Answer:
On Christmas Day, Mr. Tonto received a call from Sakasaka police station asking for him to go to the station.
The narrator (Mr. Tonto´s daughter or son) accompanied him in the car ride, and ten minutes later they arrived at the station.
There, an officer explained that the narrator´s elder brother had been arrested for having cocaine in his shop.
They asked if they were allowed to prove his innocence and the officer agreed.
Mr. Tonto then brought out a machine from his car to scan both his son's fingers and the fingerprints on the substance to prove they didn´t match so he was exonerated and freed.
Answer:
A. The United States should not interfere with Russian relations in Chechnya.
B. The state should increase driver's registration fees to pay for the new highway overpass.
B. The success of chimps in mastering sign language, however, indicates that they have indeed learned a simple language.
Explanation:
For the first question, A is thesis for writing a persuasive essay. A persuasive essay must convince the audience to take some sort of action. Option A is the best choice because it is trying to convince the audience that interfering in Russian relations in Chechnya would not be a good idea.
The second question has a similar requirement. The thesis statement needs to be something that is actionable. Increasing the driver's registration fees is the only action that is suggested in any of the sentences.
The last answer asks about the thesis of the passage. A thesis cannot be cited text so the first option is incorrect. Option C is not specific and doesn't actually say the main idea. This is also true of option D, it only focuses on one group of scientists rather than the bigger picture.
A is wrong because "Wendys'" should be "Wendy's", because the possessive isn't plural.
C is wrong because "Its" should be "It's", because "It's" is a contraction for "It is."
D is wrong because the apostrophe should be after "judges", not "statements." Statements do not own anything, but the judges own the statements.
B is the correct answer.
