Answer:

<u>The following is the </u><u>central idea</u><u> of the paragraph:</u>

"The first object which saluted my eyes when i arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship."

<u>The following are the </u><u>supporting details</u><u> of the paragraph:</u>

"These filled m with astonishment, which as soon converted into terror when i was carried on board."

"I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and I was not persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me."

Explanation:

The central idea of the paragraph is when Equiano first sees the sea and the slave ship, as it is the moment that will give purpose to the rest of the paragraph; it is the main point of the narration.

The supporting details of the paragraph are what comes after the central idea, and what build up the paragraph's structure as they develop the main idea with more detailed information. In this case, the supporting details show Equiano's fear as he is taken into the ship.

The correct answer is:

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. <u>These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror</u> when I was carried on board. I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and <u>I was now persuaded</u> that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and <u>that they were going to kill me</u>.

The central idea of this paragraph are in bold and the <u>supporting details</u> are <u>underlined</u>.

frutty [35]
I don't know which edition you're referring to. I suppose the lines 43-58 are actually the third paragraph. So, here's the answer:

The narrator's relationship with her husband has changed because of a supernatural influence that she can't exactly explain or fathom. She doesn't really know what happened, when, or why, but at night her husband was not the same person she married. "It’s the moon’s fault, and the blood. It was in his father’s blood," she reasons. Her husband is alienated because of this, and somehow she feels that they don't belong together anymore. He goes out to find those who are like him. "Something comes over the one that’s got the curse in his blood, they say, and he gets up because he can’t sleep, and goes out into the glaring sun, and goes off all alone — drawn to find those like him."

Which of the following sentences can be revised to eliminate redundancies?
Anastaziya [24]

<u>Answer</u>:

Tthe sentence which can be revised to eliminate redundancies is

B: Juan was costumed in disguise when he entered the room.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Redundancy in a sentence refers to same data being used more than once in a sentence just by using a different word. It doesn’t make a sentence grammatically wrong, but more than one similar word seems unnecessary. They make the writing weak and not appealing. So, redundancy should be avoided while writing.

In the given sentences, Juan was costumed in disguise when he entered the room has redundancy. “In disguise” means when one is dressed differently or has made a different appearance. So, given sentence can be written as “Juan was disguised when he entered the room”. Writing “costumed in disguise” makes the sentence redundant.
