Question

1. in a literary analysis essay, what do you call the sentence that makes you own claim about the texts meaning? rebuttal thesis statement counterargument textual evidence

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Rebuttal" is a response to an opposing argument, not a claim about the text's meaning.
• "Thesis statement" is a sentence that presents the writer's claim or main argument about the text's meaning in a literary analysis essay.
• "Counterargument" is an argument opposing the main claim, not the claim itself.
• "Textual evidence" refers to quotes or references from the text to support a claim, not the claim - making sentence.
