iogann1982 [59]
I believe you are referring to this text: 

<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.

From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".

olga nikolaevna [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Year-round school will reduce dropout rates. Dropout rates will be reduced because students will be able to take more frequent breaks. Data from the survey show that year-round schools have 3 percent fewer dropouts. With year-round schedules leading to fewer dropouts, schools are more successful.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given content talks about how year-round schools can reduce dropout rates. To present a logical argument, the paragraph begins with stating this central idea. It then goes on to support its claim with the benefit that year-round schools can provide, which is giving the students the space to take "more frequent breaks". It then goes on to substantiate the claim with statistical data, giving it more credibility by providing an exact figure of "3 percent." To conclude the argument, the paragraph ends on a big picture note stating how the claim can lead to schools in general being more successful by reducing drop out rates.
