Answer:
Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay?
3. Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.
Which revision would add supporting evidence to best strengthen Jason's claim?
2. Add this sentence to the above excerpt: Studies suggest that saving a few keystrokes can both reduce stress and lead to more productivity.
Explanation:
For the first question, we must first understand what Jason's claim is. That can be found at the end of his introductory paragraph:
"Internet slang is a manifestation of two more serious problems with modern society - intellectual laziness and too little time."
Now, we must find a sentence to introduce a counterargument. A counterargument is an idea that opposes the argument.<u> The argument claims that internet slang usage is a problem. The counterargument must state the contrary. The sentence that does that is number 3: "Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use." This sentence is basically stating that internet slang is not a problem.</u>
For the second question, we need to choose the option the adds supporting evidence to the excerpt. In other words, we choose the option that agrees with and complements the excerpt. <u>The excerpt states that slang makes communication easier. The only option that agrees with that is number 2. </u>All the other options offer information or present ideas that go against that opinion. <u>Sentence 2,</u> however,<u> explains that slang makes communication less stressful.</u>
I personally am not 100% sure but my guess would be SAID as it is the only word showing an action.
The point of view in literature is the angle from which the story is being narrated. The most common are the first and third person points of view.
If it's being told from the first person point of view (POV), then the pronouns "I" or "we" will be used to tell the story. If it's from the third person POV, the story will use the pronouns "he", "she", "it", "them", or the main character's name. And finally, the second person POV narrates with the pronoun "you", inserting the reader in the story.
In the case of Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different, the author Karen Blumenthal tells his biography by using his name and "he" pronouns. For example, the opening sentence says "<em>Steve Jobs's first story involved connecting dots, and it began with a most unusual promise</em>". Therefore, the point of view used to tell this story is the third person.
