Michel is used to getting good grades by taking careful notes and memorizing the information for the tests. However, he is findi

ng that his college classes are different. He has to write several response papers about the reading for his history class and has been receiving poor marks for just paraphrasing the text and not sharing his thoughts on the subject. Michel knows that a few other students have formed a study group to discuss the reading and review each other’s response papers, but decides not to join because he doesn’t know how he would contribute. In talking with his mother one night, he explains his frustration. “I always thought the point of history was that it was based on facts. My professor is always asking why I think something happened. It happened. Why is there no one answer?”

The correct answer is:

"Brutus explains that he loved Caesar, but loves Rome more. He had to kill Caesar because, although Caesar was a brave man and his friend, Caesar was too ambitious"

This is the best sentence to paraphrase the excerpt from "Julius Caesar", act 3, scene 2 because it stays true to the original meaning while using different words and structures to say it.

The first and last option are not correct because they both use passages from the original extract, and therefore are not paraphrases.

The second option is incorrect as well, because it omits details explained in the original excerpt.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs? Alvarez traces how Trujillo demand
OlgaM077 [116]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by J* Alvarez.

Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.

The day came when my mother had to march. The parade went on for hours in the hot sun until my mother was sure she was going to faint. Her feet were swollen and hurting. The back of her white dress was damp with sweat. Finally when she thought she could not go one more step, the grandstand came into sight, a clutter of dress uniforms, a vague figure on the podium.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs?

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.  Alvarez describes how her family reacted to Trujillo’s demands and how that affected their lives when they left the Dominican Republic.  Alvarez retells her mother’s humiliating experience of paying tribute to a dictator she did not support.  Alvarez describes how Trujillo’s mandatory taxes and tributes affected her mother in a negative way."

Answer:

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the narrator explains to us how Trujillo assuming the position of a dictator requires that all citizens of the region offer tributes to him, if they want to remain in the country with a life with the minimum of dignity.

This demand greatly affected the life of the narrator's family, especially his mother, who was forced to pay tribute to a dictator she does not support, just to protect her family.
