Which of the following directions about how to develop an effective thesis statement is false? a. Frame your thesis as a declarative statement. b. A thesis statement should not be written as a question. c. State several central ideas in your thesis statement. d. All of the above are true. Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer:

C. State several central ideas in your thesis statement.

Explanation:

When writing research papers or articles, it is imperative that the problem statement or what the researcher intends to achieve with his research is clearly stated. This gives a sense of direction to the researcher while also enlightening the reader what the research is all about. Therefore, a thesis problem statement is that one sentence which gives the main idea of a research paper or article. The thesis statement should be framed in such a way that it centers on a central idea. Multiple central ideas should be avoided as this may lead to losing track of the main or central research focus.

Answer:

C) State several central ideas in your thesis statement.

Select the correct text in the passage. In this excerpt from Anita Desai's short story "Games at Twilight," which three sentences suggest that the children had completely forgotten about Ravi? With a whimper he burst through the crack, fell on his knees, got up, and stumbled on stiff, benumbed legs across the shadowy yard, crying heartily by the time he reached the veranda so that when he flung himself at the white pillar and bawled, “Den! Den! Den!” his voice broke with rage and pity at the disgrace of it all, and he felt himself flooded with tears and misery. Out on the lawn, the children stopped chanting. They all turned to stare at him in amazement. Their faces were pale and triangular in the dusk. The trees and bushes around them stood inky and sepulchral, spilling long shadows across them. They stared, wondering at his reappearance, his passion, his wild animal howling. Their mother rose from her basket chair and came toward him, worried, annoyed, saying, “Stop it, stop it, Ravi. Don’t be a baby. Have you hurt yourself?” Seeing him attended to, the children went back to clasping their hands and chanting, “The grass is green, the rose is red. . . .” But Ravi would not let them. He tore himself out of his mother’s grasp and pounded across the lawn into their midst, charging at them with his head lowered so that they scattered in surprise. “I won, I won, I won,” he bawled, shaking his head so that the big tears flew. “Raghu didn’t find me. I won, I won——” It took them a minute to grasp what he was saying, even who he was. They had quite forgotten him. Raghu had found all the others long ago. There had been a fight about who was to be It next. It had been so fierce that their mother had emerged from her bath and made them change to another game. Then they had played another and another.

Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own.

The reason perhaps why we know so little of Shakespeare—compared with Donne or Ben Jonson or Milton—is that his grudges and spites and antipathies are hidden from us. We are not held up by some "revelation” which reminds us of the writer. All desire to protest, to preach, to proclaim an injury, to pay off a score, to make the world the witness of some hardship or grievance was fired out of him and consumed. Therefore his poetry flows from him free and unimpeded.

What message is emphasized by the alliteration and parallel structure in this passage?

A. People who write have more negative than positive feelings.
B. Writing provides an important and necessary emotional outlet.
C. The feelings of certain writers have been well documented.
D. The purpose of writing is to seek revenge on one’s attackers.

√Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

Lizzie looked at him for a long time, tilting her head to one side as if trying to figure him out—which was what she was doing. "You're a strange person, you know that, Turner Buckminster? I wonder if you can see anything straight. What do you think your daddy would say if he saw us two standing out here right now? Or knew that I would be coming up to Mrs. Cobb's house just to hear you play?"

"He'd say h ll and d mnation. So you going to come?"

"I'll come. At high tide, when I can't be clamming anyway."

"Then I'll see you tomorrow at high tide, Lizzie Bright."

"Yes, you will," she said, and whistling softly, she turned toward the back of the yard. The sea breeze came down from the leaves and followed at her heels, jumping up now and again and frisking all around.

Turner snuck back inside, as quiet as could be, thinking of high tide.

In the excerpt, which most reveals Turner’s excitement about seeing Lizzie the following day?

A: Turner’s words: “He’d say h ll and d mnation.”
B: Turner’s act of sneaking quietly back inside the house.
