Which of the following sentences first expresses the main claim of the passage?

Answers

Hello. You forgot to include the excerpt to which the question refers and the answer options.

The excerpt talks about the need to remove mountain goats from the Olympic National Park and transport them to North Cascades National Park.

The response options are:

(4) Once there, helicopters again lifted the goats, this time in crates, into the mountains to be set free.

(5) In this way, wildlife officials caught 114 goats in the first phase of the Mountain Goat Management Plan, but they ultimately will have relocated 90 percent of the 700 goats from the Olympics to the North Cascades.

(6) This removal process may be complicated, but it is necessary.

(9) Since then, the goat population has flourished and could reach 1,500 by 2028.

(10) Park officials also worry about the goats’ deleterious habits of damaging vegetation and causing erosion.

Answer:

(6) This removal process may be complicated, but it is necessary.

Explanation:

Although all the answer options somehow express the main theme of the excerpt, the first one that does this is sentence (6), which speaks directly about how the passage of goats from one region to another, although necessary, will not be easy , so it must be discussed and explained in the course of the article, where the other phrases shown will be inserted, thus forming the theme and the main message of the full text.

Read Radley Balko's essay "What You Eat Is Your Business," first published in 2004 on the website of the Cato Institute. Read carefully and highlight where Balko includes what "they say."

Answers

Answer:

The nutrition activists are saying that 'your well‐​being, shape, and condition are matters of “public health,” instead of matters of personal responsibility'.

Explanation:

According to the essay's author, Balko, nutrition activists, and some government officials are making matters of private health, to become government responsibilities. They are trying to achieve this by removing junk food from the menu served in public places and making government policies that relieve the citizens of some health bills including health issues that are caused by irresponsible ways of living.

The author of the essay is against these policies for he believes that matters of health are a private responsibility.

In his essay, Radley Balko states that "they say" that proper nutrition is a matter of public health and not personal responsibility.

We can arrive at this answer because:

In using the expression "they say," Radley Balko refers to government officials and nutrition activists, who hold governments accountable for good nutrition for citizens as if it were a public health issue.Radley Balko points out that this thought has led to establishments having limited fast food options, or even removed these options from the menu.

For Radley Balko, this type of thinking is incorrect and undermines people's individual freedom. This is because he believes that good nutrition is a personal responsibility, as each person must choose what to eat in the way they prefer since the impacts of this diet is a matter of private health.

Fortunato is a conssoisseur (professional taster) of wine. How does the narrator, Montressor, use this to lure Fortunato in? Consider what Montressor appeals to as well.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This question refers to Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado". Montresor is the narrator. He wishes to carry out his vengeance against his friend Fortunato. He does not specify the reasons why, simply stating Fortunato had somehow offended him.

In order to lure Fortunato to his family's catacombs, Montresor uses the fact that Fortunato is a wine connoisseur. He claims to have obtained a barrel of Amontillado but, saying he has his doubts, asks Fortunato to come and taste it to make sure. Montresor also appeals to Fortunato's pride. To make sure his friend will want to come along, he mentions another connoisseur, Luchresi. That makes Fortunato jealous, since he believes himself to be the best there is. Thus, Montresor successfully deceives and lures his friend.

Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.

The Indispensable Struggle for Mastery

The Call of the Wild is a story of transformation in which the old Buck—the civilized, moral Buck—must adjust to the harsher realities of life in the frosty North, where survival is the only imperative. Kill or be killed is the only morality among the dogs of the Klondike, as Buck realizes from the moment he steps off the boat and watches the violent death of his friend Curly. The wilderness is a cruel, uncaring world, where only the strong prosper. It is, one might say, a perfect Darwinian world, and London’s depiction of it owes much to Charles Darwin, who proposed the theory of evolution to explain the development of life on Earth and envisioned a natural world defined by fierce competition for scarce resources. The term often used to describe Darwin’s theory, although he did not coin it, is “the survival of the fittest,” a phrase that describes Buck’s experience perfectly. In the old, warmer world, he might have sacrificed his life out of moral considerations; now, however, he abandons any such considerations in order to survive.

