Answer:

B). Clearly take a side.

Explanation:

As per the question, the best way to improve the given thesis by 'clearly taking a side' as the chief aim of a thesis statement is to clarify the topic that is going to be discussed and indicate the audience about the central idea, claim or argument that author is going to deal or favor throughout the essay.

The rest of the essay or paper is aimed to explain and justify the claim or argument by proposing sufficient evidence and counterclaims to establish the validity/credibility of the argument or claim and persuade the audience to believe in it. The conclusion is marked by the restatement of the thesis statement and leaving the audience to take the author's intended idea. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

The answer is B: clearly take a side.

A thesis statement is the main point or central message that writers include at the beginning of their writings since it explains the main ideas they are going to develop in the rest of the essay.


In every thesis statement not only does the writer include the topic of the essay but he/she also presents a comment or statement that tells the readers the writer’s position in relation to the topic being discussed; that is, if the writer is for or against the topic he/she is going to develop later.  

In this thesis statement the writer has included the main idea that he/she is going to develop in the essay (that is, the effect too much television has on children), and he/she has also included the two opposite viewpoints regarding the topic. However, he/she has forgotten to include his/her opinion: Does he/she agree or not?

So, in order to improve this thesis, the writer must take a side.

In the body of the essay, the writer can include his/her reasons for being for or against the topic and he/she can even include quotes and statistics from different sources in order to support his/her ideas. They do not need to be included in the thesis statement.

The <span>excerpt from "Daughter of Invention" which reveals Laura’s Dominican origin through unique pronunciation is definitely </span><span>B) "Remember that time we took the car to Bear Mountain, and we re-ah-lized that we had forgotten to pack an opener with our pick-a-nick?" 
You can even see in the excerpt itself that one word is graphically written differently than the rest of the text. Laura pronounces the word realized as re-ah-lized, which is apparently not the usual pronunciation of the word, but something native to the Dominican Republic.

1.2.2 Quiz: Understand the Elements of Rhetoric

Question 3 of 10

2 Points

Which statement is an example of pathos? A. Children in low income urban areas are five times more likely to suffer from hunger as those in rural areas. B. Each year, over 130,000 children don't get adequate nutrition. Of these children, almost 20,000 are officially starving. C. How can you turn away from a child who is hungry? Look at the sad faces of the children and find it in your heart to give. D. According to Dr. Bost, an expert on childhood hunger, hungry children cannot properly function in school.

Answer:

C. How can you turn away from a child who is hungry? Look at the sad faces of the children and find it in your heart to give, is an example of pathos.

Explanation:

Pathos is a rhetorical resource whose main objective is to influence the emotional triggering of the reader or listener of a speech. The use of pathos can be seen in texts that depict emotional, delicate situations that make the reader feel angry, compassion, sadness or even pity, among other feelings.

As you can see in the question above, alternative C evokes sentimentality, making the reader feel compassion and pity for what you are reading.
