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.
Second paragraph, and all except the first sentence. Hope i could help! :) <span />
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.
