For what book and what does the line say?
For what purpose did Mukherjee most likely write her essay “A Four-Hundred-Year-Old Woman”?
B) to explain how her new culture inspires her writing
I assume your options are <span>1) rival, foil, accomplice, adversary and 2) weak, greedy, noisy, insensitive. Mrs. Samsa appears as a B. foil to her D. insensitive husband. Here are the explanations:
1. Mrs. Samsa seems to have much compassion for her son. However, she can't help being grossed out by his new appearance - she just can't bear to have a look at him and hopes he would eventually return to his former shape. In a way, this is a symbolic depiction of her frail and untrue love for him, because she can't sympathize enough with him to understand him and keep loving him no matter what he looks like.
2. Mr. Samsa is insensitive from the beginning to the end of the story. He even believes that Gregor turned into a vermin on purpose, to avoid his duty of supporting his family. He doesn't even want to give Gregor a chance to explain what happened. He just wants him out of his sight.</span>
Answer:
Selecting and forming a claim about a specific topic.
Identifying evidence to include to support your reasons.
Investigating counterclaims that go against your claim.
Explanation:
An argumentative essay is one that argues for or against any given issue. This means that the paper must include or contain evidence for the arguments made, support the claims, and thus, making a persuasive presentation.
In writing this type of essay, the prewriting steps will include the selection of the claim or argument that will be the focus. Then comes the identifying of evidence, as support for the argument. Also, investigating any counterclaims that argue against the claims made is also part of the prewriting steps.
Thus, the correct answers are the first, second, and third options.
