At six-thirty, he gave an order to move out, and the column of vehicles left Fort Detrick's main gate and headed south, toward t

he Potomac River. It consisted of a line of ordinary automobiles—the officers' family cars, with the officers inside wearing civilian clothes, looking like commuters. The line of cars followed behind two unmarked military vehicles. One was a supply van and the other was a snow-white ambulance. It was an unmarked Level 4 biocontainment ambulance. Inside it there were an Army medical-evacuation team and a biocontainment pod known as a bubble stretcher. This was a combat medical stretcher enclosed by a biocontainment bubble made of clear plastic. If someone was bitten by a monkey, he would go into the bubble, and from there he would be transferred to the Slammer. The supply van was a white unmarked refrigerator truck. This was to hold dead monkeys and tubes of blood.

Answer:

<em>“in groves all around Basra grow the best dates in the world”</em>

Explanation:

Subjective perspective is the personal opinion of the writer is mentioned or used. In other words, the point of view that is based on the author or writer's personal opinion is known as subjective perspective.

From the given excerpt, Marco Polo expressed his opinion about the dates found along the<em> "groves all around Basra",</em> calling them <em>"the best dates in the world." </em>This is a subjective approach because the opinion is the author's personal belief and not everyone's.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

The group _______ excited to see one another again. Which verb agrees with the subject in the sentence? A. were B. am C. was D.
WARRIOR [948]
I would say C. “was”. It’s definitely not “am”, because that just sounds completely wrong. It’s not “are” because that sounds a bit wrong, too. It can’t be “were” because it’s only referring to one group, not many groups. The only answer it could be is C.

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.
