What do you call a sentence that reveals the main or central idea of the paragraph?

Answers

Answer 1

The Topic Sentence reveals the main or central idea of the paragraph.

The "topic sentence" states the paragraph's main or central idea and it is the most crucial sentence in the paragraph. The topic sentence typically consists of two components: the controlling idea and the topic itself.

The Topic:

The paragraph's subject is the topic. It is the main or central topic of the paragraph.

The Controlling Idea:

Even if all of the aforementioned requirements for a topic sentence are satisfied, a strong topic sentence still requires the "controlling idea" as a second component. The paragraph's main idea is its governing idea. In addition to limiting the paragraph's scope, it focuses on the ideas that support it.

Read the excerpts from Queen Elizabeth's speeches. Excerpts from Queen Elizabeth I speeches. The first is from her Address to the Troops at Tilbury. The second is from her Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry. How does the rhetorical appeal used in these excerpts from Queen Elizabeth's Address to the Troops at Tilbury and Response to Parliament's Request That She Marry compare? Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose. Both use an appeal to ethos by providing a reason why she should be trusted. Both use an appeal to logos by encouraging her audience to show strength. Both use an appeal to ethos by listing credentials to support her credibility.

Answers

Answer:

Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose.

Explanation:

Queen Elizabeth, I had been the monarch of the British throne without any husband or even a legitimate heir to succeed her to the throne. Not only that, she was a woman and these issues would crop up as a national security question for her enemies or even subjects.

But in both speeches, she made an appeal to logic by asserting her capability to be not only the leader of the kingdom but also as a woman and without a husband. She presents herself as a strong leader and fully aware and capable of leading the nation even during wars. In her response to the marriage issue, she replied, "I will never in that matter conclude anything that shall be prejudicial to the realm, for the weal, good and safety whereof I will never shun to spend my life." And in the speech to the Tilbury troops, she declared, "I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too."

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

A) Both use an appeal to logos by providing a reason to support her purpose

I would say anything debatable, if we use a real world topic like the death penalty. you could argue for it to be mandatory or to abolish it. If you want a lighter subject like pineapple on pizza (might not want to use this one if your doing a serious assignment) you could argue it doesn't belong and put the effects. I would find a controversial topic and see if you like it.

Under a grey dawn, timidly breaking, Through the little village the men are waking, Easing their stiff limbs and rubbing their eyes; From my misted window I watch the sun rise. In the middle of the village a fountain stands, Round it the men sit, washing their red hands. What effect does the poet create with his use of verbals in these lines?

Answers

According to the words used by the poet, they made the reader visualize a little village with a group of hardworking men. I know this because of the little details the poet used, like ‘washing their red hands’, or ‘easing their stiff limbs’, meaning that they are tired for an exhausting day of work. To sum it up, the poet gave the effect of a hard working, nostalgic effect.

Explanation:

En inglés, preguntas indirectas normalmente empiezan por una pregunta extra que no es realmente necesaria. Es usada simplemente para hacer la frase más educada, cortés. Las preguntas más comunes son "Do you know" y "Can you tell me".

Si la pregunta original tiene una question word (who, what, where, when, etc.), debemos añadir la pregunta extra y eliminar los verbos auxiliares o cambiar su sitio en la frase si es necesario:

Who is there? - Do you know who is there?

Who did you see? - Can you tell me who you saw?

Who was she? - Do you know who she was?

Pero si la pregunta original no tiene question word y empieza por un verbo auxiliar, debemos eliminarlo y añadir "if":

Did you call me? - Can you tell me if you called me?

Do you like apples? - Can you tell me if you like apples?

Read the following excerpt from by Robert Louis Stevenson, then find the correct answer:

Memoirs and Portraits

And all the while I was aware that this life of sea-bathing and sun-burning was for me but a holiday. In that year cannon were roaring for days together on French battlefields; and I would sit in my isle (I call it mine, after the use of lovers) and think upon the war, and the loudness of these far-away battles, and the pain of the men's wounds, and the weariness of their marching. And I would think too of that other war which is as old as mankind, and is indeed the life of man: the unsparing war, the grinding slavery of competition; the toil of seventy years, dear-bought bread, precarious honour, the perils and pitfalls, and the poor rewards. It was a long look forward; the future summoned me as with trumpet calls, it warned me back as with a voice of weeping and beseeching; and I thrilled and trembled on the brink of life, like a childish bather on the beach.

How does the line in bold demonstrate Stevenson's purpose?

It describes his excitement about the future, as well as his fear of it.

It describes his struggle to learn to play music with any level of skill.

It describes his internal battle with the concept of war and destruction.

It describes his need to understand the process of getting a career

Answer:

It describes his excitement about the future, as well as his fear of it

Explanation:

According to the following excerpt from by Robert Louis Stevenson, the narrator describes the war and how he only had temporal peace and respite. He also thought about "the other war" which entailed seventy years of toil, and then little rest.

The line in bold demonstrate Stevenson's purpose by describing his excitement about the future, as well as his fear of it.

N. B. The lines in bold are "the life of man: the unsparing war, the grinding slavery of competition; the toil of seventy years, dear-bought bread, precarious honour, the perils and pitfalls, and the poor rewards"

One of the themes that emerges over the course of this novel is that war is brutal and awful. How does the depiction of Henry's mother in this excerpt begin to establish or develop that theme?

Answers

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

If the theme that war is brutal and terrible is developed through Henry's mother, we can consider that it shows a negative reaction towards the war. She may be showing fear, insecurity, anger and even revolt, showing that there is something, related to war that deeply bothers her, because she understands the danger, pain and destruction that war promotes. In that case, to answer that question, you must find this reaction that Henry's mother demonstrates and explain the element that causes it.
