Answer:

"As she laughed to herself" is a dependent clause, meaning it cannot stand alone. It needs to be added to an independent clause to be considered a sentence. By adding it to sentence 5, it modifies how Jenna reacted to the situation. There are two ways to add a dependent clause to an independent clause. When you add the dependent clause to the end of the independent clause, like the sentence in the correct answer choice, you do not need a comma to separate the clauses. The word "as" shows the separation in clauses. You can also put the dependent clause before the independent clause and separate them with a comma.

A.

It is a first-person voice, which can be seen on the use of first-person pronouns from the beginning through the end.

B.

The speaker presents as civillian and the poem adresses a soldier. This can be seen both in the poem and in the title of it.

C.

Not only tries to conserve the same rhythm and meter by linking the end of a verse with the following, it also emphasizes a phrase or word and shows the relation of the phrase or word to what has gone before (almost like sentence diagramming). This adds richness to the poem and its images, like in the first indentation between ‘quarrel’ and ‘stood still’.

D.

That image of shooting but shooting ‘goods’, food and comfort, produces an effect of surprise, of slight shock due to the inversion: in this case, the civillian does the shooting, not the soldier. The image is unexpected, but it also further describes this civillian by describing the items that are going to be shot: items that are tied to life, they can prolonge life (it’s food) and not end it, like bullets.

E.

The question poised at the end can be read as being ‘shot’ by the civillian to both the soldier and also the reader. The question proposes a reflection about war, about what is the purpose or intent of it, what is the ulterior meaning behind it. Can a soldier find meaning on it? Can a civillian do it? The decision of ending with a question ties to this idea of keeping the poem open and alive in the memory of its readers, instead of a firm or concrete affimartion.

F.

The poet finds war to be something incomprehensible, something that doesn’t make sense or have a real meaning behind it. It’s senseless, it is “impartial death”, “confusion” and incomprehensible to both the civillians and the soldiers. While the poet has this attitude about war, it shows empathy and consideration for the soldier, for its “plight”, as one can see at the end. The poet has hope and wants the soldier (and the reader by extent) to reflect on war, to form a sort of empathy link with the civillian(s).

C] The jeans industry targets its  advertisements to appeal to  young adults.

D] The invention of vaccinations has  had a major effect on humans by  wiping out a number of deadly  diseases.

Explanation:

The correct answers are:

A] The number of homeless citizens  in the United States has recently  increased.  Weak thesis Statement

B] Smoking should be outlawed because  it causes many health problems, such  as breathlessness and lung disease. Strong thesis Statement

C] The jeans industry targets its  advertisements to appeal to  young adults. Weak thesis Statement

D] The invention of vaccinations has  had a major effect on humans by  wiping out a number of deadly  diseases. Strong thesis Statement

A Strong thesis Statement demonstrates a clear and precise idea. The topic will be easily identified and will not lead to confusion.

A Weak thesis Statement is vague and confusing, it is not clear what is the main topic the article is dealing with.
