The correct answer is B. Schools should move away from standardized testing because tests often do more harm than good.

Explanation:

A claim is a statement used to express one's position towards an issue and that is used in essays or speeches with persuasive purposes. Additionally, a claim is considered as narrow and focused when it addresses only one specific point in a broader topic and this is clearly stated rather than including multiple points or including concepts that are not related. Considering this, the claim that is the narrowest and most focused is "Schools should move away from standardized testing because tests often do more harm than good" because this claim is specific as it addresses "standardized testing" and also provides one specific and clear reason for this that is "do more harm than good". Also, other options address more than one point or include concepts that are not related to the point addresses and therefore are broad and are not focused.

Choose one of these two themes: “Strangers can act heroically” or “Reporters may risk their lives to do their jobs.” Write a par
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Strangers can act heroically because the heroic personality not only in sport but in others spheres of daily life provides the subject with the exceptional nature denied them in his daily work logic. Reporters may risk their lives to do their jobs, because journalism is spoken of as a high-risk profession since, the journalist understands that the truth, although it may affect images of politicians and powerful people, must be counted as the only means of confronting phenomena rooted in society, such as corruption and tyrannies.

Explanation:

Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations

The speaker makes it clear that his focus in on ordinary people since he says the distinction between the rich and the poor is non existent in such a situation. Then , he makes reference to cartmen's being helpful. The speaker sets a possibility of ordinary people's being heroic because , although he has heard that some people have charged others for helping sufferers  and he thinks this can be true, he has not seen people doing so. He has seen people helping others in exchange for whatever can be given to them or even for nothing. Therefore, these deeds are heroic.

Explain how the way Charlie’s character changes makes the plot go in a circle. Think about where Charlie starts and where he end
HACTEHA [7]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.
