A. Silence is being personified here. It is described as a net containing "fears and misgivings." in other words, the writer is saying they have decided to keep their fears to themselves.

In this passage, silence is being personified. The correct answer is a).

Personification is a literary device in which the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics is given to something non-human, or to the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

In this case, silence is being described as a net where these two characters hold their fears and misgivings.

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.
