Answer:

c. to support his thesis.

Explanation:

When we write an essay, one of the most important elements that we have to consider is that of establishing a thesis. The thesis is the main idea of a text. It is also the main claim that the author wants to defend in his work. Once we have established a thesis, the author needs to make sure that the evidence he provides supports this thesis. Otherwise, he has no way of demonstrating that his claim is worthy of consideration.

Answer:

D) that will leave readers with something to consider.

Explanation:

Every reader of literature already knows that an interpretation of piece of literature (especially a poem) is just one of many other possible interpretations. When we support one interpretation, our purpose is not eliminate alternative interpretations. We just want the reader to consider our interpretation as well. Hence, we need an evidence to convince the readers that they should consider that particular interpretation as well.

Option A is incorrect, because Robert's main purpose is not to fill two or three pages, but to convince reader of that interpretation.

Option B is incorrect because it is very absurd.

Option C is also incorrect, because Robert's purpose is not to prove that ONLY his interpretation is correct. His purpose is to add one more interpretation to some already existing interpretations.

Answer:

A. Change student's to students'.

Explanation:

In sentence 8, the word <em>student's </em>should be changed to <em>students'</em>. The given text tells about a woman who became a nun and was sent to be a teacher in Calcutta, India. Every teacher has multiple students, and the text doesn't specify that Agnes was concerned about a particular student's education. This leads us to the conclusion that she was concerned about all of her students. The word <em>student's </em>would suggest that she was concerned about one student, while <em>students</em>' suggests that she was concerned about more of them. This is why option A is the correct one.

Like burnt-out torches by sick man's bed <br><br> Which technique is being used
Liono4ka [1.6K]

After doing some online searching, I've found that this question refers to figurative language. It is not an incomplete question, it was just missing the context for people to be able to understand it. Now that I know what it is about, I can safely answer:

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

In the phrase "Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed" we have something being compared to something else. Even though we don't know what it is, we know it is compared to burnt-out torches.<u> The comparison was made with the help of a support word, "like".</u> Its purpose it to attribute one or more qualities of a burnt-out torch to something else by saying they are similar. <u>Comparisons that use support words are called </u><u>simile.</u> They are a very common figure of speech along with metaphors, with the difference that metaphors also make comparisons, but without using support words.
