ENGL147 Week 5 Quiz Part 1 Latest 2021 July (All Correct)

Question 1 Which of the following is not a viable “checklist” item for making your voice be the driving force of your draft? 

   Making sure you are synthesizing source ideas by inserting your own voice to show the logic and relevance of source information as applied to your own point

   Using your own language in each topic sentence to transition, to let the reader know the point of the paragraph, and to offer a preview of the support to come

   Spending adequate space and time after using support to explain the logic behind the support and to connect it to your stance, to show how and why it proves your point

   Using “I” and “me” every time you are expressing your own thoughts and opinions so your reader knows it is you “speaking”

Question 2 When drafting your conclusion, your primary purpose should be:

   To open up a new argument about a related sub-topic

   To reiterate your stance without repeating your thesis or points word-for-word and to leave your reader thinking

   To assert that, in closing, your reader should choose between agreeing with you and being “in the wrong”

   To announce what you have done in your essay in a statement like: “In conclusion, I have shown you the ways in which end-of-life care can be improved.”

Question 3 After writing the full draft of your essay, why should you revisit your introduction and review, and possibly adjust, it?

   Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is too mild in tone. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and be aggressive and combative, making our voice an “angry yell” vs. a “reasonable assertion.”

   Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is lacking in humor. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and insert a joke because humor is essential to good argument.

   Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is in good enough shape, with an attention-grabber, background information, and thesis. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and fine-tune each of those elements for maximum effectiveness and for good, logical flow between each sentence.

   Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is too assertive. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and adjust our wording so the reader understands that we do not have an opinion on the topic either way.

Question 4 When writing a full essay draft, which of the following does not represent something that we should continually stop and check for?

   Check for places in which we have used “direct quotations” from sources to see if we can remove the quotation marks and change a couple words, thus creating a good paraphrase.

   Check for unity by comparing our topic sentences of body paragraphs to our thesis, making sure they remain parallel in purpose.

   Check for argument integrity by ensuring that we are giving voice to opposition and refuting it respectfully.

   Check for our own voice as the driving force of the essay by making sure we have introduced ideas and sources well and have spent enough time making it clear to the reader how our support proves our point.

Question 5 When you are asked to write a full draft of your essay, what are you being asked to do? 

   Write a thorough plan that contains a few of the paragraphs but not all

   Compose and submit your actual essay fully written in full paragraph form from start to finish, with sources used, cited, and referenced

   Submit an overview of your goals and topic and plans for research, with a few sources listed, depending on the specific assignment

   Turn in a document with the introduction written, the body mapped out in a formal outline, and the conclusion written

Question 6 Please choose the list that best represents approaches for making an already “good” paragraph into a “great” paragraph:

   Choosing the most relevant and powerful transitions to guide your reader, inserting additional quotations so that the paragraph is balanced more toward source voices and less toward yours, and looking over individual words to determine if different words would help with subtle connotations to influence your reader

   Choosing the most relevant and powerful transitions to guide your reader, making stronger connections between sources used and between sources and your point, and looking over individual words to determine if different words would help with subtle connotations to influence your reader

   Revising your reactions to opposing viewpoints to make them appear less intelligent and/or evil, making stronger connections between sources used and between sources and your point, and looking over individual words to determine if different words would help with subtle connotations to influence your reader

   Choosing the most relevant and powerful transitions to guide your reader, making stronger connections between sources used and between sources and your point, and using the first-person “I” more so the reader knows you are the speaker

Question 7 Once you have your entire draft composed, including introduction, all body paragraphs, conclusion, and all sources used and cited/referenced, what is the best next step? 

   Don’t submit your draft yet! Reconsider your stance and try to adjust your thesis accordingly. Do not worry about the rest of the paper until your instructor offers you feedback.

   Submit your draft! It is only your instructor’s job to tell you how to make it better.

   Don’t submit your draft yet! You should first review and make adjustments for elements like flow, structure, voice, balance, unity, clarity for your reader. Then, you should submit your draft

   Submit your draft! Even though you know which changes you’d like to make, if you make them now, you won’t have anything to revise later.

Question 8 .Which represents the most effective and reasonable motto for drafting?

   “Relax, brainstorm your ideas, and turn in the first thing you write!”

   “Relax, use your sources as the guiding force of your essay, and cite those sources when you use exact words!”

   “Relax, use the tools you’ve learned, and be open to continual improvement and feedback!”

   “Relax, let your friend rewrite a few of your paragraphs because she’s a good writer, and hope for the best!”

Question 9 Which of the following represents the most effective “going from good to great” revision approach to the following sentence that appears in the middle of a paragraph and that uses source material? Original sentence: Howard (2020), notes that the communities most in need of nutrition education are those that need it most.

   Revised sentence(s): Howard notes that the communities most lacking in nutrition education are those that need it most. “It’s a sad situation” (2020, p. 34).

   Revised sentence: To further cement this imbalance between need and services, Howard (2020) notes that the communities most lacking in nutrition education are those that demonstrate the most ineffective nutrition practices.

   Revised sentence(s): Howard (2020) notes that the communities most in need of nutrition education are those that are least served. I agree with Howard because, as I noted in my thesis, we need to look at where the need lies and where it is not being met.

   Revised sentence: “These communities truly need it but are not being given it” (Howard, 2020).

Question 10 Which of the following represents the most effective “going from good to great” revision approach to the following topic sentence? Original topic sentence: Furthermore, statistics prove this point.

 Revised topic sentence: Furthermore, comparative statistics on post-miscarriage divorce and mental disorders shed more light on the real need for immediate miscarriage counseling in smaller community hospitals (Yung, 2018).

 Revised topic sentence: Also, statistics will show you that immediate miscarriage counseling in smaller community hospitals is needed.

   Revised topic sentence: Furthermore, here are some comparative statistics on post-miscarriage divorce and mental disorders.

   Revised topic sentence: Furthermore, comparative statistics on post-miscarriage divorce and mental disorders shed more light on the real need for immediate miscarriage counseling in smaller community hospitals.
