It also needs to be referred to several times in the essay before restating it and demonstrating how it has been proven in the conclusion.</span></span><span>Write a plan for the response<span>Order ideas in a logical sequence.Make sure every point in the plan is relevant to the question.After the plan has been written it should be clear where the essay is going. </span></span><span>Write the introduction<span>Open up the discussion.Introduce the thesis.Indicate how the questions will be answered.Name any texts to be discussed, if appropriate.Engage the reader.</span></span><span>Write the main body of the essay<span>Ensure each point is given a new paragraph.Use words or phrases at the start of each paragraph that will indicate to the reader how it relates to the previous paragraph, eg, 'however', ‘in addition', ‘nevertheless', ‘moreover'.Start each paragraph with a topic sentence that clearly links the paragraph to the rest of the essay, eg "A striking example of Gary Crew's use of light and darkness imagery to suggest notions of knowledge and ignorance occurs in the scene on the jetty".Provide supporting evidence for each point that you make.Revisit the thesis, and express it in different ways if possible, to emphasise how the question is being addressed. </span></span><span>Write the essay conclusion<span>Summarise the main ideas.Demonstrate how you have proven your thesis.Finish with an interesting or thought-provoking, but relevant, comment.</span></span><span>Edit the draft<span>Check for spelling, punctuation and grammar.Delete any sections that are not particularly relevant.Change vocabulary to improve expression.Seek feedback from peers or a teacher before writing the final copy.</span></span><span>Write the final copy<span>Add any footnotes or bibliography if required.Present a clean, neat copy.<span>Submit on time.</span></span></span></span>

Olenka [21]

Correct answer choice is :


<h2>B) The setting is important because the organization of Hell into nine circles reflects Dante's belief in an orderly universe.</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

Inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is accompanied by Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno describes the journey of Dante through Hell, led by the classical Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is described as nine concentric rings of torment found within the Earth, it is the area of those who have denied religious values by allowing to brutal desires or disorder, or by ruining their human ability to fraud or malice against their fellow men. As a parable, the Divine Comedy describes the journey of the soul toward God, with the Inferno representing the acceptance and denial of sin.
