Hello, I am BrotherEye

Answer:

Introductions and conclusions are important components of any essay. They work to book-end the argument made in the body paragraphs by first explaining what points will be made (in the introduction) and then summarizing what points were made (in the conclusion).

The Five-Paragraph

Essay

#

Select from the following

A classic format for compositions is the five-paragraph essay. It is not the only format for writing an essay, of course, but it is a useful model for you to keep in mind, especially as you begin to develop your composition skills. The following material is adapted from a handout prepared by Harry Livermore for his high school English classes at Cook High School in Adel, Georgia. It is used here with his permission.

Introduction:

Introductory Paragraph

See, first, Writing Introductory Paragraphs for different ways of getting your reader involved in your essay. The introductory paragraph should also include the thesis statement, a kind of mini-outline for the paper: it tells the reader what the essay is about. The last sentence of this paragraph must also contain a transitional "hook" which moves the reader to the first paragraph of the body of the paper.

Body:

Body — First paragraph:

The first paragraph of the body should contain the strongest argument, most significant example, cleverest illustration, or an obvious beginning point. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the "reverse hook" which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the introductory paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the second paragraph of the body.

Body — Second paragraph:

The second paragraph of the body should contain the second strongest argument, second most significant example, second cleverest illustration, or an obvious follow up the first paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the first paragraph of the body. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the third paragraph of the body.

Body — Third paragraph:

The third paragraph of the body should contain the weakest argument, weakest example, weakest illustration, or an obvious follow up to the second paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the second paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional concluding hook that signals the reader that this is the final major point being made in this paper. This hook also leads into the last, or concluding, paragraph.

Conclusion:

Concluding paragraph:

#This paragraph should include the following:

an allusion to the pattern used in the introductory paragraph,

a restatement of the thesis statement, using some of the original language or language that "echoes" the original language. (The restatement, however, must not be a duplicate thesis statement.)

a summary of the three main points from the body of the paper.

a final statement that gives the reader signals that the discussion has come to an end. (This final statement may be a "call to action" in an persuasive paper.)

Best Of Luck!

svetoff [14.1K]

The answer is:

Capulet compels Paris to wait two years to seek Juliet’s consent to marry.

In the excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet," by William Shakespeare, Lord Capulet  discourages Paris from marrying Juliet too quickly because she has not reached the age of fourteen yet. Thus, he claims that Paris must wait two years before giving his permission to marry her, even though Paris insists that younger girls than Juliet often get married and become mothers.

What is the correct way to write this sentence? To prove he is right Goha fakes his death." A.To prove he is right, Goha fakes h
Andrews [41]

Answer:

A.To prove he is right, Goha fakes his death.

Explanation:

The correct way to write the sentence, "To prove he is right, Goha fakes his death." is by adding a comma after the dependent clause "to prove be is right" because it not only separates the dependent and independent clause but also adds a pause.

The other options are wrong because a comma has the function of separating items or ideas in a sentence to enhance understanding.

Which answer choice best corrects the misplaced modifier in this sentence?
Anna35 [415]

Answer: D. The lover's initials were carved on the tree.

Explanation:

The modifier in the sentence makes it seem as though lovers were the ones carved on the tree instead of the initials being the ones carved on the tree.

This should be corrected to reflect that the initials were the ones carved on the tree and that they belong to the lovers. Option D gives the best option because in using the possessive ('s), it made it appear that the lovers owned the initials that were carved on the tree.
