Which of the following transitional expressions should a student use to compare two ideas?

A capital letter is usedfor the first word of a sentence and for all proper nouns (words that name a specific person, place, organization, or thing). Capitalization in D is used to indicate the organization and compared to other others that do not follow the requirements for using capital letters, it makes D the correct answer.

Who’s is the right replacement for whose because it shows “who is” responsible for something, which fits perfectly into the sentence.

"Statistics is an interesting subject. However, statistics is often misleading."

In this sentence, both the subject "Statistics" and the verb "is" are in agreement, as they are both singular. The subject-verb agreement rule states that singular subjects should be paired with singular verbs, and plural subjects should be paired with plural verbs. "Statistics" is a singular noun, so it should be paired with the singular verb "is." The other choices have subject-verb agreement errors because they mix singular and plural forms incorrectly.

A thesis statement is a concise summary of the main point or argument that an essay or academic paper will focus on. It presents a claim or perspective that the author intends to support and explore throughout the writing.

Among the provided choices, "Choice C: Maori culture should receive more emphasis in the history curriculum of New Zealand schools" can be considered a thesis statement.

Using previous submitted work is plagiarism on itself even when that work belong to the student in question.

The word incredulous means the act of being unable to believe something.

A thesis statement is mostly used in the introduction to guide the reader on what to expect in the rest of the essay.

"We sat down to eat our meal outside; the night was beautiful." The semicolon (;) is used correctly in this choice.

Choice A has a comma before and which makes it incorrect.
Choice C has an s after the apostrophe in ladies's, hence it is incorrect.

Choice D also has a comma before and making it incorrect.
Note: And is a joining word and hence should not have commas before or after it.
