Explanation:

1. Warm-Up Definitions:

• Simile: A comparison using "like" or "as" to link two distinct things.
• Metaphor: A direct comparison stating one thing is another, no linking word.
• Personification: Giving human traits/abilities to non-human things (objects, animals, ideas).
• Imagery: Language that appeals to the 5 senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) to create a vivid mental picture.
• Diction: The specific choice of words an author uses to convey tone, meaning, or style.

1. Missing 2-Chunk Paragraph Definitions:

• REPEAT: Refers to duplicating the chunk structure (CD, CM#1, CM#2) a second time to support the topic sentence.
• CS: Concluding Sentence - wraps up the paragraph, restates the core point, and ties evidence together.

1. Closure Answer:

• The 2-Chunk Paragraph structure organizes writing to be clear, evidence-based, and analytical. It ensures you support your claim with concrete details, explain their relevance thoroughly, and maintain a focused, logical flow, making your writing more persuasive and easy to follow.
