Explain the difference between alphanumeric, full-sentence, and decimal outlines.
answer
An alphanumeric outline has Roman numerals, capitalized letters, Arabic numerals, and lowercase letters. A full-sentence outline is the same as an alphanumeric outline except that it uses full sentences. A decimal outline is similar to an alphanumeric outline except it uses decimal notation in place of the Roman numeral/capitalized letter/Arabic numeral/lowercase letter structure.
question
Explain the outline structure in detail, including the four characteristics of the body of an outline.
answer
Responses may vary but should contain some or all of the following information: An outline begins with a heading that is the working thesis statement. After the heading comes the body. The body should have parallelism, coordination, subordination, and division. Parallelism is parallel structure for headings and subheadings. Coordination means that information at the same level should have the same significance. Subordination means that headings should be general, while subheadings should be more specific. Finally, division means that each heading (and subheading) should be divided into two or more parts.
