Writing an Argumentative Essay about the Nobel Prize in Literature — Quiz
Question 6 • English 2-1001340
Read the passage from an argumentative essay. (1) It's no wonder students' grades drop when they enter high school. (2) They are suffering various effects of sleep deprivation. (3) They cannot focus, they fall asleep in class, and they often forget what they have read or heard. (4) They may even hallucinate. How should sentence 3 be revised to clarify relationships among ideas?
Answer
A
by connecting it to sentence 2 with "so"
B
by connecting it to sentence 4 with "and"
C
by adding "In addition" to the beginning of the sentence
D
by adding "Specifically" to the beginning of the sentence
Explanation
Sentence 2 introduces the general idea that students suffer effects of sleep deprivation. Sentence 3 lists specific examples of those effects, so beginning it with “Specifically” makes that relationship clear. “In addition” would suggest another separate point rather than details supporting the general idea.
