@ryebread1

RyeBread1:

I'm between A and D.

RyeBread1:

What do you think it is?

Kirsten123:

Idk

RyeBread1:

you don't know at all?

RyeBread1:

I said either A or D

Eiwoh2:

Why come you believe these two choices are correct? @RyeBread1

RyeBread1:

Um because thats what you start off with when you write a paragraph

Eiwoh2:

Those first two words did not come together well at all.

RyeBread1:

Haha! Sorry.

Eiwoh2:

Sure. Perhaps note that this is for a effective body[/i] paragraph. Thus, I do not believe a hook is necessary in that case. A hook is for the introduction.

RyeBread1:

Right, so it's A then.

Eiwoh2:

You get it

Eiwoh2:

What my keyboard doesn't let me say.

RyeBread1:

Yes, I get it I think

Eiwoh2:

Well we can also eliminate B for the fact it says thesis statement, which is also for the intro. Why do you think C is incorrect?

RyeBread1:

I don't.

Eiwoh2:

Okay. So let's not eliminate it. I'll quote what a source that I'll put down in a second says: "It is also important to explain how and why the evidence supports the thesis (warrant)."

Eiwoh2:

I found that under what it says about body paragraphs at https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/essay_writing/argumentative_essays.html

Eiwoh2:

So, in my understanding, the body paragraph should solidify the claim you made in the introduction, the data you found, and the warrant to back up the thesis statement.

RyeBread1:

cool good for finding a source to make it easier to understand

RyeBread1:

So, it is A?

Eiwoh2:

The body paragraphs don't contain your conclusion. Rather, I'd say C is most likely to match with an effective body paragraph.

RyeBread1:

Hm. Ok then. And you do know that this isn't my question?

Eiwoh2:

Of course but we worked together to find the solution to this one. That isn't wrong, is it?

RyeBread1:

No, I just wanted to make sure you knew that.

Eiwoh2:

I'm well aware. I will check out your question when I can.

RyeBread1:

I already closed it. It's ok, I'm using quizlet instead.
