarded as true, and if not, the opposite is true.

Because the conclusion follows the premises logically, it is also known as a chain of reasoning. As a result, answers B, C, and D are appropriate.

In a short essay response of at least seventy-five words, explain what it means to analyze a piece of fiction. Your answer shoul
Aloiza [94]
When you analyze a piece of fiction you pick out specific pieces that have meaning or you can find the meaning to. Analyzing will consist of highlighting and marking in the margin. When you analyze you should also write down words you do not understand so you can look them up later. You should keep note of the character and places the author creates, especially if it is made up. When you do this it is easier to track the story line. Analyzing is overall very important to keep you mind in the right place while reading a fictional story.
