1. In the Games at Twilight, the kids are playing two games. First in the afternoon they play hide and seek and when twilight came they were playing the funeral game. The main character Ravi wanted to win the game of hide and seek and he hid in a shed for a long time. He thought he won the game when dashed to the den only to find that the other kids have forgotten about him and have started playing the funeral game.

2. Twilight is a symbolic time of the day here. A potent symbol at that. Twilight symbolizes the transitional period, the end of the day and the beginning of the night. Twilight here relates to Ravi specifically. During twilight the day is ending as is Ravi's childhood as he learns that the world does not revolve around him.

Which sentence is an example of an effective thesis statement for an argument about cancer funding?
yawa3891 [41]

The best example of a thesis statement is the following: "Funding for breast cancer should remain higher than the funding of other cancers because much of the funding is privately raised, the resulting research has proven beneficial for advancing the treatment of other cancers, and public support will demand the maintenance of current funding" (C).

A good thesis statement should be one sentence containing clearly:

  • the <u>main idea of the essay or paper</u>;
  • the <u>conclusion</u> you will be reaching as an answer to this question;
  • and, potentially, a summary of the <u>thread of ideas you will be developing</u> to come to this conclusion.

In statement C, the thesis is expressed directly and the author explains why this argument is important: current levels of research about breast cancer funding should at least be maintained, and prioritized over other forms of cancer, because this specific research helps us learn more about other cancers and how to treat them.

The author also adds an element which will appear in the development of ideas (the main body of the paper): the fact that the public opinion supports current breast cancer research funding levels.

Which revision most effectively corrects the faulty parallelism in this sentence?
Alex_Xolod [135]

The revision which most effectively corrects the faulty parallelism in the above sentence is:

C. The novel is about a woman who is young, poor, and hardworking. 

Parallelism is the use of same components, forms or ideas which are the same or are similar in a sentence. It adds rhythm to the sentences and helps in specifying the ideas more because it involves repetition of ideas or words. The repetition of the words in the lines or parallelism makes an idea or argument more specific and clearer.
