Writing a Research-Based Informative Essay about the Benefits of Humor
Question 1 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex
Iggy is revising the following excerpt from his research-based essay on the effectiveness of animal shelters. Behaviorists studied sheltered animals to determine whether these animals showed increased signs of stress. These clinicians hypothesized that behaviors such as whale eye are much more prevalent in shelter inhabitants. Which revisions should Iggy make to best improve the readability for his audience (tenth grade classmates and his teacher)?
Answer
A
Iggy should include personal perspective of owning a shelter pet.
B
He should combine the sentences to make the text easier to read.
C
He should include extended definitions for more challenging vocabulary.
D
He should include all behaviors of the stressed dogs observed by the clinicians.
Explanation
The excerpt uses specialized terms, especially “whale eye” and “shelter inhabitants,” that may be unfamiliar to tenth-grade readers. Iggy should add explanations of these terms so his audience can understand the research. Adding a personal story or a longer list of behaviors would not clarify the challenging vocabulary.
