The answer is A. Kotowski cites four scholars who specialize in the study of volcanoes, whereas Ferguson cites only the encyclopedia.

The given thesis is arguing that Kotowski is more reliable than Ferguson because he backs up his statements with a greater number of more reliable sources. In choice A, Kotowski is not only using three more sources than Ferguson, but they're sources from reputable specialists, making them higher quality sources as well.

If you're still confused, you can use elimination to rule out the others:

B. B doesn't work because there's no mention of the rate of volcanic change in the thesis. Although the statement may be true, it's not evidence to support the writer's claim.

C. C doesn't work because there's no mention of the frequency of volcanic eruption in the thesis. Again, although the statement may be true, it doesn't necessarily support the writer's claim.

D. D doesn't work because there's no mention of the similarities between the two pieces. If the thesis is arguing that Kotowski's work is different from Ferguson's because it's more reliable, it'd be counterproductive for the writer to mention the similarities of the work. Therefore, this "evidence" has no relation to the thesis and would not support the author's thesis.

Hope this helps!

Imagine you are a bird flying south for the winter. Write a paragraph from your perspective using at least three metaphors.
elena-s [515]
I soar from one area to another, looking down on the unfamiliar creatures below me. These creatures are so ordinary and bizarre! They remain on the ground, never once experiencing the exhilaration of a long flight.
also their communicative style! If something, a noise! Every other minute, the creature's voice sounds completely different from the way it does one minute.

They have eyes, a mouth, and what I assume to be hands and legs. They occasionally approach me quite closely, as if they may hurt me. Once they do, I flee, afraid of their evil plans. The strange creatures build a shelter bigger than the tree itself, unlike the nests we, the birds, manufacture and have. and they placed stuff within it! How amazing!

They frequently leave the house and enter a vehicle, which I believe they refer to as a "car." As I watch the machine move away at a speed that even I can't maintain, I gasp in horror as it comes to life. They occasionally leave some of their food outside, and when it is abandoned I fly over and devour it because their meal is in no way similar to ours.

However, these critters and pests may be unfortunate in that they are unable to fly. They were unable to fly away from their problems.

Kafka believed that his father disapproved of him, the excerpt from "The Metamorphosis" that best suggests that Gregor's father views his son in the same way, is A. you women wouldn't listen. Gregor's mother has just fainted. His father has come back home, and Grete tells him that "Gregor has broken loose". His father misunderstands these words and says that he has warned both women. He understood, by Grete's message that Gregor had committed some violent crime, so it is clear that Gregor's father disapproved of him.
