Your thesis, then, could be something like, “My cousin Allison is a masterful cook.” One way to explain that someone is a great cook is by including an example to illustrate this general statement, so you could offer the following: “One reason Allison is a great cook is that she always adds something new to old recipes.”

Which of the four following more specific details supports the general statement?

My cousin Allison is a masterful cook.

b)

Allison’s macaroni and cheese casserole is one of her specialties.

3.

An intransitive verb is an active verb that does not have a direct object. In other words, these verbs never directly affect anything in the sentence; they just tell us what the subject of the sentence is doing. Consider the sentence “The sun rises.” Here we learn what the sun does, but the action is not affecting something else. If we try to put another thing right after the word “rises,” we end up with a nonsensical group of words (“The sun rises the town” is incorrect). Intransitive verbs may be followed by an adverb (a word that addresses how, where, when, and how often) or a prepositional phrase, or they may end a sentence. For example: “The woman spoke softly.” “The athlete ran faster than the official.” “The sun rose over the mountain.” “The boy wept.”
