The correct answer is B. Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage.

Explanation:

In an argumentative text, the thesis refers to a statement that expresses the position of the author toward something and that is developed through evidence such as reasons, examples, descriptions, statistics, etc. during the text. This means the thesis statement, also called the main claim is the idea the author aims at explaining and proving. Considering this, in the text presented the thesis is "Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage" because this statement shows the position of the author towards an issue that is writing on her/his grandmother cottage and also, this idea is the one the author explains and argues about by using a detailed description of the way she/he gets distracted while being there.

Like burnt-out torches by sick man's bed Which technique is being used

Liono4ka [1.6K]

After doing some online searching, I've found that this question refers to figurative language. It is not an incomplete question, it was just missing the context for people to be able to understand it. Now that I know what it is about, I can safely answer:

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

In the phrase "Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed" we have something being compared to something else. Even though we don't know what it is, we know it is compared to burnt-out torches. The comparison was made with the help of a support word, "like". Its purpose it to attribute one or more qualities of a burnt-out torch to something else by saying they are similar. Comparisons that use support words are called simile. They are a very common figure of speech along with metaphors, with the difference that metaphors also make comparisons, but without using support words.
