Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars? What is the author's purpose in writing this article?

English

Answer: This question refers to the article "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?" by Nina Totenberg.

In this article, Totenberg discusses whether life in prison is too harsh a punishment for juvenile killers. The author does not take a position on this matter and instead focuses on presenting arguments that describe both sides of the question. The main purpose of the author is to encourage readers to think about the subject because legislation needs to be passed soon, and this is a difficult question that deserves consideration. She shows how important this matter is when she says:

"Two years ago, the court used the same rationale when it struck down the penalty of life without parole for nonhomicide crimes committed by juveniles. But in Tuesday's cases, the court faces the question of life without parole in homicide cases... the big question before the Supreme Court on Tuesday is whether life without the possibility of parole is itself an unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment when it is applied to juveniles."

The mistake that the author made in using an in-text citation is:

  • B. Restating the source's author

<h3>What is an In-text citation?</h3>

An in-text citation is a reference to a quotation made by an author on a certain page of his book.

Often there is a separate bibliography underneath the text that contains the full name of the author, the book's title, year, of publication, and publisher.

There was no need for the author of the text above to restate the source's author because that will cause a redundancy.

First figure out what notable is referring too. It is talking about athletes, so it’s referring to people. What is it saying about these people? It is saying that these are people that Geoff knows, since later in the paragraph it says that there are others he doesn’t know we know that the ones he saw before he did now. Now look at the options. Of the choices A) Famous makes the most sense. If some one is famous they are well known. Notable is defined as “worthy of attention or notice; remarkable.”


So the answer is A)Famous

Explanation:

terse

[tərs]

ADJECTIVE

sparing in the use of words; abrupt.

Number 3 is using terse in the sense of abruptness so the only option that makes sense is A

Number 4 is more difficult but going off of the dictionary definition, I think that number 4 is B or C