But London is not content to make the struggle for survival the central theme of his novel; instead, his protagonist struggles toward a higher end, namely mastery. We see this struggle particularly in Buck’s conflict with Spitz, in his determination to become the lead dog on Francois and Perrault’s team, and, at the end of the novel, in the way that he battles his way to the leadership of the wolf pack. Buck does not merely want to survive; he wants to dominate—as do his rivals, dogs like Spitz. In this quest for domination, which is celebrated by London’s narrative, we can observe the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher of the late nineteenth century. Nietzsche’s worldview held that the world was composed of masters, those who possessed what he called “the will to power,” and slaves, those who did not possess this will. Nietzsche delighted in using animal metaphors, comparing masters to “birds of prey” and “blonde beasts” and comparing slaves to sheep and other herd animals. London’s Buck, with his indomitable strength and fierce desire for mastery, is a canine version of Nietzsche’s masterful men, his Napoleon Bonapartes and Julius Caesars. Buck is a savage creature, in a sense, and hardly a moral one, but London, like Nietzsche, expects us to applaud this ferocity. His novel suggests that there is no higher destiny for man or beast than to struggle, and win, in the battle for mastery.

The Power of Ancestral Memory and Primitive Instincts

When Buck enters the wild, he must learn countless lessons in order to survive, and he learns them well. But the novel suggests that his success in the frozen North is not merely a matter of learning the ways of the wild; rather, Buck gradually recovers primitive instincts and memories that his wild ancestors possessed, which have been buried as dogs have become civilized creatures. The technical term for what happens to Buck is atavism—the reappearance in a modern creature of traits that defined its remote forebears. London returns to this theme again and again, constantly reminding us that Buck is “retrogressing,” as the novel puts it, into a wilder way of life that all dogs once shared. “He was older than the days he had seen and the breaths he had drawn,” we are told. “He linked the past with the present, and the eternity behind him throbbed through him in a mighty rhythm to which he swayed as the tides and seasons swayed.” Buck even has occasional visions of this older world, when humans wore animal skins and lived in caves, and when wild dogs hunted their prey in the primeval forests. His connection to his ancestral identity is thus more than instinctual; it is mystical. The civilized world, which seems so strong, turns out to be nothing more than a thin veneer, which is quickly worn away to reveal the ancient instincts lying dormant underneath. Buck hears the call of the wild, and London implies that, in the right circumstances, we might hear it too.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

At the start of the 20th century, the union realized that breathing stone dust while working was extremely dangerous to workers, and tried to raise awareness about conditions is the detail from "Drawn to Barre" best supports the idea that stonecutters unions’ fought for workersrights. Hence, option D is correct.

What are workers’ rights?

Elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour, effective outlawment of child labour, the elimination of employment and occupation-based discrimination, the right to associational freedom, and.

Because of your race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, handicap, age, or genetic information, you won't encounter bullying or unfair treatment. For equivalent work, equal compensation is given.

Employers may legally hire, fire, suspend, or discipline any employee at any time and for any reason, whether or not that cause is legitimate. Employers are not allowed to treat any employee unfairly based on their race, sex, gender, age, religion, or national origin.

Thus, option D is correct.

In what way is Zaroff portrayed as Rainsford's foil? Zaroff has no conscience, while Rainsford does have a conscience. Zaroff is an enthusiastic hunter, while Rainsford is indifferent to hunting. Zaroff is an inconsiderate host, while Rainsford is a very good guest. Zaroff has little hunting experience, while Rainsford has a lot.

Answers

Answer:

Zaroff has no conscience, while Rainsford does have a conscience.

Zaroff is an enthusiastic hunter, while Rainsford is indifferent to hunting.

Zaroff is an inconsiderate host, while Rainsford is a very good guest.

Zaroff has little hunting experience, while Rainsford has a lot.

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."

"I can't believe you are serious, General Zaroff. This is a grisly joke."

"Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting."

"Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder."

The general laughed with entire good nature. He regarded Rainsford quizzically. "I refuse to believe that so modern and civilized a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life. Surely your experiences in the war—"

"Did not make me condone cold-blooded murder," finished Rainsford stiffly.

answer - Zaroff has no conscience, while Rainsford does have a conscience.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, it can be rightly seen that Zaroff does not in any way, oppose the murdering of other people. He sees such actions as a type of hunting that is good.  

Zaroff has a character, quite different from that of Rainsford because he has no form of regard for the lives of human beings, whether they are alive or not, it makes no difference to him.

Answer

A. Zaroff has no conscience, while Rainsford does have a conscience.

4) If you journey from place to place looking for fortune, you are not very smart.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read the short story and then choose the sentence that states the theme. This short story is about a man who dreams that he is going to be rich if he travels to Beijing.

The correct sentence is the third one because when he goes to Beijing he finds out there is a treasure in his yard and he finally gets rich. The other options are not correct because dreams could have come true for the policeman, the man from the story used to be rich but he lost everything and the policeman was not smart because he did not travel to find the treasure.
