Answer 1

The correct answers are "an arguable thesis statement" and "a detailed summary of "The Raven"

Explanation:

An analysis paper is a kind of formal academical paper in which the author's purpose is to describe, examine and evaluate a specific work, for example, a novel, story or poem. Additionally to this and similarly to other types of essays, an analysis paper is guided by the main claim or thesis statement that is an arguable statement that summarizes the interpretation of the author. Because of this, it is common in an analysis paper the author introduces and summarizes the work to be analyzed which in this case is the poem "The Raven" and then supports the main claim or thesis by using evidence from the text and arguments. Considering this, it can be concluded the two elements Manuel, who is writing an analysis paper, needs to include is an arguable thesis which serves as a guide to the text and a summary of "The Raven" that introduces the work to be analyzed.
