After reading the passage from a speech given in 1872, we can choose the following statement as the one directly expressing the author's thesis:

D. "[R]eal excellence often comes unheralded and from unexpected quarters." (paragraph 1, sentence 5)

<h3>What is a thesis statement?</h3>
  • A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences that inform the reader of the author's opinion and of what idea will be developed in the text. The thesis also guides the author, so that she will not lose sight of her purpose with the text.

<h3>Where is the thesis in the passage?</h3>
  • As usual, the thesis statement can be found at the end of the first paragraph. This passage is no exception. The thesis is the last sentence of paragraph 1, shown in option D.
  • According to this thesis, the author will discuss how some people, although not perceived as special or as geniuses, can often achieve great success and excellence.

The complete passage is attached.

Which choice best describes the overall structure of the author's argument about paying college student athletes?
Scrat [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the article or the text. You also forgot to include the name of the author or the title of the article.

Without the text, we do not know what is its content. Just you know.

However, trying to offer some help, we can comment on the following.

Recently, authors have divided their opinions about the advantages or disadvantages of paying college student-athletes.

The ones who are in favor of paying athletes argue that schools receive a lot of money due to TV agreements, ticket sales, merchandising, and concessions. That is why they deserve a "slice of the pie."

On the other hand, the authors that disagree and still consider that college athletes are amateurs, support their arguments saying that they are students, and the way they are receiving compensation is through their scholarships. And these authors say that schools invest a lot of money not only in academics but in facilities and equipment to have their athletes ready to compete and win.
