Which of the following would not be a good supporting sentence for an
example paragraph with the following topic sentence?
I generally enjoy all the books that I pick up to read, but
there have been one or two notable exceptions.
O A. The Shining by Stephen King was too much for me, and I had to
put it down.
B. Reading is so beneficial that I think I should always be reading
some kind of book.
O c. When I started reading How a Car Really Works, I fell asleep before
I even finished one page.
D. Arrogant Cats was just dumb, and I felt like I was wasting my time.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

All other options reveal a negative attitude or an exception that aligns with the topic sentence except B, which instead gives a positive attitude. All other options state that you don't like it or have a problem with it and thus rhymes with the topic sentence except B. So B is not a good supporting sentence for the example paragraph.

Answer 2

Answer: B is coy

Explanation:

Reading is so beneficial that I think I should always be reading some kind of book.

Instead of levying a duty on trade goods, the Stamp Act imposed a direct tax on the colonists.

5. climatic

Answers

Answer:

5. climatic

Explanation:

Arranging things in a sequence, where each things precedes or succedes another is called ordering. Ordering can be done in several ways, depending on ordering criteria.

For example, we can arrange events chronologically, which means we arrange them based on the time period when they occured; from the most to the least recent event, or vice versa.

Spatial arrangement means that we list things based on their position in space; from right to left, or from top to bottom.

Logical order is when we place things in a manner that each one logically follows the previous.

However, in this example, we have climatic order, which means that things are arranged in an order from the least important to the most important, making the final thing on the list the most important, or strongest, or the best.

Answer:

climatic

overdependence on technology suppresses creative

thought.

С. An exchange between a mother and son reveals the new

and creative ways that technology is being used to

D. Face-to-face communication is criticized as outdated,

because it is much more convenient to use machines to

Answer:

B. A mother's conversation with her son reveals that an overdependence on technology suppresses creative thought.

Explanation:

The book "The Machine Stops" is about a future where machines are in charge of every facet of human life.

Two characters in the book Vashti and her son Kuno who are inhabitants of this new world. Kuno somehow manages to get to the surface outside of the influence of the machines and he tells his mother how the surface is and how the machines can't rule them forever.

As the novel goes on, there are different instances of where over-reliance on the machines limits creative thought because the machine does everything for them. There was a case study of a man that did not know how to pick a book that had fallen from his hands because there was no nearby machine to do it for him.

Use ACTIVE to find three questions on the shorts story “up the slide”

Answers

All of these are informed by London's adventurous life, which included stints as a sailor and as a gold prospector in the Klondike region of Alaska, where there was a Gold Rush in the 1890s: the setting of ''Up the Slide''.

We know a few important things about the main character, Clay Dilham: he's young (seventeen) and arrogant. He's traveling with a man named Swanson to the village of Dawson to pick up mail. They've camped for the night when Clay boasts he'll be able to return with a sled full of firewood in just 30 minutes. This young whippersnapper is quite proud that he noticed a dead tree other travelers had overlooked. The only problem? It's high up on Moosehead Mountain, on a steep slide, or rock face, covered in snow.

No biggie, Clay thinks to himself. He knows the frozen river is below the tree and thinks that if he chops it down so it falls on the ice, the trunk will shatter into pieces: firewood ready-to-go. The older, more experienced Swanson just laughs at Clay's boldness. We have the sneaking suspicion that the opening of the story is a sign things won't turn out as planned, that this foreshadows, warning or indication, challenges to come.

Conflict: Man vs. Nature
As soon as Clay begins making his way up the slide, he realizes it's much steeper than he thought, and he regrets wearing slick-soled walrus-skin moccasins instead of more rugged footwear. He reaches a patch of snow-covered grass and keeps slipping on it. The only way he can make it through is by digging his bare hand into the snow and frozen dirt to slowly pull himself up. Finally, he makes it up to his tree, and chopping it down turns out to be the easiest part of the whole ordeal.

Clay looks at the way he came up the slide and realizes he'll just keep slipping and falling if he tries to climb back down. He starts to feel tired, but realizes if he stops moving, he'll freeze in the 30-below weather. Clay has underestimated some of the challenges nature can present and overestimated his ability to handle them. This makes ''Up the Slide'' a classic example of the literary conflict called man vs. nature.

How does the author's choice to reveal the woman's blindness in the last paragraph contribute to the overall story?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This question refers to the short story "The Mouse", by Saki.

The main character is Theodoric Voler, a man who has been raised in a most overprotected manner. He finds the world to be full of annoyances and disturbances.

The theme of this story revolves around Theodoric's self-centeredness. He is so busy worrying about himself, about his image in front of others, and about his comfort that he fails to notice and pay attention to other people's sufferings and misfortunes. That theme is developed at the climax of the story. It turns out that the woman who is sharing the train carriage with Theodoric is blind. He had been utterly embarrassed throughout their trip because he needed to half undress in order to get rid of a mouse that was crawling under his clothes.

Theodoric suffered terribly, to the point of shivering, imagining what that woman could be thinking of him. Too concerned about his own petty problems, he failed to realize her blindness. The author only reveals her blindness at the end of the story, which means readers have suffered all the while with Theodoric, wondering what that woman's reaction would be. By being told about her blindness in the last paragraph, readers are left surprised and maybe even a bit upset at Theodoric and all his unnecessary worry.
