Answer:

1. Option D ‘He should remove the phrase "I truly believe that"’. Although giving examples and adding more information would support his thesis (for example, comparisons between the thesis he is defending against the one he is not, like option C), the idea of using personal phrases such as “I believe” is not proper for a newspaper informative article, unless is an opinion article in which the reader is expected to encounter this kind of resources.

2. Option C “Make his thesis more grounded in facts”. As he is expressing his opinion, he needs to back it up with additional information, in order to support the idea he is writing about.  

3. Option D “My experience, passion, and record will be asset to your firm”. Is a proper, formal way to describe his intended thesis and to suggest his capabilities make him the one for the position, as he seeks the approval of the firm to get the desired job.

4. Option A “Applying to college is simple because all you have to do is pick a school, fill out the forms, and wait for your acceptance letter”.  This is the suitable way to inform that the process is easy, describing the steps so to support her opinion and also seniors know what to expect in their application processes.

5. Option D “The thesis does not need to be revised”. The original statement provided by Chaquita is well written, proper for an essay, and by adding some more information and facts could be very persuading.

Some schools in Edmonton have a rule that does not reflect the maturity of Grade 6 students. What is this rule?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The rule of escorting sixth graders to the bathroom in some schools does not reflect their maturity.

Explanation:

"Grade Six in Edmonton" is an article that talks about how the schools in Edmonton are trying to develop sixth graders.

<u>While talking about the supervision of sixth graders, the writer writes that schools in Edmonton have rules to make sure that the students do their things on their own, such as crossing the street. Some schools in Edmonton have rules of not escorting the sixth graders to the bathroom, so as to make them learn independence. But some schoolshave rules that they still need to be escorted to the bathroom, which does not reflect the maturity of sixth graders</u>.

So, it is the rule of escorting Grade 6 students to the bathroom that does not reflect their maturity.
