Of the manatees, our river guide said simply:  "They are a disappearing breed plz mark brainliest.

The correct is the first one.

The use of colon after "said simply" is to make sure that you understand that everything after the colon is what the guide says. It is reinforced by the use of quotation marks. The comma in the beginning is used to add the correct pause to an oddly, but correctly, structured frase. Otherwise, "of the manateers" would have to come after the quotation, but the author wanted you to know who the guide was talking about beforehand.

On the second option, the comma before "simply" is incorrectly placed.

The third option has "simply" after the colon and before the quotation marks, being very weirdly, and incorrectly, placed.

The forth option doesn't even put a comma before the quotation mark, making the pace weird. Also, the colon is misplaced.

The correct answer is:

Of the manatees, our river guide said simply: "They are a disappearing breed."

Determine whether each thesis statement is weak or strong.

A] The number of homeless citizens  in the United States has recently  increased.

B] Smoking should be outlawed because  it causes many health problems, such  as breathlessness and lung disease.

C] The jeans industry targets its  advertisements to appeal to  young adults.

D] The invention of vaccinations has  had a major effect on humans by  wiping out a number of deadly  diseases.

Explanation:

The correct answers are:

A] The number of homeless citizens  in the United States has recently  increased.  Weak thesis Statement

B] Smoking should be outlawed because  it causes many health problems, such  as breathlessness and lung disease. Strong thesis Statement

C] The jeans industry targets its  advertisements to appeal to  young adults. Weak thesis Statement

D] The invention of vaccinations has  had a major effect on humans by  wiping out a number of deadly  diseases. Strong thesis Statement

A Strong thesis Statement demonstrates a clear and precise idea. The topic will be easily identified and will not lead to confusion.

A Weak thesis Statement is vague and confusing, it is not clear what is the main topic the article is dealing with.
