Answer:

A passage from a novel

Explanation:

An excerpt represents not just a quote but a complete passage from a book. It can be a few lines taken from a poem or a novel.

Mostly excerpts are used for complete understanding of a piece of writing. It is easier to critically evaluate a piece of writing when it is broken down into excerpts and then expanded on. It enhances the understanding of the reader.

For example teachers might give a single paragraph to their students and ask them to expand on them and judge their understanding through it.

Write a 300 words essay on how turning assignments on time is important

tamaranim1 [39]

The question above wants to assess your ability to write an essay. For that reason, it's not right for me to write an essay for you, but I'll show you how to write one.

First, you should know that this will be an argumentative essay, as the question wants you to show your opinion on the importance of completing tasks on time.

In this case, an argumentative essay is one in which you show arguments, that is, proven opinions on a certain subject.

Therefore, you should think about your opinion on this subject and research articles and other essays that prove that your opinion is correct.

You can write the essay as follows:

Introduction: Introduce the subject of your essay and show your main opinion. This main opinion will be your thesis statement.

Body: Write two paragraphs where you develop this opinion, showing other arguments and proving them through data and information that proves them. You can show an opinion contrary to yours and use data to show that it is wrong.
