The three components of a scientific argument are:

1- THE CLAIM

The claim is a conclusion achieved that answers the original question.

2- THE EVIDENCE

The evidence is used to support the claim. It has to be sufficient, correct qualitative, quantitative and appropiate.

3- THE REASONING

The reasoning is the part that links the claim with the evidence, showing why the data correctly supports the claim made at the begining of the process.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi went to England for higher studies at the age of 19. His mother was apprehensive about young men going astray in western society. But her fears were allayed when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not to touch meat, wine and women. He faced a lot of difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we should use the Past Simple, as the whole story refers to the past. Therefore, we should use verbs like went, was, faced, etc...

The construction go for something means try to achieve a goal, in this case, he tried to finish his higher studies.

e.g. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi went to England for higher studies at the age of 19.

The construction to be afraid/worried/apprehensive about + V+ -ing contains the verb with -ing at the end, as a part of this construction, so, in this case, we should change the verb form from go to going.

e.g. . His mother was apprehensive about young men going astray in western society.

But her fears were allayed when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not to touch meat, wine and women.

In this sentence, we should use when instead of that, because when acts as a conjunction meaning at the time that.

We use the construction not to when we want to emphasize the absence of some action; in this case, that he will not touch meat, wine and women.

The construction a lot of refers to a large number or amount of things (in this case difficulties).

He faced a lot of difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

What type of rhyme is used in this excerpt from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Municipal Gallery Revisited"? My mediaeval knee

Arlecino [84]

Hello, the answer here would be "slant rhyme". It cannot be a "strict rhyme" because it is not strict, the rhyme changes throughout the poem, it doesn't follow the same scheme. It isn't "internal rhyme" as well, because the words don't rhyme within a single line. It isn't a "double rhyme" because these are all monosyllabic words (one syllable) and for it to be a double rhyme there needs to be at least to syllables in a word. So the only option is "slant rhyme", which isn't exactly rhyming, for example, "dear" and "door" would be considered slant rhyme.
