The correct answer is A. Finding strong supporting details to prove your point

Explanation:

An essay is an academical paper in which you are asked to write the main claim or thesis statement which expresses your position about something and prove to the reader or possible audience this claim or statement is valid and true by providing supporting details. In the case of media assessment essays, you are asked to evaluate or assess critically some media element such as one advertising or one piece of news and support your position as any other essay. This implies, for writing this essay you will need to think about your position or main claim and then look for the information or details that allow you to show your position is valid including reasons, facts, statistics or studies as without these details you will not have enough material to write and defend your position. Additionally, it is not required to look for more media materials or discuss with a specialist as the main purpose is that you can state your own position and support it by analyzing only one piece of media. Thus, before writing a media assessment essay it is necessary to find strong supporting details to prove your point as these details are the ones that allow you to develop your position which is main the purpose of an essay.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
