Bluebook questions in Practice test2 section 5(CR) number 22

<p>The question is copied like below.</p>

<p>The author develops the third paragraph(lines 43-66) by presenting
(a) different sides of a single issue(no way)
(b) details that culminate in truth(nothing of the sort)
(c) a thesis followed by specific illustrations(kind of...Im not sure)
(d) a common argument followed by a refutation of it(nope, definetely not)
(e) a common opinion and the reasons it is held(kind of...Is this a common opinion that he used? not sure)</p>

<p>Well, narrowing down by (c) and (e) I chose (e)...and the answer is (c) for my disbelief.</p>

<p>The passage is fairly easy...It is about "bats."</p>

<p>The third passage starts from the writer's position. It is sort of statement. </p>

<p>To paraphrase it, bats have had negative images in human history.
After this sentence, all the other sentences support this one. </p>

<p>So, the author said his opinion, and supported with the concrete examples. </p>

<p>But, I got wrong....Why...</p>

<p>Is this about the word "always" that appears in the first sentence of the third paragraph??</p>

<p>Does this only word differentiate the author's thesis from a common opinion??</p>

<p>Please help me through this one... I can't understand it by my own..</p>

<p>Well, pay attention to the first sentence of this paragraph. It is about bat's negatives.So, it is a topic sentence or thesis sentence, rite? The following sentences are examples that help illustrate this point. They are not explanations why? or reason why? Just elucidate the author's viewpoint.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>It helps me a lot!</p>
