To answer the first question, when a reader is delineating an argument, they are analyzing the claim and evidence provided. This means they are carefully considering the argument, examining the main point being made (the claim), and evaluating the supporting evidence that is presented.
For the second question, an opposing claim is a claim that counters or contradicts the author's claim. It is a different perspective or viewpoint that presents an alternative argument to challenge or refute the author's claim. So, the correct answer is that an opposing claim is a claim countering the author's claim.
When it comes to how text features can help the reader delineate an author's argument, text features refer to elements in the text that are not the main body of text but aid in conveying information or organizing the content. Some text features include headings, subheadings, bullet points, bold or italicized text, graphs, tables, illustrations, etc. In the context of delineating an argument, text features can be helpful as they can reveal the main points and structure of the argument, making it easier for the reader to understand the author's perspective and follow the line of reasoning. Therefore, the correct answer is that text features can reveal the main points to the reader.
Finally, for the last question, a good piece of evidence should be relevant, reliable, and support the claim being made. Among the options provided, the statement "In a recent study, only 12% of students enjoy volunteering" is the only one that presents a specific statistic from a research study. This makes it a strong piece of evidence as it provides factual information that supports or adds credibility to the claim being made. Hence, the correct answer is that statement.
Please help i am confused here is the question and answers
In the past, the Kota spoke to the bones of their ancestors before making important decisions. They stored the bones in small baskets woven of rolls of bark or leaves. Sculpture such as this piece -- which is called a Kota funerary figure -- was tied to the top of the baskets. We are not certain what the figure meant to the Kota.
Which text feature would best help the reader understand this excerpt?
A. a sidebar about other African tribes
B. a glossary to define the word "funerary"
C. a graph showing the number of Kota sculptures
D. a chapter heading to summarize the text
