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.

sample answer from palto


King’s speech is from the point of view of a fellow African American who seeks civil rights and will not rest until the African American community achieves equal rights in the United States, but only through nonviolent methods. He states that African Americans will keep striving for freedom, but at the same time, he encourages the African American community to not indulge in any wrong or violent deeds. Malcolm X also attempts to encourage the African American community to revolt against destructive inequality, but he advocates using force and violence when necessary. His words “the ballot or the bullet” are meant to serve as an ultimatum to the government. If African Americans are not allowed to vote, then they may turn to violence to achieve their goals.

Identify the term that best describes the italicized words. We left the auditorium before the concert was over. noun clause
BaLLatris [955]
Well, this really depends on the word or words that are italicized. However, I did find somewhere on the Internet that the italicized words are <em>before the concert was over.
</em>If that is the case, then the correct answer is adverbial clause, given that it functions as a simple adverb, that is, it answers the question - when did something happen?
<em />When did we leave the auditorium? - Before the concert was over.

Pap is a drunk and is careless.

Why is he a drunk, because he gets "drunk as a fiddler".

Why is he careless, because that does not sound very safe to "clumb out on to the porch-roof and slid down a stanchion". Also he sounds kind of dumb to sell a coat for forty-rod whisky to get drunk. "traded his new coat for a jug of forty-rod".

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

This is a declarative sentence.

Explanation:

Declarative sentences are those that aim to pass on information, expose something that has happened or is happening. This sentence can also be considered a comparative sentence, as it compares the emotion expected to be felt by the narrator and the emotion that the narrator actually felt in relation to the joke in the classroom.

The sentence also has a dependent clause "what was meant to be" that needs a complement to make sense and get a message across. This complement is the clause that is established immediately afterwards, ending the sentence.
