Answer
Brief Explanations:
Question 51:
A call - to - action encourages readers to take specific steps, which is what stating citizens can take three key steps is. A personal anecdote is a personal story, and bookending refers to starting and ending with a similar element.
Question 52:
An excerpt used in an essay to support the thesis is typically text from a reliable source like an academic journal. A personal story is not an excerpt in the traditional sense for supporting a thesis, the thesis with details is not an excerpt, and text edited out is not an excerpt in the essay.
Question 53:
The sentence about some contestants eating at least ten hot dogs but most eating less sets up the context for the statement that none beat the 18 - hot - dog record. The option about the contestant eating 19 hot dogs contradicts the record not being beaten, the winning contestant eating 25 hot dogs also contradicts it, and the statement about hot dog ingredients is off - topic.
Question 54:
Brainstorming is part of pre - writing, which is the stage before actually writing where ideas are generated. Proofreading is checking for errors after writing, revising is making changes to the written work, and post - writing is the final stage after all revisions.
Question 55:
The main idea is the key concept and overall gist of the text. A one or two - sentence condensation may be a thesis or summary, the main idea is not necessarily the entire first section, and a one - sentence summary of a paragraph is a topic sentence.
Answer:
- A call to action
- Several sentences from an academic journal that you include to support your thesis
- Some contestants ate at least ten hot dogs, but most ate less.
- Pre - writing
- The key concept being expressed or examined and the overall gist of the text.
