This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:
A. The best way to prevent bullying is to keep students off of social media outside of school hours.
B. Schools should have a strong support system in place to help some students cope with the emotional pressures they experience from parents, teachers, and peers.
C. Existing feelings of low self-esteem can make a student more vulnerable to bullying.
D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.
Answer:
The best rebuttal to the counterclaim is:
D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.
Explanation:
A counterclaim is an idea that opposes the claim of an essay or a speech, for example. In this case, the counterclaim is "Bullying is not that important because it does not affect me personally." <u>A rebuttal is an answer to a counterclaim, opposing it. In this instance, the best one is letter D. No one is absolutely immune to bullying and its effects. As studies show, everyone eventually feels insecure and, in some cases, such feeling is harder to manage. Therefore, bullying is important, since it has the power to affect everyone.</u>
The purpose of an adjective clause is using a subject and verb that provide a description of the sentence. Impact allow the reader to understand what is occurring and why it is occurring. Who cause the affects? Or where is it happening?
The correct answer is - The insane live in a reality of their own.
The narrator's reality isn't the same as the old man's reality - this is because the narrator is insane. However, he wasn't always insane - what drew him to madness is the old man's 'eye of a vulture.' He became fascinated with the eye, started hating it so much that he wanted to kill the old man, which he did. After that, his madness didn't go away - it just grew stronger until he admitted his crime.
The correct option is "Volunteering is a good way to make friends, help the community, and feel good."
Parallelism is achieved when the same grammar pattern is used when listing ideas. In this example, the parallel structures are "make friends, help the community and feel good" since they all use the same grammar structure: verb+object.
In the rest of the options, there is a break in the pattern so no parallelism is achived.
