Do you have a pic? So I can answer it
I tried to avert her attention from the television by asking her to help me with my homework.
You should map out what you are going to write about in your body paragraphs (pre-writing, outline, four-square). What are the main points in each paragraph that could help you to form the statement? Once you have that, it should make writing the thesis statement a bit easier. If this is just a general overview, you could write something like, "Tchaikovsky's composition was shaped by many events that occurred early in life, during his adult life, and long after he passed away." Again, it would largely depend on what you want your reader to know about the paragraphs they are about to read.
it means a general statement or concept obtained by inference from specific cases.
Hello!
In the first excerpt, I'm assuming that the underlined word that you are unsure of its meaning is cloy'd. This word means excessive sweetness, so the correct answer is C. overly sentimental.
In the second excerpt, the word we're looking for is probably half-impaired. Impaired means weakened, or damaged, so the correct answer is A. partially damaged.
In the third excerpt, the unknown word is loth, which means unwilling to do something, so the correct answer is B. reluctant or unwilling.
Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
