Answer:
D). The passage fails to make a debatable claim.
Explanation:
The key weakness of the given passage is that 'it fails to establish a debatable claim.' A claim is characterized as debatable when the readers could reasonably argue on different opinions regarding it but here the 'claim regarding the presence of gothic elements' in Hawthorne's 'Scarlett Letter' and Herman Melville's 'Moby-D' is already agreed upon and accepted as a fact. Thus, <u>there remains no point in persuading the readers' to believe in it by comparing the two</u>. Another weakness of this passage is that the evidence presented here fails to support the claim. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
The answer is Aunt Agatha does not consider Bertie's day-to-day activities to be very important.
In the excerpt from "Extricating Young Gussie," by P.G. Wodehouse, the narrator makes clear that Aunt Agatha does not take into account Bertie's daily plans. She is used to controlling everyone in her family and getting away with it.
Answer:
The narrator is presenting the thoughts of Greg Ridley.
The story would have been different if the thoughts of other characters would have been presented as it would have shed light on other areas as well.
Explanation:
'The Treasure of Lemon Brown' is a novel written by Walter Dean Myers. The novel is about Greg Ridley and his meeting with the famous blues singer, Lemon Brown.
The narrative used in the novel is third person limited. This narrative sheds light on the thoughts of limited characters. <u>In the novel 'The Treasure Of Lemon Brown' the narrator has expressed the thoughts of Greg Ridley only</u>.
The setback of this type of narrative is that readers are left to thinking what would be the thoughts of other characters in the text. For instance, in this novel, we do not know what Lemon Brown was feeling. This sets a back-drop on narration as it limits the thoughts of other characters.
The tone can be humorous, enthusiastic and sarcastic.
