Question 10

2 / 2 pts Which of the following represents the most effective “going from good to great” revision approach to the following topic sentence? Original topic sentence: But how can we accept the word of Dr. Kevorkian? Revised topic sentence: Indeed, Dr. Kevorkian took heavy criticism and was named by many “Dr. Death,” but I always thought he had the right idea. Revised topic sentence: But, many people referred to Dr. Kevorkian as “Dr. Death,” so his word is useless. Revised topic sentence: Indeed, Dr. Kevorkian took heavy criticism and was named by many “Dr. Death”; however, his basic philosophy about the right to die contains valuable insights that still apply. Revised topic sentence: Indeed, many doctors in the old days had some good insights (Smith, 2020). We need to make it clear why we would question the word of this individual and exactly the point we are trying to make by exploring, or even mentioning, this individual. Also, we should avoid logical fallacies like Appeal to Popularity, avoid “I,” and avoid using a source as the voice of a topic sentence. In addition, we should avoid vague clichés like “In the old days.”
