According to Fitzgerald, literature includes universal themes that can connect to most readers. The universal theme of The Wizard of Oz, "there is no place like home,” is revealed through a character who is far from home and feels vulnerable and alone. The theme supports the idea that readers can relate to feeling isolated and alone in the world. What should be included to make this body paragraph more effective? a thesis statement to explain the author's viewpoint a concluding sentence that persuades readers to read The Wizard of Oz details that explain how the characters support the theme commentary that connects the evidence to the reason

D. commentary that connects the evidence to the reason.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

This is because an effective paragraph usually focuses on the main point and usually contain sentences that are are related to the subject matter. But they are given in order to expand.

The commentary that actually connects the evidence with the reason will improve the paragraph's effectiveness and give more explanation on the evidence. At the same time, the paragraph's main idea must not be eliminated in the course of the writing the paragraph.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !
