10. When writing an essay, using an anecdote, a startling fact, or a striking detail is a good way to
O A. contradict your research.
O B. introduce your conclusion.
O C. round out the thesis statement.
O D. begin the introduction.

Answer:

D. Begin the Introduction

Explanation:

If you are writing a narrative essay, it is a good idea to start with an engaging anecdote or if youi aim to to strike an emotional connection with the reader, start off by stating a startling fact.

When writing an essay, using an anecdote, a startling fact, or a striking detail is a good way to begin the introduction. Hence, option D is correct.

Anecdotes frequently shed light on how a problem has influenced a person's life. They put a human face to data and facts, giving an argument legitimacy by illuminating the incidents or encounters that shaped the author's viewpoint.

Anecdotes are frequently employed in literature to give characters more depth by illuminating aspects of their personalities or prior experiences that don't directly relate to the main plot. This strategy is also applied in real life, frequently with famous people and historical individuals, to emphasize particular qualities or traits.

The story is introduced, the events are described, and either a conclusion is drawn or a question is posed to allow the reader to form their own conclusions.

Thus, option D is correct.

Read the following passage:
Amid the many horrors of the Vietnam War, I found one of
the worst to be the waiting - those quiet times of inactivity
when anticipation of the next attack weighed on me like a
pile of bricks. I might be lying in the mud along a creek bed
somewhere, completely oblivious to the cold, the wet
earth, or the smell of gunpowder still fresh in my noshils. It
was those times of waiting that showed me I had nothing
else in my mind
no past, no future, no ideas. Just a raw
awareness of the moment.

• A. In the quiet of the jungle, the rippling sounds of the creek carried
me back to happier days on my parents' farm.
• B. could hear my own pulse drumming in my ears, but my only
thought was to remain still and quiet.
C. For years after that, I would remember the terror and suspense of
those long minutes spent waiting.

out everything else that had been there.

A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president", the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.


For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.


The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."



The president wasn't touched - he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."


"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.”


The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard."


For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?"



Her husband nodded. The President's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California, where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.




QUESTION: Why did the president of the university look down upon the couple?

a
A. He thought they were going to cause problems because they looked dangerous.
b
B. He didn't think they were important enough to talk to because they looked poor.
c
C. He had punished their son and felt they were to blame for the trouble he caused.
d
D. He knew them from where he grew up and was trying to avoid them.
