I say D. when using an ellipsis, it should first of all be used in the quote. in D it is not used in the quote, but is used before, which is incorrect as far as i know.

An ellipsis is used incorrectly in sentence D, "Abigail confessed that she..."loved the novel by Jane Austen more than the novel by Mark Twain."

An ellipsis (or three dots) is used to delete unimportant information. In sentence D the elipsis is not necessary because the speaker is not eliminating anything from the quote. In options A and C, the ellipsis is at the end, symbolizing that there is more to the quote than what is written. Also, in option B, the speaker is eliminating the first names of the author. While the sentence would be fine without the ellipsis, it is not incorrect.

How would i write a thesis statement
Zanzabum
<span> A thesis statement is what you're trying to prove with your paper. That means you are trying to prove it. It can be both factual if you're attempting to write a research paper or an opinion with solid reasons to back it up. When writing a thesis you don't want to write it about something obvious that someone could easily pick up themselves. You want to tell the reader something they didn't know before or something that makes them think.  </span>

What is the first step to taking to help reduce pollution
svp [43]

The first step in reducing pollution is to acknowledge that there is pollution.

Without this step, we wouldn't even need to see pollution as a threat unless we <em>acknowledge</em> that it exists first.
