C) Benson finds the film to be on the whole a satisfying feature, while Fergus has nothing but scorn for the film's quality.
The two reviews take very different attitudes towards the film. Benson summarizes the film and then says that it is "sure to be a box office smash" and that the film "is one film you don't want to miss." She obviously feels that the film is good and worth seeing. On the other hand Fergus does nothing but criticize the film. The review starts with a warning to viewers that the film is not what critics are saying. She calls the film "summer's biggest bore" and states that it's biggest problem is the pacing.
Hi!
The correct options would be Direct Quotations and Paraphrasing.
Textual evidence refers to those lines or statements that substantiate a claim. In our case, while analyzing a literary piece, we can incorporate direct quotations, or paraphrase particular lines from the essay that support our argument or opinion.
Direct quotations are lines cited unaltered directly from the essay, and are incorporated between quotation marks. This is the most effective form of textual evidence.
Paraphrasing entails that the same idea, fact or message conveyed by the author in the essay are mentioned in the analysis in one's own words.
The thesis statement is clearly defines the topic of the analysis and all the textual evidence must be presented in a way to support it. It, itself, cannot be textual evidence.
The summary of the plot would be the brief account of the essay, and may not necessarily be as effective in proving a claim, and does not qualify as effective textual evidence when analyzing a literary essay.
Similarly the biography of the author may or may not relate to the literary essay, and is hardly used as textual evidence.
Hope this helps.
