English

Lady_Fox [76]3 years ago
3 0

Hello :)

A linking verb is a verb that describes a subject, a linking verb connects a noun and a predicate.These verbs always link subjects to something that further describes the subject of the sentence.

A does not contain a linking verb, but it does contain a helping verb; "has". B does not contain a linking verb, but it does also contain a helping verb; "are" C doesn't contain a linking verb, but some might get this mixed up because is has the word have which is a linking verb, but in front of that word it says "could" indicating that it didn't happen. D does contain a linking verb "have been" this indicates that they've been feeling this way. <em>The hockey players</em> is the noun and<em> </em><em>anxious about the match is the </em>predicate.

So i'm inferring that the answer is D

Which sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay is most likely the thesis statement
Dmitrij [34]

The given question is incomplete as the excerpt is not given. The excerpt should be given below:

'O. Henry's short story "The Gift of Magi" is about a couple who are deeply in love. Della and Jim are poor, but they each want to buy the other a special Christmas present. Because they have no money, they sell their own priced possessions to be able to afford presents for each other. O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love. Despite having no luxuries, Della and Jim are willing to make sacrifices for each other because their love is true.'

The sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.'  A thesis statement is typically stated in a single sentence, however it might be repeated elsewhere.

  • O. Henry illustrates that true love is unaffected by poverty in his short story "The Gift of Magi" because it captures the essence of his point.
  • Della sells her hair so that she may afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch, while Jim sells his lovely pocket watch so that he can buy a brooch for Della's lovely long hair.
  • As a result, their tangible gifts are meaningless, but one has nonetheless shown the other that they are capable of sacrificing their most valued assets for one another, so demonstrating their love for one another.
  • The real gift they both receive from the Magi on that particular Christmas day is this realisation.

Therefore, the sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.' An essay's, research paper's, etc. core idea or claim is succinctly summarised in the thesis statement.
