there are several levels of narrowing a topic, from very broad to something appropriate for your assignment. which of the following is an example of effective narrowing? world war i > world war i battles in france > battle of somme attack on pearl harbor > world war 2 battles > battles in the pacific ocean wines of the world > champagnes > sparkling wines baguettes > bread > artisan breads of france
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For the first option: "World War I" is a broad topic. Narrowing it to "World War I battles in France" focuses on a specific aspect (location within the war). Further narrowing to "Battle of Somme" (a specific battle within those French - based World War I battles) is a logical and effective narrowing as it moves from general to specific.
- For the second option: "Attack on Pearl Harbor" is a specific event. But then moving to "World War 2 Battles" (which is a broader category than the initial specific event) and then to "Battles in the Pacific Ocean" (which is a subset of World War 2 battles but not a proper narrowing from the initial "Attack on Pearl Harbor" as it goes from specific to broad and then to a subset of the broad) is not effective narrowing.
- For the third option: "Sparkling Wines" is a broader category than "Champagnes" (since champagne is a type of sparkling wine). So the order "Wines of the World > Champagnes > Sparkling Wines" is incorrect as it moves from a more general (wines of the world) to a specific (champagnes) and then to a more general again (sparkling wines).
- For the fourth option: "Baguettes" is a type of bread. Moving from "Baguettes" (specific) to "Bread" (general) and then to "Artisan Breads of France" (a subset of bread but not a proper narrowing from baguettes as it goes from specific to general and then to a subset of the general) is not effective narrowing.
Answer:
World War I > World War I battles in France > Battle of Somme
