Answer:

The sentence which possesses a tone that would be most appealing to a professor is:

d. Please allow me the opportunity to argue for a better grade.

Explanation:

A situation such as this, in which you need to address someone who is hierarchically superior to you and who has the power to change something that affects you, demands a certain type of tone and style. Since this refers to you addressing a professor, we can assume the use of formal language will be seen in more of a positive light. But that is not all. Politeness and diplomacy are also crucial. Take a look at option B, for instance. Even though the language is fine, it lacks diplomacy. It accuses the professor of having been sloppy, which will most likely offend him.

<u>The best option is letter D. It uses formal language, and the sentence itself is polite, without any unnecessary assumptions or accusations.</u>

In the diagram of the five-paragraph essay, what do the two arrows indicate?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A. the positions of the thesis statement

Explanation:

  What mainly gives it away for me is the arrow at the bottom of the triangle near the top. You <em>usually</em> want to end your topic paragraph with your thesis. Then, you restate it in the beginning of your conclusion followed by a summary and finishing up your essay in the last paragraph.

Let us look at the other options.

     B. the positions of the hook sentences

-> Why would you want to hook your readers at the end of your intro paragraph, or even at the end of your essay? This option doesn't make sense.

     C. the positions of the topic sentences

-> This is another good option, but the topic statement is very similar to the thesis, but they are usually the start of your <em>body</em> paragraphs.

     D. the positions of the introductions

-> Why would you have an introduction at the end of your paragraph? This option also doesn't make sense.

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

wolverine [178]

Firatly, the incident of an African American player that was not allowed to stay with his fellow white players in same hotel was an experience that prompted him to raise up to the aim of ending segregation. The argument he had with the hotel staff finally lead to the said player being allowed to stay with the team.

Secondaly, due to the untapped potential of skin coloured people was enormous and he was not confortable skipping them on account of that particular reason. The player who could be able to broke the color barrier would be subjected to jeers, abuse, threats, even assaults. He is so convinced that Jackie Robison would remained dignified in the face of all these, hence the reason he choose him.

Anne Bradstreet suffered from poor health for much of her life. Read the poem "Deliverance from a Fit of Fainting," then answer
Mrrafil [7]
The correct option is B.
In the first stanza, the author prayed like this: 'My sinking heart I pray thee raise, so shall give it thee. What the author was praying for in essence is that God should raise her sinking heart, so that she can praise Him. That is, she was asking God to lift her spirit so that she can give him praise.
