An author claims that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison." The author provides the

following reason as support:
In 2013, the TV show Sport-Zone surveyed 2,000 athletes. 73 percent admitted knowing a teammate who took performance-enhancing drugs. Huang Kroll, a spokesperson for the International Olympic Committee, was interviewed during the program. "Using illegal substances to gain an advantage is a huge issue," he explained. "Unless stronger laws are passed—laws that result in prison rather than suspension from competition—the problem will continue to grow."

Which choice best describes the reason the author provides?

A.It is effective. It supports the claim clearly and logically.
B.It is irrelevant. It discusses a fact that is off topic and does not support the claim.
C.It is unreliable. It does not give any details to prove that the source can be trusted.
D.It is unverified. It does not cite a source to show where the information was located.

The correct answer is A. It is effective. It supports the claim clearly and logically.

Explanation:

In argumentative text and speeches for a reason to be effective it needs to directly address the claim and besides this, explain it and prove it by using a reliable source that includes statistics, quotations, reference to other studies, among others and by following a structure that connects logically to the claim. In the case presented the claim is that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison" and this has been supported by including a refers to a survey carried out by a the TV show Sport-zone about the athletes that use performance-enhancing rules and the sanctions this implies that includes statistics but also the words of an expert in the topic. Because of this, this reason is effective because it does not explain and supports the claim, but also it proves it in a clear and logical way and by using a reliable source.

What is it called when an author doesn’t directly quote a source, but paraphrases their words and gives them proper credit?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Paraphrasing is when you read someone's idea or concept from another source and then put it into your own words. It is perfectly acceptable to paraphrase another author's research IF you cite it and give them proper credit for their ideas--even if those ideas are now in your own words.

Please write a short letter to Lee, between 120-180 words.
Ray Of Light [21]
It would be too obvious for me to write the entire letter for you, but I'll include a list of points that you could include in your own writing style: 

* Thanking Lee for his letter, and saying that you are happy that he is having a good time. 
* Telling him roughly what you're studying at school (without being boring). 
* Write about what you would like to do when you leave school. 
* Finally, say that you miss him a lot and look forward to hearing from him soon.

Written in 1827, it is one of his most important works as it gives a lot of insight into American history of the time.

2. The Power of Sympathy - William Hill Brown. It is considered to be the first American novel, even though it is not a classic novel - it is written in the epistolary form, which means that it takes the form of letters. It tells the story of what can happen if you give in to your passions.

3. The Marble Fawn - Nathaniel Hawthorne. Written in 1860, this novel tells the story of what happened during the American Civil War, but in Italy. It is a romance, which means that the story is about love between the characters, and about their life and struggles.

4. The Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane. This is a novel about war, the American Civil War, to be more precise. It tells the story of one soldier who decided to flee the battlefield in the middle of the battle because he was afraid and we can see the consequences of his decision.

5. For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway. This is another war story, but this time set during the Spanish Civil War. It is one of his most famous novels because it vividly portrays the disasters of wars as the protagonist is told to blow up an entire bridge.

6. a serious analysis of a literary work - literary criticism. The word criticism doesn't necessarily refer to anything bad. It just means that the critic is reading a novel and writing his or her own opinion about that, which could be either good or bad - or they could be completely indifferent. 

7. Charlotte Temple - a domestic sentimental novel. Written in 1791 by Susanna Rowson, the novel tells the story of a schoolgirl who starts a relationship with an older man, in which process she gets pregnant and poor and is left on her own to take care of her and her unborn child. The novel was quite successful at the time. 

8. Samuel Clemens - Mark Twain. Samuel Clemens is Mark Twain's real name - Mark Twain is just his nom de plume. He decided to use another name so as not to be so easily recognized. He is one of the most important American authors of the Realism era.

9. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - a novel of satire. The author, Mark Twain, was a famous humorist and satirist, so obviously this work would represent a satire of sorts. It tells a story of a Yankee engineer who suddenly found himself at King Arthur's court in Camelot. 

10. The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck. Steinbeck got a Nobel Prize for Literature for this novel in 1962. The book is set during the era of the Great Depression, and tells a story of a family which is forced to move in order to seek better life conditions during this difficult time in American history.

11. Pilgrim's Progress - allegory. The author, John Bunyan, used names to refer to abstract entities. So, we can find characters such as Obstinate, Faithful, Help, etc. to denote the qualities which they represent by having such names. 

12. Yoknapatawpha County - William Faulkner. This place is fictional - Faulkner made it up and included it in his works. According to him, it is located somewhere in Mississippi County, but it is based on a real place called Lafayette County.
