The author does not include a section exploring counterarguments or a conclusion.
Although there are many notable examples of successful writers who were known—at least in part—for their laziness, examples of people who were successful as a direct result of their diligence abound in a wide range of disciplines. Michael Jordan, for example, is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. During his career, he was known for his unrelenting competitiveness and attention to detail. Among authors, Ray Bradbury was known for writing one short story every week—an astounding rate of production. And many other successful authors have set page quotas and strict schedules for themselves. So, while devaluing productivity may have worked for some, focusing intently on it has worked for many others.
I find my counterargument fairly compelling. The author’s argument mainly consists of anecdotal evidence. It would be compelling if all of the available evidence supported the central claim. But the amount of anecdotal evidence that does not support the claim weakens the author’s argument and strengthens my counterargument.
Answer:
They are compassionate, sympathetic, and worldwide relationships that individuals have.
Explanation:
This is what first prompted Gregor's sister to be compassionate toward him, but because it is a "human" link, she eventually came to the conclusion that he was no longer human and the compassion ceased as well.
It's this line:
"<span>Mr.
Bumble regarded Oliver's piteous and helpless look, with some
astonishment, for a few seconds; hemmed three or four times in a husky
manner; and after muttering something about 'that troublesome cough,'
bade Oliver dry his eyes and be a good boy." (E., the last one of the options)</span>
The look of poor Oliver is so heart-wrenching, that even Mr. Bumble had to stop and turn away for a second to recollect. And because Mr. Bumble shames those that have pity with the poor, in the moment when he feels pity himself he tries to cover his own spontaneous emotional outburst with a flimsy excuse of it being "that troublesome cough".
Answer:
the author's use of clues to hint at what will happen later in the story.
Explanation:
the word "foreshadowing" is a technique used by the writer to give hints or clues about the events that will occur in a story, which help the writer to create expectations on the reader and made the reader feel interested in the literary work.
