Answer:
To remove the "dead-weight phrase" in the sentence: "It has been found that most people consider buying a house the largest purchase they can ever make," it can be rewritten as follows:
"Most people consider buying a house the largest purchase they can ever make."
Explanation:
A dead-weight phrase is one that is not helpful in a sentence to convey the intended meaning. This implies that the meaning can still be picked up without the phrase. For example, the phrase: "it has been found that" is not necessary in the sentence. The meaning of the sentence is conveniently conveyed with its omission. The meaning is not lost if the sentence is rewritten as "Most people consider buying a house the largest purchase they can ever make."
Generally, a dead-weight is an unnecessary burden that can be jettisoned to make a load lighter. Also an unhelpful person can be considered as a dead-weight.
Answer:
They struggle to fit in.
They feel supported by their mother.
They embrace American culture.
Explanation:
The daughters are young girls who want to be free and experience new things. They know that their father is strict because he forbids the daughters to wander through.

The correct answer is A. Major Tallmadge developed a unique code system so that the Americans could send secret messages.
Explanation:
To find the central idea in a text, ask yourself what is the main idea the author expresses?. For example, in the passage presented the author focuses on the system Major Tallmadge created and how this system was very elaborated or complex, which is shown through details such as "He substituted digits for words" or "Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher". Moreover, the author implicitly suggests this was used for Americans to send secret messages as he mentions important American military leaders such as "Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington" and shows how important was that the messages were only understood by few. In this context, the main idea is "Major Tallmadge developed a unique code system so that the Americans could send secret messages".
Julain: 38 + 41 + 42 +46 +50
50-38 = 12
Nina: 27 +32 + 45 +47 +49
49-27 = 22
Median for Julian is 42, median for Nina is 45
45-42 = 3
22 -12 = 10
<span>The medians differ by 3, but the ranges differ by 10</span>
This is of course somewhat of a subjective question, but in general most would agree that Beats emulated "<span>D. Ezra Pound" since their tactics were similar. </span>
