<span>C) [A]nd when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward would reply.

Irony is when something is stated but it actually means the opposite. In this case Joy's name means happy, energetic, and positive. However, she is described as having ugly remarks and a glum face. Her behavior is not indicative of a joyous person as her name suggests she is. </span>

Using the best thesis statement listed below to compose an outline with three major supporting details and two minor supporting

FinnZ [79.3K]

A thesis statement should tell the reader what the paper is about and also help guide the writing and keep the argument focused. In this paragraph, the best thesis statement is, "Time Management will give you the opportunity to have a non-complicated in your life, focusing on your life."

Thesis: "Time Management will give you the opportunity to have a non-complicated in your life, focusing on your life."

1. No worries

Get a good night's sleep
Start the day with vitality

2. Have set goals

daily schedule- respect time frames for each activity
not in a hurry

3. Planning

Can check your goals in writing
Able to add reminders to keep on with the goals' accomplishment

The paragraph is short, so the main points made are the three major supporting details. Then, using additional points from the paragraph, you can find minor supporting detail for each major supporting detail. The answer could vary slightly depending on one's interpretation of what is the most important in the paragraph, but generally these are the main ideas.

Note: I believe there may be a word missing in the thesis or the first sentence of the paragraph, after non-complicated and before in.

Imagine that you think someone close to you, such as a friend or family member, nas mental illness . How do you think you would

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

I would suggest encouraging them to seek out a psychologist. Whatever happens, make sure that you talk to this individual about their mental illness in a way that lets them know they are valid, that you understand their pain, and that they are NOT crazy or insane. If they need to talk, don't shut them down or invalidate their feelings in any way, such as saying "everyone feels like that at some point or another." Although that kind of comment may seem comforting to you, it makes the individual feel misunderstood and hurt. And if they don't want to talk, don't force them, but make sure they know that it is safe to talk to you, and you will not judge them or condemn them in any way. Let this person know you care about them. Good luck, and as a person with a mental illness, feel free to DM me if you have any further questions throughout the process.
