Answer:

B. The death of Caesar

Explanation:

“Beware the ides of March," from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Julius Caesar" is one of the most famous examples of a phrase foreshadowing an event.

In Act I, Scene ii, the soothsayer warns Caesar to “beware the Ides of March!” which foreshadows Caesar's assassination on 15th March. The Elizabethan audience of Shakespeare's age would like have known that Caesar was assassinated on 15th March 44 B.C. So this phrase served the purpose of foreshadowing for them. The phrase appears again in Act III, scene i on 15th March, when Caesar tells the soothsayer that see ides of March has come, and the soothsayer warns again, that it is not gone yet.

In the Roman calendar the ides of March corresponded to 15th March. It was an important day for Roman for several religious observances and for settling the debts.

1. Which statement would be suitable as a thesis for a persuasive essay?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

A. The United States should not interfere with Russian relations in Chechnya.

B. The state should increase driver's registration fees to pay for the new highway overpass.

B. The success of chimps in mastering sign language, however, indicates that they have indeed learned a simple language.

Explanation:

For the first question, A is thesis for writing a persuasive essay. A persuasive essay must convince the audience to take some sort of action. Option A is the best choice because it is trying to convince the audience that interfering in Russian relations in Chechnya would not be a good idea.

The second question has a similar requirement. The thesis statement needs to be something that is actionable. Increasing the driver's registration fees is the only action that is suggested in any of the sentences.

The last answer asks about the thesis of the passage. A thesis cannot be cited text so the first option is incorrect. Option C is not specific and doesn't actually say the main idea. This is also true of option D, it only focuses on one group of scientists rather than the bigger picture.
