The correct option is: "Sydney draws visitors from all around the world to see its iconic architectural masterpiece—the Sydney Opera House."

<u><em>The dash </em></u>can be used in English to add explanatory phrases or comments, similar to parentheses. In formal writing, parentheses should be used instead of hyphens, since the latter sign is considered more informal. Dashes can be used to emphasize a sentence.

Sydney draws visitors from all around the world to see its iconic architectural masterpiece—the Sydney Opera House. I used the method of elimination  to narrow it down to that one.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The historic event Jackie Robinson is referring to is:

Option C: Governor Faubus’s calling of the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine African American students from entering Little Rock Central High School, despite the US Supreme Court’s ruling against segregation

Explanation:

The 'Brown vs. Board of Education' made a rule that public schools would be integrated and there would be no segregation made between the whites and blacks in the school. In case it is done, it would be against law. But the governor of 'Arkansas', Governor Faubus, was against this law and he stopped nine African American students to enter Little Rock Central High School.

Jackie Robinson wrote a letter to President Eisenhower urging that he should take quick action and protect the rights of those nine African American students. President's intervention was important in preventing their rights.

The following passage is biologist Hope Jahren’s prologue to her 2016 memoir Lab Girl. A prologue is an introduction that provid
bearhunter [10]

Answer: Jahren is a biologist who has a soft spot for leaves, trees and other life giving plant. In Jahren's prologue, she answered people who wanted to know why she didn't study the ocean though she lives in Hawaii. Jahren is concerned about the fate of trees and plants in the world. She believes that a lot of tree are being fell without adequately replacement and that this affects nature.

According to her, each plant or tree that is felled, is an unnecessary death and she doesn't care whether the plants were lacking in one vitamin or whether the plant is big or small. She believes that the first vital step to becoming a scientist is to care, and not necessarily by ones knowledge of biology, physics, or chemistry.

Some rhetorical choices were made when she said "Someone died? and

Maybe I can convince you" while trying to explain why plants should not be unnecessarily killed.

Which sentence uses the underlined word correctly?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Our Constitution is based on certain principles .

Explanation:

The term <em>principle</em> is a noun and it indicates <u>fundamental beliefs that something is based on</u>, whether it be a <em>constitution</em> in this case, or <em>somebody's beliefs</em>. <em>Scientific principles</em> are the <em>laws of science</em>.

The correct use of the word in other sentences would be:

Our experiment was based on scientific <u>principles</u>.

The <u>principles</u> of my parents have always stuck  with me.

On the other hand, <em>principal </em>is an adjective and it refers to something that is primary, main. It can also be used as a noun: The <em>principal </em>visited our class today. In this case, it refers to the <u>headmaster of a school.</u>
