Answer 1

The term 'complicity' in 'The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle' implies involvement in wrongdoing, while the story of 'Jonah and the Whale' explores the theme of transformation. 'Jonah-like' is an allusion to Jonah's biblical tale, and 'dagger' provides a definitional context clue for the word 'dirk'. An essay's conclusion should create a sense of completeness.

Step-by-step explanation:

In The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, complicity implies involvement in wrongdoing, particularly through silence or inaction that could be seen as tacit approval. A major theme in the story of Jonah and the Whale is transformation as Jonah goes through a personal and spiritual change. An allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing, or idea of historical, cultural, literary, or political significance without describing them in detail. Here, the phrase 'Jonah-like' refers to the story of Jonah, which is used to express Charlotte's feeling of being trapped or swallowed up by her situation on the ship. This allusion enhances the understanding of her predicament, as Jonah was trapped in the belly of a whale. The word 'dagger' provides a definition context clue for 'dirk'—a term that might be less familiar to readers—by restating it with a more commonly known synonym. A key element of an essay’s conclusion is that it creates a sense of completeness, wrapping up the arguments and reflecting upon the thesis presented in the essay.
