Answer: 1. He feels and behaves depressed and regretful about his past actions and thoughts. 2. The thought of his "dear friend" compensates his losses and his sorrow ends. 3. Because by changing his tone he makes emphasis the fact that his "dear friend" was indeed the light of his life.
Explanation: Shakespeare conveys a very sad and depressing message in the sonnet, regretting how he failed to achieve his goals, wasted the best years of his life, and crying over the loss of his friends. We can see this in the following lines: "I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, then can I drown an eye, and with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.
Nevertheless, in the lines "But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd and sorrows end", he acknowledges his "dear friend", and the sonnet makes a twist. He emphasizes that thinking of this person relieves all his guilt and pain, making then, a tribute to them.
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>
