We'll be glad to check your answer.
To determine the correct answer, we can analyze the options one by one.
Option a) "Expounds upon the thesis of the essay" - This could be a possible correct answer since a body paragraph typically elaborates on the main idea or thesis statement of the essay.
Option b) "Brings closure to the piece" - This is incorrect as bringing closure to the essay is usually the role of the concluding paragraph, not the body paragraphs.
Option c) "Features footnoted information" - This is not typically true for a body paragraph. Footnoted information is often used to provide additional sources or explanations, but it is not a defining characteristic of a body paragraph.
Option d) "Introduces the ideas that will be covered in the essay" - This is incorrect as the introduction paragraph of an essay typically introduces the ideas that will be covered, not the body paragraphs.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is a) "Expounds upon the thesis of the essay." A body paragraph is a paragraph in the main body of an essay that develops or supports the main idea or thesis statement of the essay.
