Read the following passage from an analysis essay's body: Both Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Herman Melville's Mo

by-D share important traits of Gothic literature. In Moby-D, Melville uses the color white to represent grotesqueness, saying that it "peculiarly repels and often shocks the eye" (211). Hawthorne similarly relies on color to convey meaning, drawing particular emphasis to the scarlet in the "A" that Hester Prynne must wear. What is the primary weakness of this passage? A. No evidence is given from either novel. B. The evidence is not clearly tied to the claim. C. Color is an inappropriate topic for analysis. D. The passage fails to make a debatable claim.

Answer:

D). The passage fails to make a debatable claim.

Explanation:

The key weakness of the given passage is that 'it fails to establish a debatable claim.' A claim is characterized as debatable when the readers could reasonably argue on different opinions regarding it but here the 'claim regarding the presence of gothic elements' in Hawthorne's 'Scarlett Letter' and Herman Melville's 'Moby-D' is already agreed upon and accepted as a fact. Thus, <u>there remains no point in persuading the readers' to believe in it by comparing the two</u>. Another weakness of this passage is that the evidence presented here fails to support the claim. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

How do the three customers differ in their habits or ways of doing things?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Investigation

Explanation:

Through investigation, it was discovered that Customer C killed Fannin. The first piece of evidence that proves that Customer C killed Fannin is that his silverware was on the left side of his platter. His coffee cup was ALSO on the left side of his plate. Typically, if the silverware and cups are placed on the left-hand side of the plate, it means that the diner is left-handed. The conclusion can be drawn that C is left-handed. The second piece of evidence that proves that Customer C killed Fannin is that there was a right handprint on the wall. As a rule, if there is a right handprint on the wall, the shooter pulled the trigger with his left hand. Since C is left-handed, it can be drawn that he/she pulled the trigger. The final piece of evidence that points to C as the murderer is that

1. The plane ........
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

We will tell…” is actually using the modal verb will/would in a present time sense or a future time sense therefore the present tense /arrives/ is the only choice that matches in grammar. …will tell = We are using our will [right now] to decide what we shall say when he arrives.

Other Possibilities:

1. We will tell him about it after he has arrived.

2. We would have told him about it after he had arrived.
