A topic sentence should make clear what the paragraph is about and express a view about the subject matter.
Answer:
Alcott's stories about the March family are timeless.
Explanation:
The author shows how the March family histories are timeless and for this reason, they are still relevant today and manage to move the imagination and admiration of modern readers. He says that this success is created mainly because Alcott had the ability to write about domestic life in a very exciting and stimulating way, although she found this kind of life dull.
Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.
Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.
In this passage from Walden, Thoreau the analogy is:
He is comparing life to a moving train
Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
The correct answer is Reference
Explanation:
In grammar, a pronoun reference error occurs when a pronoun especially the pronouns "that", "those", "it" does not relate correctly to the noun it is replaces which lead to confusing, absurd or ambiguous constructions. This is called a pronoun reference error because the relationship between the pronoun and the noun it refers to that act as a reference or antecedent is not clear. This occurs in the sentence "The papers are on the desk that I corrected", in which the pronoun "that" seemed to refer to the desk when it actually refers to the paper and therefore the relationship between the pronoun "that" and the antecedent "the papers" is not clear. Thus, the type of pronoun error in this sentence is a reference or pronoun reference error.
