Researching to Write an Expository Essay about the Benefits of Humor — Quiz
Question 7 • English Language Arts 10
Read the paragraph that Deepak wrote to explain how he used a checklist to revise his paper. I checked my transitions to make sure they made sense. I also reread my sentences to determine whether they were too similar in style and length. I fixed a couple to add variety. I found one or two words that needed extended definitions and added them. I made sure that I summarized all research evidence throughout the paper. Besides the revisions listed in the paragraph, what else can Deepak do to strengthen his paper?
Answer
A
He should use more than one technique to integrate his evidence.
B
He should avoid extended definitions that provide too much information.
C
He should make sure he has a transition for every sentence in the paper.
D
He should try to keep all of his sentences the same length.
Explanation
Deepak says he summarized all of his research evidence, so he can strengthen the paper by varying how he incorporates evidence. He could use a mix of summaries, paraphrases, and direct quotations where appropriate. A transition is not needed for every sentence, and sentences should not all be the same length.
