Answer:

C) This is Twain's thesis and serves to introduce all claims that follow.

Explanation:

According to a different source, the sentence this question refers to is:

"Perhaps the most celebrated turning-point recorded in history was the crossing of the Rubicon."

This sentence comes from the essay "The Turning Point in My Life." This is an essay by Mark Twain in which he discusses the importance of "turning points." These are moments in a person's life in which everything changes. In this essay, his main purpose is that of comparing his own turning points to the crossing of the Rubicon by Caesar, and thus develop the main idea of the essay.

(1) The umbrella dates back more than 3,000 years to Mesopotamia. (2) That ancient land was located in the Middle East. (3) The
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter B.

Explanation:

Our purpose is to combine sentences 8 and 9 from the excerpt:

<em>(8) Umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra. </em>

<em>(9) Umbra means “shade.”</em>

Since the noun "umbra" appears in both sentences and functions as the subject in the second one, an effective way to connect the sentences would be by substituting the repeated word for a relative pronoun. Since "umbra" does not refer to a person, we may eliminate the relative pronoun "who" and choose between "that" and "which". Option B does precisely that: it uses the pronoun "which" to substitute "umbra" and connect the sentences:

b. Umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra, which means “shade.”
