Answer:

From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs

The claim is "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.

Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.

Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.

Below are works cited entries for a book in print by one author. Select the one that is completely correct.
True [87]

The correct answer is Entry A. Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1977. Print.

Explanation:

In writing, it is common to use ideas or words of other authors to support own ideas; however, ideas taken from other sources and authors cannot be used without acknowledging authorship. This is usually included by adding some information such as the author's last name and the number page during in-text citation and including a works cited page at the end of the document with  entries that provide further information about each of the sources used during the paper; however, the type of information included is not the same in all cases and mainly depends on the type of source.

In the case of printed book by one author the MLA manual which is the manual commonly used to write and publish academic document establishes it is necessary to include the name of the author (last name first), the name of the book, the city of publication, the publisher, the year of publication and the word print. Besides this, other specific guidelines in terms of punctuation should be followed this includes separating the last name from the first name of the author using a comma, then adding a period before writing the name of the book then using period again to introduce the city of publication, using colon to introduce the publisher, followed by a comma to introduce the year and finally a period to introduce the word "Print". Considering this, the entry that is completely correct is "Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1977. Print" as the information of the source has been included in the correct order and following the punctuation marks required.
