tester [92]1 year ago

This question is incomplete because the controlling idea is missing; here is the complete question:

Read a student's reaction to a nonfiction article.

Summary:

I read an article by Alfred Jenson about oil spills. Jenson has crossed the Arctic Ocean many times on vessels designed for exploration and research. He believes oil spills can be prevented with stricter international regulations governing oil transport.

Controlling Idea:

The controlling idea of Jenson's article is that many oil spills have occurred in recent years in the Arctic Ocean.

What must the student add to make this controlling idea complete?

A. Jenson’s viewpoint

B. Expert testimony

C. Arctic Ocean statistics

D. Specific dates

The answer to this question is A. Jenson's viewpoint

Explanation:

The purpose of a controlling idea is to state the position of the author about a topic, which is used to write a text or prepare a speech. Also, it is common the controlling idea mentions first the topic or issue that is going to be discussed, and then the point of view or position of the author about it. This means, in this case, the controlling idea should not only mention the fact Jenson observed many oil spills occurred in the Arctic Ocean but should also state what is the viewpoint or position of the author about this situation.

4. PART B: Which detail from the paragraph 3 best supports the answer
ivanzaharov [21]

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer:  A “These correlational findings do not prove that lack of sleep is causing these problems."

Explanation:

To answer this question, one must first read "Teenagers Who Don’t Get Enough Sleep at Higher Risk for Mental Health Problems" (2015) by Tori Rodriguez. Then, answer the first part of the question, which asks: " Which statement best describes how the author addresses the conflicting evidence in paragraph 3?."

The answer to the first part is:

She acknowledges that some questions remain, even though the link between sleep and mental health is strong.

The answer to Part B of the question is that the detail from paragraph 3 that best supports the answer to Part A  is when the author explains that the correlational relationship between the lack of sleep and problems like anxiety has not yet resolved whether the lack of sleep causes anxiety or is anxiety what causes insomnia. And still, most of the research has provided evidence that supports the causal direction being lack of sleep causing problems.

Answer:

In the poem 'The Worm', the poet Thomas Gisborne brings out the emotions he has for the little worms. He says we should take care not to step on them and take away their lives. They may be tiny but are God's creations and no one has a right to take away another's life.

Do you agree with Hoover's statement that capitalism produces greed?If so,
grigory [225]

I agree with Hoover's statement that capitalism produces greed. This is because capitalism pushes the idea that the main, or only, concern of businesses should be maximizing profits. It does not pay enough attention to how these profits are obtained or whether society is damaged in the process. The only way to remedy this is through regulation that limits the range of action of businesses and corporations.

The text "The Roaring Twenties" by Mike Kubic provides evidence of this by showing how President Coolidge failed to passed legislation that would have stopped or diminished the Great Depression. An example of my own experience is how businesses often refuse to raise the salaries of employees, even when these have been working for a long time in the same place. Finally, an example of literature can be seen in <em>The Jungle</em> by Upton Sinclair, in which the author describes the abuses of factories in order to make more profit.

How is Caliban portrayed in the Balinese production of The Tempest?
JulijaS [17]
I believe the correct answer is A. as a hairy monster.
Caliban is represented as a half man, half monster hybrid in both the original play as well as the Balinese production of The Tempest. He is the monster servant of Prospero, the magician who lives on the island and is hated by everyone.
