Main Point. The correct answer choice is (B)

In this stimulus, the mayor states that the town has agreed to try to attract more
residents, then makes the claim that the best strategy for doing so is to renovate the
train station. The rest of the stimulus provides premises in support of the claim that
renovating the train station is the best strategy. The conclusion to the argument
should be the claim about which the Mayor is trying to convince the reader and which
has been supported by the given premises.

Answer choice (A): While the Mayor makes this statement, it is not the conclusion that
his argument leads to. This statement has already been agreed upon and is therefore
not the claim that the Mayor is trying to advance with the argument.

Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. Not only is this the Mayor's
motivation for making the argument, but it is also the claim that the premises were
designed to support.

Answer choice (C): While the Mayor states that the number of jobs in Center City is
increasing, there is no claim made that Outerville residents should seek work there.

Answer choice (D): While the Mayor suggests that driving is becoming more expensive
than train travel, he does not claim that it is a better option that should be used by
all. This is not the Mayor's motivation for making the argument.

session 4 common concepts in poem
Maya Angelou

As a highly respected spokesperson for Black people and women, it is


hardly surprising that one of Maya Angelou’s most used word was
‘rise’. Her poems have been called the anthems of African
Americans. This is evident from words such as ‘history’, ‘pain’,
‘caged’, and ‘fear’, as well as empowering words, such as ‘stand’, ‘free’
and ‘courage’. The heavy use of ‘river’, ‘bird’, ‘sings’, and ‘sun’ can also
be viewed as symbols of freedom. Her poem ‘Caged Bird’ is one of
the most well known, telling the story of a free bird that leaps on
the wind’s back and floats downstream. Aside from racism,
discrimination and equality, other common themes included identity,
struggle, music, painful loss, love and family. It is thus of little
wonder that the words ‘children’, ‘work’, ‘love’, ‘men’, and ‘woman’ are
frequently used in her poems.

Robert Frost

Robert Frost is highly regarded for his command of American


colloquial speech and his realistic depictions of rural life.
Consequently, it comes of little surprise that some of his most
commonly used words relating to nature and outdoor life, including
‘tree’, ‘trees’, ‘flowers’, ‘wind’, ‘leaves’, ‘birds’, and ‘wood’. What is
perhaps more curious is the element of nostalgia and reflection on
the past that seems to be very prominent through the use of ‘had’,
‘back’, ‘dead’, and ‘thought’. The words ‘go’, ‘nothing’, ‘away’, and
‘death’ speak of the theme of isolation, which was common
throughout a lot of Robert Frost’s poems. The two most frequently
used words in Frost’s poems are ‘had’ and ‘him’, and while the former
can be related to the theme of isolation, it could simply be more
straightforward than this. His poems always dealt with man in
relation with the universe. This is the perspective they came from,
which is no doubt why those words were so prominent.

Emily Dickinson

Some of the most commonly used words in Emily Dickinson’s poems


are simply indicative of the period of time she wrote in. She was
born in 1830 and died in 1886, and thus the excessive use of the
words ‘thee’, ‘thou’, and ‘twas’ is something that can simply be related
to the times. However, other words used by her are a lot more
telling in regards to her thoughts and the place she was coming from
while writing. She often used images from nature and commented on
the wonders of it, hence the regular use of ‘flower’, ‘sun’, ‘summer’
and ‘sky’. Her use of ‘heaven’ and ‘God’ stands out, which is not a
shocker when you consider that a lot of her work was devoted to
exploring the relationship between an individual and a Judeo-
Christian God. ‘Death’ is another word that has been frequently
used, as she often explored death and immortality. The word ‘feet’ is
also prominent, which Dickinson often used as a symbol to comment
on life journeys. Perhaps ‘little’ being her most commonly used word
is the most intriguing.

Edgar Allan Poe

When it comes to Edgar Allan Poe, you’d expect ‘raven’ to be one of


the standout words, after all this was the title and topic of one of
his most famous works. In fact, animals in general were used as
motifs throughout his poems. ‘Eyes’ is another word that has been
used in a lot of Poe’s works. This is because he used it to symbolize
the essence of human identity, which cannot be separated from the
body. One common theme in Poe’s poems is love and hate, which is
evident from his regular use of ‘heart’, ‘death’, ‘love’, and ‘angels’.
Another prominent theme of Poe’s work is the power of the dead
over the living. In his poems he keeps the power of the dead alive
through memory, which is no doubt why words such as ‘dead’, ‘dream’,
‘life’, ‘angels’, ‘stars’, and ‘soul’ are used regularly.

Langston Hughes

A lot of Langston Hughes works center on The American Dream. He


speaks for those suffering poverty, oppression, and prejudice, yet is
hopeful that one day they will be able to pursue their dreams. This is
patently obvious from the words he uses the most, i.e. ‘America’,
‘dream’, ‘white’, ‘dreams’, ‘freedom’, ‘black’, ‘slaves’, and ‘negro’. Music
is also a common theme in his poems. In fact, a lot of his work has a
beat or rhythm that is identifiable. They read like they are verses
from a blues or jazz song. He also addresses the topic of music,
which is why words such as ‘blue’, ‘dance’, and ‘song’ are used. He
alludes to wisdom throughout, although he does not specifically use
the word. Instead, words such as ‘ma’ and ‘boy’ illustrate this, as he
often speaks of the words of the wisdom a mother gives to her son.

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman often discussed democracy in his works, pondering


whether it could thrive as a political system and if the US could
survive as a country. This is where words such as ‘America’, ‘new’,
‘states’, ‘cities’, and ‘strong’ come from. The human body is a motif
throughout his works, where he depicts the human body and its
capacity for physical contact. This is where words such as ‘face’,
‘eyes’, ‘hand’, and ‘body’ come from. ‘War’ is also a word that is used
throughout, as Whitman spoke about the Civil War, using it to
discuss the cycle of growth and death. He often focuses on the life
cycles of individuals, which is why common words in his poems include
‘life’, ‘new’, ‘dead’, ‘young’, and ‘little’. And, finally, some words such as
‘shall’, ‘thou’ and and ‘thy’ simply stem from the period in time in
which he wrote, as Whitman was born in 1819 and died in 1892.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare’s poems, or should we say sonnets, often


explored the dangers of lust and love. He explored the painful
physical and emotional consequences that could come from it, which
is why we see a regular use of ‘desire’, ‘lust’, ‘beauty’, ‘kiss’, ‘Adonis’,
and, of course, one of his most regularly used words – ‘love’. You will
also notice the frequent use of ‘flower’, which is no doubt because he
used flowers as a symbol of beauty, the aging process, the
transience of life, and the passage of time. Other notable words
include ‘spring’, ‘wind’, and ‘sun’. This is because Shakespeare often
used the seasons and the weather to stand for human emotions.
Beauty was explored in depth, including the responsibilities of being
beautiful and real beauty vs. clichéd beauty, which is why words such
as ‘beauty’, ‘looks’, ‘fair’, and ‘face’ are often used.
