Question

Both Ada and Phil are evaluating their thesis statements, topic sentences, and evidence. If Ada finds that her essay doesn't have a thesis statement identifying the topic of the essay, she will reread the essay to determine the main point of the essay. If Phil finds that his essay lacks evidence to support his thesis statement, he will do additional research to find substantial evidence. Who is correctly evaluating and revising his or her essay? A. Both Ada and Phil B. Only Phil C. Neither Ada nor Phil D. Only Ada

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Both Ada and Phil

Explanation:

Ada is correctly evaluating her essay because she may be able to reconstruct the thesis after identifying the topic and the main point in the essay. A thesis is made up of a topic and what is being said about that topic. The main point may have been developed but not stated through the claim / thesis.

Phil is also evaluating his paper correctly  since he has noticed his thesis lacks enough evidence. A way to solve this problem is to gather more evidence.

Answer 2

A. Ada and Phil are both correct
