Answer:

Idiom

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • allusion
  • apostrophe
  • hyperbole
  • idiom

Idioms are phrases that don't have a literal meaning. This means that we can't conclude what a phrase means based on the meanings of words that make it up. We simply have to learn what these phrases mean.

An example of an idiom is <em>in one ear and out the other</em><em>.</em> This doesn't mean that something enters through one and exits through the other ear. Actually, this expression refers to an instance when someone ignores, dismisses, or forgets something almost immediately after being told. In this case, Dahl's antagonist keeps forgetting Billy's name instantly after hearing it.

Revise the following thesis statements increasing their precision.
Zolol [24]

You can make the thesis statement more precise as follows: Attitudes about parenting have changed in the last 20 years because there has been a need for greater male parental involvement in the care of children.

<h3>Why has the thesis statement become more accurate?</h3>
  • Because the thesis statement specified what happened to paternity.
  • Because the thesis statement presented a second clause that reinforces the first.
  • Because the thesis statement specified what the parents were to do.

The thesis statement is an argument that summarizes the position of the author of a text on a subject that will be addressed in the rest of the text. This argument will dictate the bases for the textual elaboration and must be the main element and the foundation for the secondary arguments.

Because of this importance, the thesis statement must be short, objective, and precise, presenting a complete, specific, and easily understandable thought.
