What information about the book does the underlined part of the citation provide?Gilligan, Carol. In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women’s Development. Cambridge: Harvard UP, 1982. Print.

Answers

Answer:

Publisher's name.

Explanation:

The underlined part of the citation i.e. "Harvard Up" states the publisher's name. The publisher's names display the name of the company or organization that made the work available. It provides readers with information about the publisher in a concise form. However, the citation style keeps varying, yet certain elements like the author's name, the title of publication, date, place of publication, etc are the key elements that remain intact in every style. Similarly, here also the underlined part exemplifies the publication info.

Answer:

Publisher's name is 100% correct.

In The Declaration of Independence, the text starts with an introductory paragraph to the situation, to then continue by stating "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This is what is believed by the authors and what will be supported throughout the text. Therefore, this is an example of claim.
