Masja [62]

Answer:

thesis statement Geronimo became a bitter warrior after his family was attacked by José Maria Carrasco.

evidence The writer gathered evidence from Geronimo’s autobiography, which includes facts and anecdotes from his life. For example, Geronimo burned his belongings, his children’s toys, and two tipis after the Mexican attack.

structure The essay reads well, but it lacks the traditional structure of essays. Some irrelevant discussion is included as well.

strategies The writer uses a cause-and-effect strategy and an appeal to emotions (pathos). He argues that the cause was the Mexican attack on the Apache camp, which resulted in the death of his mother, wife, and three children. The effect was Geronimo becoming a ruthless warrior.

The appeal to emotions (pathos) comes in the description of the attack on Geronimo’s family. Rielly also describes Geronimo standing alone in a river after the attacks as a way of showing his state of mind after losing his family.

fallacies Edward Rielly’s article about Geronimo doesn’t seem to have many obvious logical fallacies.

overall quality This is a good essay. It focuses on providing solid supporting evidence, and it demonstrates clear cause-and-effect relationships.

Answer:

The best effective thesis statements are both the first ("Hollembeak's review of the high school's play is fun and entertaining to read") and third ("In her editorial, Mellie writes convincingly of the need for high school classes to begin later in the morning") options.

Explanation:

The first and third statements are the only ones which state a convincing thesis about an argument. Both of them are informative about what is the object argued and present a clear idea of the main point made on that. Second option does not apply to the question because it is lacking in some way, because though it is informative and sets an idea of the argument, it is very broad to state "the play's action [is] in the 21st century". Fourth option does apply to the question as well because it is not a thesis, that is just exploring the content of an argument made, clarifying ideas for readers. And fifth option does not apply to the question too, because it is not a thesis, that is just a description of an information previously given, it only characterizes an informative statement, not an effective thesis.

I have described myself as always having been imbued with a fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature.
Tpy6a [65]
I have described myself as always having been imbued with a fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature.

In this line, the author is exploring man versus nature. The word or phrase from this passage that best demonstrated the conflict between man and nature is perhaps ‘penetrate’ or specifically ‘penetrate the secrets of nature’.

‘Penetrate’ means to succeed in forcing a way into or through. This signifies that the persona in this passage wants to understand the mysteries that surround nature.
