What is the topic sentence in this paragraph? Alexander Hamilton’s major role in the US government was secretary of the Treasury

. He used his position to generate income to strengthen the federal government’s power. After the Revolutionary War, the new government needed a way to pay its debts, and Hamilton created several plans to make this happen. One plan involved a tax on luxury goods. Another included buying and selling bonds to private investors. Hamilton wanted to establish a national banking system using one currency, which would help bring the states together as one nation.

He used his position to generate income to strengthen the federal government’s power.

 

<span>Frequently, the first sentence of a paragraph will be the topic sentence, the notion of which might make the selection of the topic sentence of this paragraph a bit tricky.  However, in this instance, the topic sentence is, in fact, the second sentence.  This can be determined by looking at all the body sentences.  When we look at the body sentences, all sentences are about the income and power of the government.  As such, the remainder of the paragraph following the second sentence is an elaboration of the second sentence, “He used his position to generate income to strengthen the federal government’s power.”  Thus, it is safe to say that the second sentence is the topic sentence of the paragraph.</span>

How are Yun Ok's character traits—demonstrated in her quest to obtain the tiger's whisker—going to help her accomplish her goal
podryga [215]

The correct answer is; She learned the trait of patience on her quest to obtain the tiger's whisker.

Further Explanation:

Yun Ok had to wait 6 months to gain the trust of the tiger so that she could get a whisker. She had been having trouble reconnecting with her husband after he returned home from war. She did not care if it was dangerous going into the lions den as long as it brought back her husband.

She had to learn to be patient and trust the tiger to not hurt her. Most importantly, she had to gain the trust of the tiger. This took time and then she understood that she had to take time and have patience with her husband before things would return the way they once were at home.

Think about the character of Rainsford. Which character in the story is his foil? Whitney Ivan General Zaroff
Hatshy [7]
A foil is the near complete opposite of the main character (whichever character they want you to find a foil for).

Rainsford and Whitney were good hunting friends with numerous similar interests. They could not be foils because of how close in similarity they were. Even when they disagreed on how animals felt about being hunted, Whitney seemed open to and intrigued by Rainsford's points and way of thinking. 

Ivan is a near irrelevant character, being a mere Cossack who follows whatever General Zaroff says. He is mindless and has almost zero traits to even compare to Rainsford, let alone any traits aside from a mindless follower to begin with.

The answer would be General Zaroff. This is almost like the cliche protagonist vs antagonist foil. Both of them are hunters, but different kinds. Zaroff got bored with animals and wanted to hunt human people instead, whereas Rainsford had enjoyed the thrill of an animal hunt and thinks that the hunting of people is murder. Zaroff is more heartless and cold, a killer, if you will. Rainsford seems to think highly of actual people, and had no interest in playing Zaroff's game.

KonstantinChe [14]
The answer is "it leaves things uncertain."

This passage focuses on the mother's understanding; it does not focus on Imogen's inner thoughts or her love for the children.

However, it does not specifically explain the "many things" the mother thought when she looked away from her child's eyes. Therefore, it leaves these things uncertain.
