- A.
Unified and coherent paragraphs
- B.
Reader is held in suspense
- C.
No single summarizable thesis
- D.

Open form writing is characterized by the absence of a single summarizable thesis. Unlike closed form writing, which follows a specific structure and presents a clear thesis statement, open form writing allows for more freedom and exploration. It does not have a central argument or main idea that can be easily summarized. Instead, open form writing often focuses on multiple perspectives, ideas, and interpretations, creating a more dynamic and complex piece of writing.Rate this question:

- C.
Showing how your viewpoint is the only viewpoint on the topic
- D.

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
An informative and surprising paper does require a thesis. A thesis is a clear and concise statement that presents the main argument or point of the paper. It helps guide the reader and provides a focus for the research and evidence presented. Without a thesis, the paper may lack direction and coherence, making it difficult for the reader to understand the purpose and message of the paper.

- B.

- C.
Go into great detail about the common viewpoint
- D.
Delay your thesis until after you have explained your audience's common viewpoint
Correct Answer
D. Delay your thesis until after you have explained your audience's common viewpointExplanation
Delaying the thesis until after explaining the audience's common viewpoint creates a surprising reversal feel to the paper. By first presenting the common viewpoint and providing detailed information about it, the reader becomes familiar with the expected perspective. However, by delaying the thesis, the writer can then introduce a surprising and unexpected perspective, which creates a sense of surprise and reversal for the reader. This approach engages the reader in the question, explains the significance of the answer, and sets up the surprising reversal effectively.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. When you are citing from a print or pdf formatted sourceExplanation

Correct Answer
D. Reliability, credibility, angle of vision, and degree of advocacyExplanation
When evaluating a source, it is important to consider more than just the credibility of the source. Reliability is crucial to ensure that the information provided is accurate and trustworthy. Credibility refers to the expertise and reputation of the author or the source itself. Angle of vision refers to the perspective or bias from which the information is presented, allowing the reader to understand any potential biases or limitations. Degree of advocacy refers to the extent to which the source promotes a particular viewpoint or agenda.

Correct Answer

Credibility is similar to reliability, but credibility refers to trust in the writer's honesty. This means that when a writer is credible, readers believe that the writer is being honest and trustworthy in their writing.

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
An element of a painting can be analyzed by examining the medium, technique, and brushstrokes used in the artwork. By studying the medium, which refers to the materials used to create the painting, such as oil, acrylic, or watercolor, one can gain insight into the artist's intentions and the overall effect of the artwork. The technique employed by the artist, such as the application of paint, the use of texture, or the layering of colors, can also provide valuable information about the artwork. Additionally, the brushstrokes used in the painting can reveal the artist's style, level of skill, and emotional expression.
