Exercise 1

My neighbor - subject

is - present tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

uncommonly - adverbial

thrifty - subject complement (adjective)

2. The Oldsmobile was on its last legs

The Oldsmobile - subject

was - past tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

on its last legs - adverbial

3. Celia is the CEO of a large multinational corporation.

Celia - subject

is - present tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

the CEO of a large multinational corporation - subject complement (noun phrase)

4. The last performance of Death of a Salesman was on Friday.

on Friday - adverbial

5. The plumber will be here soon.

The plumber - subject

will be - future tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

here - adverbial

soon - adverbial

Exercise 2

1. The taxi driver seemed like a nice man.

The taxi driver - subject

like a nice man - subject complement (noun phrase)

2. The inside of the bakery smells delicious.

The inside of the bakery - subject

delicious - subject complement (adjective)

3. On that day, Francis became a criminal.

On that day - adverbial

Francis - subject

became - linking verb (past tense)

a criminal - subject complement (noun phrase)

4. It sounds like a good idea!

It - subject

like a good idea - subject complement (noun phrase)

5. Ms. Yeziersky became a schoolteacher.

Ms. Yeziersky - subject

became - linking verb (past tense)

a schoolteacher - subject complement (noun phrase)

In all examples, we have an equation:

subject = noun phrase (what?)

               adjective (how?)

               adverbial (when? where? how? etc.)

To define if a subject complement is a noun phrase or an adjective, we always think of the main word:

like a nice man (noun phrase because everything modifies the noun MAN)

uncommonly thrifty (<em>uncommonly</em> modifies <em>thrifty</em> so it is an adjective).

The subject of this paper is my experience with ferrets as pets. 2. The government must expand its funding for research on renew
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Below is the classification into strong and weak thesis statements. The weak thesis statements are revised in order to conform to the requirements of a strong thesis statement:

1. The subject of this paper is my experience with ferrets as pets.

The thesis statement is weak. It tends to leave the reader hanging and fails to identify the main objectives of the essay.

Revised: Ferrets as pets can be an exciting experience, here are my view points on that.

2.The government must expand its funding for research on renewable energy resources in order to prepare for the impending end of oil.

This thesis statement is strong. It gives further clarification on what the government should do to prepare for the impending end of oil.

3. Edgar Allan Poe was a poet who lived in Baltimore during the nineteenth century.

This thesis statement is strong. It brings the reader to an understanding of where Edgar Allan Poe lived in the nineteenth century. The reader is not left confused.

4. In this essay, I will give you lots of reasons why slot machines should not be legalized in Baltimore.

This thesis statement is weak. It is using unpredictable words e.g "lots" without being specific.

Revised: Within this essay, I will explain the reasons why slot machines should not be legalized in Baltimore.

Explanation:

When writing thesis statement, one must note that it should not be confusing and hard to understand.

A weak thesis statement usually contains obvious facts and things that no one can disagree with. A strong thesis doesn't have that.

Some weak thesis lead to a dead end thereby confusing the reader.

That's why it's important to revise weak thesis statements.

Revision of weak thesis statements helps to strengthen that thesis and make it align with what has been expressed in the body of the paper.
