Answer:
The claim that the excerpt most clearly supports seems to be:
D. Without humanity's presence, New York City would quickly deteriorate.
Explanation:
This excerpt taken from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us" discusses how the human presence keep New York from becoming a disastrous chaos. As the author explains, without power and people to pump the water out, the subway systems of New York would be completely flooded. If it rains, it would only take some hours for it to be underwater; if it doesn't, just a couple of days. The author is showing readers that the city only functions because of the people who work to ensure it. If humans were to disappear, it wouldn't be long before the world became wild and nature claimed everything man has ever built.
Answer:
Transition is the correct answer
Because in a essay, to connect between point to point, paragraph to paragraph, you have to have a transition part (words, sentences, etc.) in order to smoothly change idea, topics!
Hope this helped :3
Answer:
A) In the context of the story "The Landlady", people face death many times, without knowing they are initially.
Billy did think there was something odd about the way he was received and ushered in. Only that he kept excusing them away.
B) Billy, I think, should have realised her plans. There was nothing ordinary about an Inn that had had only two guests in two years and whose guests were still in the Inn.
Another pointer to just what she was capable of, was the fact that she was skilled in the ability to enbalm dead bodies.
C) Billy was probably under a spell and not in denial. From the moment he walked into the Inn. There were lots of clues to show that the Inn was unusual. First was the fact that with such a ridiculous price, he was the only guest that night and many nights before.
A guest in their right minds would have taken an objection to staying.
