Answer:

A) Malapropism

Explanation:

A malapropism is the use of an incorrect word in the place of a correct word with a similar sound. This usually results in comical or nonsensical statements. Malapropisms can happen by mistake in natural speech, but they are also common as jokes and humorous utterances in comedy and literature. The name comes from the character of Mrs. Malaprop, from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play <em>The Rivals</em>.

What does albatross symbolize? I need a paragraph
olga_2 [115]
An albatross symbolizes a dead weight, or a burden (emotionally, obviously).  The origin of this stems from the belief that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to sailors, most popularly from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where an albatross is hung from the neck of a sailor who killed it.  Some may consider obstacles they struggle to overcome to be an albatross, or even themselves if they feel that they are 'weighing others down', in a sense.  Inversely though, albatrosses can also mean good luck, although this is used less commonly than the former.

What are the three goals of a thesis
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

A thesis statement makes a promise to the reader about the scope, purpose, and direction of the paper. It summarizes the conclusions that the writer has reached about the topic. A thesis statement is generally located near the end of the introduction.

Explanation:

The thesis statement has 3 main parts: the limited subject, the precise opinion, and the blueprint of reasons. The limited subject tells the reader exactly on what, or whom the article focuses. The precise opinion gives your answer to a question about the subject.
