Explanation:

First Question (Top Multiple Choice)

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "argument": By definition, an argument is a systematic attempt to support a debatable claim with logic and evidence.
• "I.C.E structure": It's a method (Introduce, Cite, Explain) for writing, not the overall attempt to support a claim.
• "body paragraph": A part of an essay, not the whole attempt to support a claim.
• "memorandum": A formal note, not focused on supporting a debatable claim.

So the correct option is the one with "argument".

In Elbert Hubbard's essay "A Message to Garcia", the phrase "a message to Garcia" is repeated for emphasis to highlight the core theme of taking initiative and fulfilling tasks. The other options don't match the repeated phrase in his essay.

Answer:

A. argument
