Foreign languages are extremely important to students' education. After taking my first Spanish course, I saw a significant increase in my English grade. As a student in Spanish, I learned how to form verbs and verb phrases in that language. Learning about verbs and verb phrases in a different language gave me a different perspective about the same parts of speech in English. This new knowledge made English class much easier, and I received good grades in both classes last year. Learning foreign languages helps students in many different subjects. Ian wrote a persuasive speech to convince the school board to adopt more foreign language classes at his school. Do the examples from this part of Ian's speech support his position?
A. no, because they do not give a detailed explanation of the benefits
B.yes, because they explain specifically how the classes helped him
C. yes, because they state that Ian took a Spanish class

D.no, because they do not give specific information

Answers

The correct answer is: B) Yes, because they explain specifically how the clases helped him.

Remember that in a persuasive speech the author, in this case Ian, is trying to persuade an audience to accept an idea, attitude, or action. To do so, argumentation, rationalism, symbolism, and the usage of supportive information is needed. In this case Ian uses his own experience to support the idea that learning foreign languages is very important to the student's education. By telling this, the audience can infer that if it was helpful for him, it can also be for other students. He appeals to logos, clearing out how and why the foreign languages are essential.

the best answer is B. because he does state specifically how the classes helped him

Answers

I am not entirely sure whether these are the correct answers, but I will try and hopefully it helps you. :)
1. It is false that you plan the conclusion first - you need to get the general idea, and then create the entire outline. 
2. It is true that a thesis statement may be controversial - if what you are writing about is a controversial topic, the thesis statement may as well be controversial.
3. It is true that you shouldn't introduce a joke in your speech unless it has some point that you want to prove - you don't want to include anything in your speech that doesn't have anything to do with what you are trying to achieve.
4. It is true that the idea is central, and that you organize your essay around it.
5. It is false that failure to listen comes only from outer distractions - it may come from the inner ones as well. You may be tired or stressed, and so in no condition to listen to someone carefully. 

Choose the grammatically correct use of an absolute phrase from the following sentences. The love of my life walked out of the door, a cappuccino in her hand. The love of my life walked out of the door a cappuccino in her hand. The love of my life walked out of the door, and a cappuccino in her hand. The love of my life walked out of the door; a cappuccino in her hand.

Answers

The correct answer is A. The love of my life walked out of the door, a cappuccino in her hand.

Explanation:

In grammar, an absolute phrase refers to a phrase (set of words) that modifies a complete or independent sentence. In this way, in the case presented the phrase "a cappuccino in her hand" is absolute because it modifies the sentence "The love of my life walked out of the door".

Besides this, in terms of punctuation, absolute phrases are connected to the independent sentence they modify only through a comma. This implies the correct sentence is "The love of my life walked out of the door, a cappuccino in her hand" because in this, the comma is used to connect the absolute phrase and the sentence that is modified.
The answer is the first sentence.
