What is the main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal? 31st. Set forward to Stowey at half-past five. A violent

storm in the wood; sheltered under the hollies. When we left home the moon immensely large, the sky scattered over with clouds. These soon closed in, contracting the dimensions of the moon without concealing her. The sound of the pattering shower, and the gusts of wind, very grand. Left the wood when nothing remained of the storm but the driving wind, and a few scattering drops of rain. Presently all clear, Venus first showing herself between the struggling clouds; afterwards Jupiter appeared. The hawthorn hedges, black and pointed, glittering with millions of diamond drops; the hollies shining with broader patches of light. The road to the village of Holford glittered like another stream. On our return, the wind high—a violent storm of hail and rain at the Castle of Comfort. All the Heavens seemed in one perpetual motion when the rain ceased; the moon appearing, now half veiled, and now retired behind heavy clouds, the stars still moving, the roads very dirty A. exploring the forest around the road leading to Holford B. the weather during the writer's journey to Holford C. the writer's admiration for the moon D. the writer's dislike of stormy weather

Answer:

The main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal is:

B. the weather during the writer's journey to Holford.

Explanation:

After reading this passage, we can see how the focus is on the weather. Even if it is described in almost poetic way, and even if the moon is mentioned a couple of times, the author's point is to give an account of what the weather was like during the journey to Holford. We are told about the clouds, gusts of wind, the sound of the storm, what things looked like before and after it hit... Notice, however, that the writer does not express any dislike for the stormy weather. It is just a simple account of it, but written in a beautiful manner.

An author writes the following paragraph for an argumentative essay:
Wewaii [24]
The excerpt mainly focuses on the general idea that television has a bad influence on children, so I would say the best answer choice is "television has a bad influence on children." It doesn't focus too much on the three types of shows, but otherwise that would be the second best answer. Let me know which one is correct, but I believe it's B.

Quiz: "Mallam Sile": A character is shown by what they say, what they do, how they look, and how others react to them. In one pa
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Mallam Sile is a blind tea seller, he is gentle, and people usually take advantage of him and his blindness, but he doesn't really react to that. He finds a wife who is not afraid to punish his bullies, and thus return everything that was stolen from him.

Mallam Sile was constantly mocked by the 'rascals' in his tea shop, to the point where any person would be justified in quitting or acting out in an upset way. However, Sile never gave up trying to talk to the women and trying to keep a positive outlook on life. When asked when he would give up on the people, he would explain that he already had, but he would never give up on himself.
