A. The author's central claim is the thesis It is the purpose of a paper.
B. What the author is attempting to demonstrate by composing the text. A claim can be argumentative (something the author is attempting to induce the peruser almost) or informative (something the author is attempting to advise the peruser around). The claim guides the rest of the content. All through the text, the author will give illustrations and commentary that continuously interfaces back to the central claim. This is why distinguishing the author's claim is pivotal to understanding the fundamental reason of a work.
<span>C. Yes it does go throughout the entire text. It explains the central ideas in the paragraph. The thesis give the idea of what is going to be explain and the topics of the paragrah, which makes it all connected. </span>
I have found the excerpt and the choices from another source. I will paste them below:
<span>They laughed at his wild excess of speech, of feeling, and of gesture. They were silent before the maniac fury of his sprees, which occurred almost punctually every two months, and lasted two or three days. They picked him foul and witless from the cobbles, and brought him home . . . . And always they handled him with tender care, feeling something strange and proud and glorious lost in [him]. . . . He was a stranger to them: no one—not even Eliza—ever called him by his first name. He was—and remained thereafter—"Mister" Gant. . . .
</span>A. They spread gossip about his unusual conduct.
B. They consider him a talented man and good friend.
C. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
D. They worry about his excessive behaviors.
The excerpt would tell us that Oliver's neighbors (C) think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
We know that the neighbors think Oliver is peculiar or strange through the first half of the excerpt and from the line "he was a stranger to them". Despite this strangeness though, we can also infer that the neighbors revere or deeply respect him because they still "handled him with tender care".
