The correct answer to this open question is the following.

First, we are talking about the story "Everyday Use," written by African American writer Alice Walker in 1973. This story is included in the collection called "In Love and Trouble."

The characterization of the speaker could be the following. She is a strong character uneducated woman that works hard to maintain the family. She tells the story from her perspective, so she is not objective. The name of the character is simply "Mama."

Where does she refrain from making judgments? For instance, when her daughter asks her if she looks good. Mama evades the question asked by her daughter but later she -as the narrator- describes the way her daughter looks.

Where does she present less than the full truth? For example, when she refers to Wangero, the other daughter. She hides some truths and then later, she expresses what she really thinks about her daughter and how she does not agree with her decisions.

Do these examples of reticence undercut her reliability? No, she simply tells the story from her particular point of view.

Identify the thesis statement as unified or not unified.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

not unified

Explanation:

A "thesis statement" refers to one or two sentences that provides a concise summary or main idea and purpose of an essay or research paper. This appears at the introductory paragraphs. The idea expressed should only be "one."

The thesis statement above is not unified. It states two ideas: "Teen magazines are an inexpensive source of well-written fiction and nonfiction" and "Teen magazines can provide good advice to struggling teens."

A unified thesis statement should have a clearly stated argument that focuses on one major idea regarding its subject.

So, this explains the answer.

Answer:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) satirical article "A Modest Proposal" - for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.

Option C states almost the same thing as in option D. But option D better explains the situation.

There is also a sharp sense of satire in author's usage of words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift's satire is aimed toward government whose policies even in matters of such great importance are economy centered.
