41. you are using an academic essay to refute the argument of another writer. what are you hoping to do in your essay? ignore the opposing argument and instead make your case independent of the other writers argument. describe your personal feelings rather than rely on research since you are addresses another specific writer. provide a counter - argument that demonstrates how the other writers argument is flawed. support the view of the other writer and provide additional information that demonstrates their argument is accurate. 42. which of the following sentences has the problem of using a mixed structure? you have egg on your face. cereal goes well with milk, although you can eat it dry too. im feeling silly and i cant stop laughing. although i like breakfast, so i eat it rarely. 43. which of the following is a function of a thesis statement? it answers a question. it sets up the main argument you will make in the essay. it sets the readers expectations for the essay. all of the answers are correct. 44. in considering the importance of cultural sensitivity as compared with speaking ones mind, it seems that it would be best to err on the side of respect for other cultures. when we realize that our words hurt another, we should weigh our right to freedom of expression with the rights of others to live free of persecution. what do you think is the gist of what this author is trying to say in the previous passage? when we realize weve hurt someone else, we should quickly apologize and not repeat the mistake. freedom of speech is not very important. it is important to be respectful when we speak about other cultures. it is important to speak ones mind freely in all situations, even if others feel disrespected and persecuted as a result.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Question 41: When refuting another writer's argument in an academic essay, the goal is to present a counter - argument showing flaws in their argument, not ignore it or support it.
- Question 42: A mixed - structure sentence combines different grammatical structures in an incorrect way. "Although I like breakfast, so I eat it rarely." wrongly combines "although" and "so".
- Question 43: A thesis statement answers a question, sets up the main argument, and sets the reader's expectations, so all options are correct.
- Question 44: The passage emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and respecting other cultures when speaking, rather than just focusing on freedom of speech.
Answer:
- Provide a counterargument that demonstrates how the other writer’s argument is flawed.
- Although I like breakfast, so I eat it rarely.
- All of the answers are correct.
- It is important to be respectful when we speak about other cultures.
