What must the student add to make this controlling idea complete?

English
1 answer:
tester [92]2 years ago
3 0

This question is incomplete because the controlling idea is missing; here is the complete question:

Read a student's reaction to a nonfiction article.

Summary:

I read an article by Alfred Jenson about oil spills. Jenson has crossed the Arctic Ocean many times on vessels designed for exploration and research. He believes oil spills can be prevented with stricter international regulations governing oil transport.

Controlling Idea:

The controlling idea of Jenson's article is that many oil spills have occurred in recent years in the Arctic Ocean.

What must the student add to make this controlling idea complete?

A. Jenson’s viewpoint

B. Expert testimony

C. Arctic Ocean statistics

D. Specific dates

The answer to this question is A. Jenson's viewpoint

Explanation:

The purpose of a controlling idea is to state the position of the author about a topic, which is used to write a text or prepare a speech. Also, it is common the controlling idea mentions first the topic or issue that is going to be discussed, and then the point of view or position of the author about it. This means, in this case, the controlling idea should not only mention the fact Jenson observed many oil spills occurred in the Arctic Ocean but should also state what is the viewpoint or position of the author about this situation.

How does the passage foreshadow doodles death
stich3 [128]
In The Scarlet Ibis, there are many instances of foreshadowing through motifs that we see at the end all represents Doodle's death. One example is the Ibis itself, which had represented Doodle since the beginning. It was injured, just like him, and died, which he would eventually do. On a deeper level, the passage discusses the seasons. Originally, Doodle was born in the Spring. However, he begins to learn how to walk in the Summer a few years later. Doodle begins to get worse in Autumn because he has less training, and eventually, he dies in the Winter.

What is the overall tone of this poem? Hap by Thomas Hardy If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh:
rjkz [21]
In Thomas Hardy's <em>Hap</em>, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the <em>reality </em>(by his perspective) which is that his <em>bad luck </em>in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence. 

Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.

Therefore, your best answer is reflective.

What are the barrier in using sensory imageries well in writing?​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The main barriers when using sensory images in writing lie in subjective issues of the sender and receiver of the message. Thus, when writing a sensory image, a situation is being captured in letters and phrases that, in reality, is visually perceived and is interpreted and valued differently, depending on who and how they see it. Thus, for example, the description of a certain place can have positive or negative connotations depending on who is reading the text.

On the other hand, given the infinite variety of elements that make up reality, and on the contrary, the limited specificity of the language, the description of a natural environment can be interpreted differently depending on who reads it.
