Tems11 [23]
The correct answers are A. An arguable thesis statement and C. A detailed summary of "The Raven"

Explanation:
An analysis paper is usually an academical paper in which the purpose is to carefully explore, analyze and even evaluate some literary work, film, program, proposal among others. Similar to essays analysis papers are usually guided by the main claim or thesis statement in which the author states his/her position in relation to the work that will be analyzed and that guides the paper, as all the information provided in it should support the thesis statement. Additionally to this a summary and context of the work being analyzed should be included to inform and contextualize the reader about the object of analysis, thus, if the analysis paper focuses on "The Raven" by Poe, it is necessary to provide the reader with a detailed summary of what is this poem about and the features of it. Thus, it is necessary for this type of paper to have an arguable thesis, this means a clear position that can be supported and a detailed summary of the work to be analyzed that in this case is "The Raven"
