Question

janeczko captures readers’ attention again in the last sentence of the paragraph with a surprising fact. he writes that there were \about 620,000 soldiers\ killed during the civil war, which is a huge number, and he illustrates this with a comparison to total deaths in other wars. these numbers emphasize how significant the civil war was and how important it is to learn more about it. use the drop - down menus to analyze how this writer uses the pie strategy to present another reason. what point does the writer introduce as a reason? what kind of illustration does the writer include? how does the writer explain the illustration?

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the text and the PIE strategy (Point, Illustration, Explanation):

For "What point does the writer introduce as a reason?"

The writer’s point (reason) is about how Janeczko captures attention with a surprising fact (Civil War soldier deaths) to show the war’s significance. So the point is likely: Janeczko captures readers’ attention with a surprising fact about Civil War deaths to emphasize the war’s significance and why it’s important to learn about it.

For "What kind of illustration does the writer include?"

The illustration is the comparison: he uses a comparison to total deaths in other wars (along with the 620,000 soldier deaths statistic).

For "How does the writer explain the illustration?"

The explanation connects the numbers (illustration) to the war’s significance: These numbers emphasize how significant the Civil War was and how important it is to learn more about it.

(Note: Since the drop - down options aren’t visible, these are the logical answers based on the text. If options were provided, we’d match them to these interpretations.)
