Question

Tim is writing an essay on the Chicago fire of 1871, and his thesis statement is below.

Answer 1

Answer:

 The correct answer is option D.“When they heard Box 342 rung, however, they assumed the fire was out of their territory and unhitched the horses. Only two fire companies were not fooled by the misleading alarm.”

Explanation:

The thesis statement expresses a position on the subject of the text and that answers the question that, as an author, you work on your writing. In other words, it is the position that is defended through arguments to persuade or convince the reader.

The argumentative body constitutes the argumentation itself: the contribution of all kinds of reasoning that allows the author to convince the addressee. These reasons that the author uses to support his thesis are called arguments and with them the author intends to cause the receiver to adhere in some way to his thesis. This adherence can be sometimes intellectual and other times sentimental. Thus, we distinguish rational arguments and affective arguments.

In this case, the option that best supports the thesis statement is option D.
