What are the five features of a thesis statement?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

  • States what you are going to argue or believe in.
  • Distinguishes a well thought out paper from a mere retelling of facts and events.
  • Helps you stay focused throughout the writing process
  • It should be clear and focused
  • It should be arguable (that is, if an expert wanted to read your paper, they could argue why your thesis statement may not necessarily be correct.)
  • It should reflect your position on a topic.
  • Will the reader ask questions like “why?” or “How?”
  • Can the reader ask “So what?”, “Who cares?”
  • Can an expert say something like “No way!” ?
  • Is it clear to the reader what major points you are going to make?

Read the passage and answer the question. [1620] . . . so as there died sometimes two or three of a day, in the foresaid time; t
Elenna [48]
Most of the above passage includes descriptions of the tasks that the caretakers did for the sick, but if you look where Bradford first mentions those caretakers, you can see just how he feels about them. This phrase, "there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health" holds the key. If you look closely at this phrase, Bradford describes how many people acted as caretakers (six or seven) and includes a single word, "commendations," that means praise. To suggests they deserve "great commendations" tells the reader that Bradford feels like these caretakers deserve the highest praise for what they do. My answer, then, would be the word "commendations."
