Review the evidence.

for example, the bookmobile will stop running at the end of this summer. "i'm sad to see the bookmobile go," said ms. tomlinson, "because it brings the library to people who find it hard to come to us."

which best analyzes the quality of the evidence's support for the claim that the funding of the public library should be protected because the library offers important programs and services that benefit the whole community?

question options:

the quality is poor; the evidence only explains one program when the author is claiming that many more will be cut.

the quality is okay; it could be improved by explaining why this program, instead of others, will be cut.

the quality is good; it shows that a specific service that will be cut and explains the population that will be most affected by this cut.

the quality is okay; it mentions a specific service that will be cut, but it could be improved by explaining how this service is related to the library.

The library offers important programs and services that benefit the whole community, however in this evidence we are able to see only one program, this do not support properly the claim that the funding of the public library should be protected, we are missing pieces of information that will empower the claim. For this reason, we can say that the quality is poor; the evidence only explains one program when the author is claiming that many more will be cut.

answer: this is not a good thesis statement because a thesis statement is not supposed to have questions in it. a thesis states your position on your topic. a question cannot state anything because it is not a statement. a question is a great lead in to a thesis, but it can't be the thesis.

in the quotation from passage, connie willis states that literature is a way for authors from the past to communicate with readers of today. we can read their stories, books, and other texts to learn lessons about life. willis refers to these lessons as messages “from beyond the grave.” willis has a favorable viewpoint about the timelessness of literature.
