Read this paragraph and answer the question that follows. Emily Dickinson wrote, "Success is counted sweetest, by those who n'er

succeed." This poem evaluates success through the eyes of a dying soldier. Dickinson claims that success is measured best by those who, in the eyes of others, don't succeed. The dying soldier has a deeper understanding of and appreciation for victory than the soldier coming home in triumph. In this frame of mind, then, success isn't about things- the big house, the fancy car, the luxury vacations and the accumulation of wealth. Rather, success is about sacrifice and appreciation. Success is about giving everything you have for something you passionately believe in, even if what you give comes without the rewards of victory. Success is about passion. Successful people use their passion for innovation, education, public service, or entrepreneurship to drive them forward. Which of the following sentences would be the best topic sentence for this paragraph?
a.) success is; first and foremost, about the passion that motivates a person
b.) understanding the true definition of success is the first step in being successful
c.) the first step in being successsful is to developea willungness to sacrifice for what you're doing
d.) Emily Dickson had a deep understanding of the true meaning of successs, as evidenxe by her poetry ​

Answer:

A

Explanation:

I'm not an expert on this, but I think A is the most suitable answer in this case because the example mentioned demonstrates that the soldier, being in very troubling circumstances, has a passion that helps him understand that success is not defined by literal triumph, material gain, etc, but from his perseverance.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The first sentence if modified can make the paragraph into a stronger argumentative speech.

Explanation:

Current opening sentence: Genetically modified foods unequally benefit rich countries, including the United States.

Revised opening sentence: Rich countries including the United States currently enjoy more benefits from the production and sale of Genetically Modified Foods than developing nations.  

So the complete paragraph looks like this:

<em>Rich countries including the United States currently enjoy more benefits from the production and sale of Genetically Modified Foods than developing nations. The USDA reports that the US gained the vast majority of the total world benefit from new herbicide-tolerant soybeans in 1997. In addition, the US company that created the soybeans charged farmers a technology fee. These high adoption costs will continue to limit the benefits of genetically modified crops to rich countries that do not need the higher yields, rather than extending them to poorer nations that do.</em>

<em />

In revising the first paragraph, we are able to go in with a stronger argument or hook which is critical to an argumentative essay.

Cheers

<em />
