Explanation:

Analyze Question 5

The question asks for the main difference between a personal narrative essay and a diary entry.

• Option 1: Incorrect. A personal narrative essay is typically more structured and detailed.
• Option 2: Incorrect. Both are written in the first person.
• Option 3: Correct. A diary entry simply records events, whereas a personal narrative uses those events as evidence to support a larger thematic point.
• Option 4: Incorrect. Personal narratives heavily rely on personal feelings and opinions.

Analyze Question 6

The question asks to identify which sentence is an example of "showing rather than telling."

• "Telling" directly states an emotion (e.g., "I was nervous", "stressful", "felt a lot of different emotions").
• "Showing" uses sensory details and physical actions to imply the emotion.
• Option 2 describes reading the same paragraph four times without understanding and hiding shaking hands. This physically demonstrates nervousness without explicitly naming it.

Analyze Question 7

The question asks for the three-part thesis formula taught in Lesson 3.

• A standard academic thesis formula for essays (especially personal or narrative-based ones) often connects what you are writing about, why you are writing it, and your perspective.
• The option "subject + purpose + point of view" represents a comprehensive three-part thesis formula that defines the scope, the goal, and the stance of the essay.
