In an introductory paragraph, where is the claim/thesis statement usually located? *
A: at or towards the end of the paragraph
B: in the first sentence
C: you don't put the claim in the introductory paragraph

A

Explanation:

There are two goals for a standard introductory paragraph in literature:

1.) hooking the audience

2.) stating the claim / purpose for the paper

Logically speaking, it doesn't make sense to suddenly start writing about what the paper/subject is about without first introducing the topic and hooking the reader. Therefore, claims are usually towards the end after author is finished introducing the topic with a hook.

answer; i believe the correct answer is ( indirect characterization);

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
