Viola, at this point in the plot, is still under the belief that her only brother Sebastian has died of drowning during their shipwreck. She is still in disguise as a young man and her reply is a figurative and adorned way to say that he/she is the only surviving scion of his/her family.

Answer:

Love Thy Garden

Most of us associate gardening with our grandparents, with people recovering from an illness, or with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes. Of course, it is not something young people do, right? However, an increasing number of young adults and kids are getting into small-scale farming or gardening. This happens because schools across the country have initiated programs that involve working not only in gardens but also in small community farms. For example, The Edible Schoolyard Project, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, makes farming fun for young people. In the beginning, Alice wanted to transform a vacant lot into an edible kitchen in her neighborhood school. After 2005, the project blossomed into a nationwide campaign to involve kids in the food-growing and production process. The program lets school kids of varying ages grow their fruits and vegetables. Then, it teaches them interesting and simple recipes. Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food? First, they plant the seed. Then, they watch the plant grow as they take care of it. Finally, they pick the fruits and eat them. Besides, farming has other benefits: it relieves stress and it helps kids stay fit and connect with the community. Gardening or farming can also be fun for adults and teenagers. Thus, people of all ages can enjoy it.

Explanation

Grandparents: unification of the concept grandpas and grandmas to get a shorter sentence.
Sentence 1: Since the first three sentences are closely related, the text flows better by linking them. The repetition of the preposition "with" gives the text a poetical aspect.
people recovering from an illness/with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes: omission of the expressions "who are"/"We have seen" to make the sentence shorter.
Of course: to emphasize the claim.
Young people instead of younger because there is not a comparison between two elements in the same sentence.
It is not instead of it isn´t since it should be formal as it may be an academic text.
However: connector to show an opposition between two ideas.
This happens because: phrase to link the cause and the effect.
not only in gardens but also in small community farms: not only but also to show addition.
For example: to introduce an instance of the previous idea.
, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, : use of a relative clause to characterize the previous pronoun.
In the beginning/ After 2005: connectors to show the before and after of the project.
neighborhood school instead of a school in her neighborhood to make the sentence less complex.
The omission of "own" because it is redundant.
Then: connector of time to show that the idea follows the food-growing process.
as: to show simoultaneous ideas
Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food?: use of a question to invite the reader to think and make him/her feel part of the text.
First/then/finally: connectors to show the chronological order of processes.
Besides: to add a new idea
use of colon: to introduce a list of equal elements
also: to show the idea of addition, inclusion
Thus: connector to show a consequence of the previous statement

What is the best way to revise the paragraph to connect

Basile [38]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the paragraph from a research-based essay on the benefits of a classroom with a learning center–based layout for preschoolers.

(1) A classroom should be set up as a series of learning centers, which are designated stations that encourage exploration. (2) This layout allows children to move freely throughout the room, delving into activities that interest them and possibly discovering new materials and games. (3) Self-directed play and learning promotes confidence and independence in kids. (4) Students are focused on a task of their choosing, enjoying themselves, and interacting in smaller groups. (5) Discipline problems are often reduced.

What is the best way to revise the paragraph to connect ideas?

by splitting sentence 1 into two sentences to separate the ideas

by splitting sentence 2 into two sentences to separate the ideas

by combining sentences 2 and 3 with the transition word therefore

by combining sentences 4 and 5 with the transition word so

Answer:

The best way to revise the paragraph is by combining sentences 4 and 5 with the transition word "so".

Explanation:

There is no need to breaking sentences 1 and 2 into two sentences with separate ideas. Both sentences are well connected, having clauses with relating ideas that can and should be connected. There is also no need to combine sentences 2 and 3 with the word "therefore". There is no connection between the ideas presented in both sentences that justifies them being combined into one.

On the other hand, it makes perfect sense to combine sentences 4 and 5. When we read sentence 5, it sounds oddly short and lonely. When we read it right after sentence 4, we notice there is a connection between their ideas. Sentence 4 mentions students focusing on their tasks, enjoying themselves. That can lead to fewer disciplined problems, as mentioned in sentence 5. Thus, it is ok to join the sentences with "so":

Students are focused on a task of their choosing, enjoying themselves, and interacting in smaller groups, so discipline problems are often reduced.
