The correct answer is C.Consonance
Answer:
Of the sentences provided, it is number 4 that would be the best alternative topic sentence for this paragraph about innovations in what to do with the household waste we produce. The alternative topic sentence would be: "The costs and pollution generated by landfills force communities to think creatively about what to do with everything we throw out."
Explanation:
The fourth option is the most appropriate as an alternative topic sentence because it is the alternative sentence that best summarizes the topics in the paragraph. The paragraph mentions that not everything we throw out is recycled, and cities are responding by looking for ways to expand recycling, or turning trash into energy. They have also been looking at ways to speed up the process of decomposition to make landfills more efficient. These points can be summarized as concerns about costs and concerns about pollution as detailed in sentence number 4.
Sentence number 2 is just a repeat of the original topic sentence. Sentence 1 does not really incorporate the idea of making the waste decompose faster which was one of the options. And sentence 3 repeats information in the paragraph and does not really summarize all points.
Answer:
My name is Anthony Chen, and this is my manifesto as a dining hall prefect.
First of all, I have a three-point agenda to sanitize the dining hall, thus making it more conducive for students. The three points are:
1. Ensuring high quality meals are served in the dining areas
2. Making sure the dining hall is clean at all times. (There will be punishment for defaulters.)
3. Ensuring meals are eaten in peace and love.
It is important that not only healthy foods are served in the dining hall, but also that no essential nutrient is lacking at any given time.
Also equally important is ensuring cleanliness at all times because a dirty place breeds germs faster.
Finally, as the Holy Bible says, "better a meal eaten in love, than a banquet where there is strife". There shall always be peace and love among students.
The Storyteller, a classic work of H.H.Munro - known as Saki, talks about a bachelor who tells a story to two young girls who are his travel companions on a train.
Explanation:
This is a story that is straight-forward and direct. It starts to the point where the two young girls are listening to the story being narrated by their aunt. At the end of the story they both express that they have not liked it at all and that it is unreal because of its extreme morale.
The bachelor keeps observing the entire scene and listens to the story. He understands that the young girls want to listen to something realistic, practical and believable. He tells them a story titled as 'horribly good' about a girl who dies because of her goodwill/good deed medals making a noise while she tries to hide from view of a wild animal.
The girls absolutely love the story and exclaim how relating and realistic it is.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY and THE MESSAGE SAKI WANTS TO GIVE to his readers is exactly the same. He wants to tell his readers that righteousness is a trait that all of us must practice but it does not lead us to good ends. It can lead us to bad too. It is not true that good people will end up only in the good experiences. They suffer equally.
This is central message of the story.
