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.

How can you use a vocabulary notebook to practice the meaning of new words?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Your vocabulary notebook can be used to practice the meaning of new words everyday. When you find words, you can add them in your notebook, write the definition, and the synonyms/antonyms. Let's just say you want to revisit a word because you didn't know its meaning. You then would turn to the page in your notebook and review it.

1. Try to figure out the definition by looking at its prefixes and suffixes.

2. Write the words from a textbook's glossary, and write it down in the notebook.

3. You write synonyms and the antonyms for each of your words.

How cultural different are Ukrainian and Canadians?
timama [110]

Answer:

Ukrainians tend to be more physical when communicating with each other or with foreigners. A pat on shoulder, a hug, a kiss on a cheek are the acceptable norms of communication among friends or close acquaintances.

Eye contact is less important and it is considered rude to keep staring at someone. However, avoidance of making an eye contact when speaking to someone may be regarded as a sign of dishonesty or shyness. Ukrainians use physical gestures and are generally more animated while speaking or making a presentation.

Canadian Perspective:

Both verbal and non-verbal communication play a large role in communication styles as do direct and indirect communication styles.  Men tend to be more direct in their communication than women and expect that of other men.  Women are generally more non-verbal and indirect when speaking to strangers or colleagues.  It should be noted that smiling is also not a typical form of communication in Ukraine and is generally reserved for family and friends in a social setting.
