Answer:
c. a parable uses a story to convey its message; asermon usually doen't.
Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.
So the last one is out.
The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.
I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.
I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.
Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.
Answers 1,23. I could be wrong, so if you have a different answer in mind, go with it.
Answer:
the second option
Explanation:
because there is a list at the end of the sentence we know there has to be a comma. so our only two options are either b or c. but when we look as c we notive there isnt a comma after nature meaning it isnt correct. so b is the best option
Answer: death: well, she’s talking about death metaphorically as if it’s a person. It’s capitalized bc Death is a personification of death represented as a human-like concept.
Best: the capitalized Best is similar to the death. But it’s her intent to tie the concept of the superlative metaphorically to a person. However, the difference is, it’s an actual person not a personification of a concept
Explanation:
The appropriate response is “B. Limited topic.”
A topic sentence is, by definition, a controlling idea, so
we can safely assume “A” is not what is missing because this sentence is a
topic sentence. Because a topic sentence
is generally one of the first sentences in a paragraph, we know it is not
missing a concluding idea because that would appear toward the end of a
paragraph, so we know "C" is not the answer. We can further determine that
support for the main point is not missing from the topic sentence because
support for the main point would appear following the topic sentence within the
body of the paragraph, so we know "D" is not the answer. What is missing,
however, is a limited topic. The way
things currently stand with “Giving holiday gifts can be expensive!” is a bit broad (almost too vague) which means
there is potentially so much that can be covered that anything covered will be
too superficial and underdeveloped. By
limiting the scope and narrowing the topic by, for instance, specifying the
holiday, the types of presents, or the cost, one would be able to provide a
well-developed and focused paragraph.
