Select the correct answer which elements should be part of the thesis statement for a research paper a your observations about the topic be statistics to support your details Siri questions you have about your topic de antidotes that relate to the subject
Answer:
a. your observations about the topic.
Explanation:
A thesis statement is a short statement giving your ideas or take on the claim that you are making in the thesis. It is a summarized version stating the main idea of the paper and your views on it.
A thesis statement of any literary or academic paper contains just a few sentences that contain the main ideas dealt or made in the whole thesis. This statement/ section is a form of asserting one's position in the claim made, making one's position clear to the readers and what the whole paper deals with. Thus, the one element that will be a part of a thesis statement must be one's observations about the thesis topic.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
1. Read the short personal essay by George Orwell.2. Answer the following questions. _How are the Europeans presented in this story? What are they like?_How are the Burmese presented? what are they like? _who do you empathize the most with? _ Describe the presence of prejudice and racism in the story events as well as Orwell's narration(wording choice).
Answer:
"Shooting an Elephant"
The Europeans are presented as imperialists who think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the natives, whom they think they dominate. The Europeans are described like masked people who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices.
The Burmese are presented as idle, idiotic, and lacking the coercive power necessary to be in obvious control of their lives, especially since they have no physical weapons. However, what they lack in physical weapons, they possess in abundance with the power of the will. This implies that their lack of physical weapons does not make them powerless in the real sense. They have will. With it, they control the Europeans who weld physical power.
I empathize mostly with the Europeans. Their portrayal by George Orwell is very sympathetic. By trying to impose their authority on others, they limit their ability to even control their own lives. They must dance to the music of the crowd because of the expectations placed on them by the natives. The same is true of all rulers who have refused to embrace leadership principles, thinking that they are in charge of the people, not realizing that it is the people that control them with their crowd expectations.
Europeans are not accepted by others. Europeans do not accept others. Each tribe thinks highly of themselves and belittles the others. But, we are all human beings, created in God’s image and likeness. The moment we overcome our prejudices, it is the same moment that we are liberated to fulfil God’s mandate, “to exercise dominion over the earth.” This dominion is not the domination of other people, but the dominion of the elements that make up the earth, the forces, and the evils that attempt to take over the earth that God has created for the welfare of human beings. We must collaborate, cherish each other, and find joy in our diversity as humans. We must act together in love. Conclusively, George Orwell’s observation is true of all human beings, “when the white man (read, “any class of humanity”) turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys.”
Explanation:
George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a police officer in Burma. In it, he denounces British imperialism as lacking common sense. Europeans are made a laughing stock of by the natives they try to rule. According to George Orwell, Imperialism and colonialism are evil as no good has come from the imposition of another's will on others.

:
The vapour pressure of pure benzene at a certain temperature is 0.850 bar. A non volatile, non electrolyte solid weighing 0.5 g is added to 39.0g of benzene. The vapour pressure of the solution then is 0.845 bar. What is the molecular mass of the solid substance
Answer:
The molar mass is 169g / mol.
Explanation:
To achieve this result you must consider the formula:
[(pº-p) / pº] = [na / (na + nb)]
This formula should be replaced by the values shown in the question as follows:
pº = 0.850 bar
p = 0.845 bar
To find the values of "na" and "nb", we will consider that the letter "m" represents the molecular mass of benzene that is equal to 78, so we have:
na = 0.5 / m; nb = 39/78 = 0.5
Now we can replace all values in the formula:
0.850-0.845 / 0.850 = (0.5 / m) / (0.5 / m) +0.5 =
0.5 / (0.5 = 0.5m) =
1/1 + m =
m = 0.850 / 0.005 - 1 = 169g / mol

What does this selection suggest Jimmy’s next step will be?
The correct answer is D. He will go back to his criminal ways

Answer:
burthen - meaning, weight, or significance
recompence - reward
loon - a silly of foolish person
rill - a small stream
measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music
Explanation:
Burthen is an archaic form of spelling "burden". When we think of a burden, we think of something heavy, difficult to carry around. Therefore, burthen means "weight"
Recompence is more commonly spelled "recompense" nowadays. It is the same as reward.
A loon is a foolish or silly person. We can think of a "loony", a crazy or silly person, someone who does not think or see things the way others do.
A rill is, by definition, a small stream or brook. There is not much we can add here.
Finally, measure refers to the rhythm of a poem or a piece of music. We commonly refer to it by "meter" or simply "rhythm", depending on what we mean.

Choose a stanza from any poem, including those in this lesson. Write a paraphrase of those lines. Then compare the original stanza with the paraphrase. What has changed in the transition from poetry to prose?
Answer:
I love to write
Day and night
What would my heart do
But cry, sigh, and be blue
If I could not write
Paraphrase:
The (writer) loves to write! The writer would be very sad if they weren't able to write.
Comparison: While the Poem rhymes and used descriptive words to tell how sad the writer would be if they couldn't write (cry, sigh, be blue) the paraphrase just states clearly and simply the interpretation of the stanza.
Answer:
Here is the second stanza of "The Sparrow":
So birds of peace and hope and love
Come fluttering earthward from above,
To settle on life's window-sills,
And ease our load of earthly ills;
But we, in traffic's rush and din
Too deep engaged to let them in,
With deadened heart and sense plod on,
Nor know our loss till they are gone.
And here is a paraphrase of the stanza:
Peace, hope, and love are like birds that come fluttering down and sit upon our window sills. They try to draw our attention, but we ignore them because our lives are busy. We fail to notice that these elements are missing from our lives, but we regret that failure only when we realize that we have lost them.
The paraphrase does not have the same effect as the poem because it does not use the sound devices. It sounds like a flat statement of facts. However, the ideas gain clarity in the paraphrase.

Question 2 of 10
Why were meter and alliteration important poetic devices to 14th century
poets?
A. They helped poems stand out from others.
B. They lengthened the lines on the page.
C. They simulated natural conversation.
D. They made poems easier to memorize.
SUBMIT
The correct answer is D. They made poems easier to memorize.
Explanation:
In poems, alliteration refers to using words with the same consonant sound in a verse or multiple verses. This device makes the poem more memorable or easy to remember as the repetition forms a sound pattern. Also, by remembering which consonant sound is repeated it is easy to remember the words of each verse. Similarly, the use of the meter or a specific structure of verses (number of syllables in each verse and organization of stressed/unstressed syllables) makes the poem to be predictable and easy to remember. Moreover, these two features were more commonly used in poems during the 14th and 15th centuries as in this way the audience could better remember poems.

What is a pronoun?Pronouns are words or groups of words that can be used in place of nouns or noun phrases in grammar and linguistics. Since pronouns serve so many different cross-linguistic purposes, several current theorists disagree with the conventional idea that they belong to the same class as other components of speech. "You" is a pronoun that can be used in either the single or plural form.
Personal and possessive pronouns, reciprocal and reflexive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, relative and interrogative pronouns, and indefinite pronouns are some of the subtypes. Pronoun use frequently incorporates anaphora, in which the pronoun's meaning is based on an antecedent. A "pronominal" is the name of the adjective that goes with a "pronoun."
