Answer:
The position states a point of view that disagrees with Aristotle's.
Explanation:
The position, or claim, is a statement that contains how the writers feels on the topic, not an introduction to the topic itself, so the first answer is incorrect and can be eliminated.
The introduction begins with presenting Aristotle's point of view on having many friends; however, this isn't the writer's view, as they claim that Aristotle's point isn't valid in sentence 3. Since there is a position present <em>and</em><em> </em>it disagrees with Aristotle's, the second and fifth answers are incorrect and the third answer, being the opposite of the second, is correct.
The writer simply asserts that it is possible to have a large number of true friends, but doesn't present any reasons why this is true (extroverts are better at making friends, one simply needs to put a little more work into their friendships, etc.). Therefore, the fourth answer is incorrect.
The theme is the message that an author is trying to get his or her readers to understand. For example, in the Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus, the theme was "don't be prideful". Because Icarus and Daedalus violated this by trying to act like the gods, they were punished: Icarus fell into the ocean and drowned.
Answer:
The more parents read to their children, the higher their children score on achievement tests. This relationship between parents reading to their children and child achievement represents a positive correlation.
Explanation:
Correlations can take two different ways or directions, positive and negative, and they consist of two variables. When a positive correlation takes place, both variables move towards the same point. On the other hand, when negative correlation takes place, these move in opposite ways, meaning that while one of the variables goes up, the other goes down, and vice versa.
