What two words or phrases in this excerpt from "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant best help to reveal the meaning of the wor

d blight as it is used in the poem?
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall.
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart--
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings,

Veseljchak [2.6K]

The detail that supports an argument that technology brings some teens together because it improves their social lives is “[f]ifteen to 30 percent of teens . . . reported feeling less shy, more outgoing, more self-confident, more popular”.

The paragraph starts with the topic, first, it refers to teens who do not feel social networks change their social lives. Second, it refers to those who claim social media has a positive effect on their social lives and, finally, it refers to those teens who feel social media has a negative impact on their lives.

The sentence “[f]ifteen to 30 percent of teens . . . reported feeling less shy, more outgoing, more self-confident, more popular” belongs to the second aspect described. That is to say, it is supporting the claim about the positive impact of social media in teens' lives.

The other options are not correct because the first one is the topic sentence, and the last option is a negative effect of social networks on teens' lives.

Genrish500 [490]

The correct answer is A.

The bottom map provides data that shows that prescribed fires would actually reduce the carbon dioxide, as opposed to wild fires, which would produce it in large quantities.

Therefore, these maps could be used as evidence to support the idea that prescribed fires are benefitial for the environment, rather than harmful.
