Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Which topic best relates to the central idea in this part of the speech?

1.Backing out of the fight
2.Avoiding future conflicts
3.Fighting a lost cause
4.Winning the war on terror

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is the 4th - Winning the war on terror

Explanation:

1 is incorrect because of the statement "No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve" this is clearly stating the opposite of backing down instead this saying they wont back down

2 is incorrect because of the statement "The war on terror is not over" this means that there is still a war and this will result in future conflicts.

3 is incorrect because "We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide." in this it is saying the tide is turning or in other words things are looking better. This was kind of a trick question because of the line "Their cause is lost." however that is talking about the terrorists cause not the US' cause.

4 is correct because this whole paragraph we can see President Bush speak about victory, the tides turning, their fate, and how their cause is lost. Plus if you are speaking to your troops this is a little more common sense than English, but you wouldn't want to be speaking of losing or avoiding the fight, you want to speak of winning and rally your troops.

Can. Anybody make a summary on Matthew Bishop from the book the cradle by Patrick Somerville

Answers

Answer:

Early one summer morning, Matthew Bishop kisses his still-sleeping wife Marissa, gets dressed and eases his truck through Milwaukee, bound for the highway. His wife, pregnant with their first child, has asked him to find the antique cradle taken years before by her mother Caroline when she abandoned Marissa, never to contact her daughter again. Soon to be a mother herself, Marissa now dreams of nothing else but bringing her baby home to the cradle she herself slept in. His wife does not know-does not want to know-where her mother lives, but Matt has an address for Caroline's sister near by and with any luck, he will be home in time for dinner.

Only as Matt tries to track down his wife's mother, he discovers that Caroline, upon leaving Marissa, has led a life increasingly plagued by impulse and irrationality, a mysterious life that grows more inexplicable with each new lead Matt gains, and door he enters. As hours turn into days and Caroline's trail takes Matt from Wisconsin to Minnesota, Illinois, and beyond in search of the cradle, Matt makes a discovery that will forever change Marissa's life, and faces a decision that will challenge everything he has ever known.

Elegant and astonishing, Patrick Somerville tells the story of one man's journey into the heart of marriage, parenthood, and what it means to be a family. Confirming the arrival of an exuberantly talented new writer, The Cradle is an uniquely imaginative debut novel that radiates with wisdom and wonder.

any points on how to write an argumentative essay

Answers

Answer:

      To begin, select a solid (and perhaps divisive) argument to serve as your foundation. This is the most effective approach to keep your reader interested. Is there a position you may take on the subject that differs from the "normal" viewpoint? When it comes to presenting a hot issue, the sky is truly the limit. Find out what's trending on social media or in your favorite news publications, and see if you can come up with a unique way to approach the topic.

      Choose a topic that you are passionate about. When you're looking for subjects, you'll undoubtedly come across a few trendy themes. However, just because a topic is potentially divisive does not imply you should write about it. Make sure it's a subject you're passionate about. It will make the rest of your study much more fun. This is one of the most fundamental guidelines for writing an argumentative essay (second to research). Your commitment and love for the issue will show through in your writing if you choose a topic you're passionate about. When an argumentative essay lacks passion, the reader may get disengaged. No one else will believe what you're writing if you don't.

      Do as much research as you can. Make careful to learn about your own issue as well as opposing opinions while conducting your study. You can't make a good argument until you know what the other side is thinking. As a result, argumentative essays might be a little more time-consuming than other sorts of essays. You must not only support your own point of view with evidence, but you must also demonstrate why the opposing argument is flawed. Your essay will be stronger if you can flesh out a decent point and back it up with research.

      Create a plan of action. It might be challenging to balance your results while you do research. What qualifies for inclusion? What isn't as crucial? This is when a sketch comes in handy. An argumentative essay outline can assist you in laying out your information, selecting the strongest aspects, and properly mapping them out. Establish the three main components of your essay: introduction, body, and conclusion, and then use bullet points to divide them into subsections. You'll be able to go on with writing your essay once you see your thoughts grouped and planned out like this.

      Take care of your formatting. The efficacy of the possibly sound point you're attempting to convey will be harmed if your essay is poorly structured. An essay may be broken down into three sections:

  1. Introduction - A normal essay will include one or two opening paragraphs that provide your thesis statement (or statement of view) and entice the reader as to WHY they should keep reading.

  2. Body - This will contain all the important parts of the essay. Include pertinent data, figures, narratives, testimonials, and more in this section. You may also use the body to employ other types of persuasion, such as emotional appeals or reasoning.

  3. Conclusion - The concluding sentence will provide a quick overview of all you've written. It will restate how your essay's "meat" links back to your thesis statement and why your position is valid. Consider finishing with a rhetorical question or another eye-catching statement.

      Finally, let your enthusiasm shine through. While research is important, passion comes in second. Consider the last time a buddy advised you to try a new product or watch a new television show. They were most likely quite enthusiastic and persuaded you to have a look. For your next argumentative essay, the same must be true. Take a stand for what you believe in, back it up with evidence, and work to change the world one mind at a time.

Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.”

The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so close behind me he kept stepping on my heels. The faster I walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was shattered by a bolt of lightning. When the deafening peal of thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out, “Brother, Brother, don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!”

The imagery in this excerpt most reflects

the sense of sight to emphasize the fear that Doodle was feeling.
the sense of sight to emphasize how difficult it was for the boys to see.
the sense of sound to emphasize the frustration of the narrator.
the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.
