Read the following paragraph:
(1) A second reason that we should switch our school mascot from
the Hilldale Chickens to the Hilldale Bobcats is that bobcats have an
important historical connection to our region and our town. (2) Even
though they've been forced to move on because of overdevelopment,
these hills we call home were once teeming with the rugged animals,
and they greeted the region's first Norwegian settlers who would later
establish Hilldale. (3) Our first mayor, Olaf Crumble, kept a bobcat as a
pet until his second wife objected. (4) Some people say we need to
embrace the present, not the past, and they believe the chicken
mascot should remain to represent our thriving egg-packing industry
(5) Industries come and go, but our history is forever and stands as the
bedrock of our common identity. (6) In closing, the bobcat connects us
to that persevering, pioneer spirit that we've lost, and replacing the
chicken with a bobcat will be a positive step toward reclaiming it.
Which of the following transitions should be added to the beginning of
sentence 5 to best enhance the organization of the paragraph?
O A. In conclusion
B. In addition
OC. On the contrary,
D. For example

Answers

Answer: B. In addition

Explanation: I believe this makes the most sense out of all the options.

O A. In conclusion wouldn't make sense because the passage isn't concluding.

D. For example wouldn't make sense because no example is given.

That leaves B. In addition and OC. On the contrary,

"Some people say we need to embrace the present, not the past, and they believe the chicken mascot should remain to represent our thriving egg-packing industry. On the contrary, industries come and go, but our history is forever and stands as the bedrock of our common identity."

v.s.

"Some people say we need to embrace the present, not the past, and they believe the chicken mascot should remain to represent our thriving egg-packing industry. In addition industries come and go, but our history is forever and stands as the bedrock of our common identity."

The writer seems to be adding additional information. As seen by the two underlined sentences having to do with industries.

Can anybody write a paragraph on how Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby has developed and changed in the first 3 chapter pleaseeeee

Answers

Answer:

He tells the reader in Chapter 1, he is tolerant, open-minded, quiet, and a good listener, and, as a result, others tend to talk to him and tell him their secrets. Gatsby, in particular, comes to trust him and treat him as a confidant. Nick generally assumes a secondary role throughout the novel, preferring to describe and comment on events rather than dominate the action.

Which of the following does Orwell use to link the parallel structures in this excerpt from Animal Farm?

A. correlative conjunction

B. coordinating conjunction

C. word to introduce a comparison

D. phrase to introduce a comparison

Answer:

What Orwell uses to link the parallel structures is a:

A. correlative conjunction.

Explanation:

A conjunction is a word that we use to connect other words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. A correlative conjunction is basically a pair of conjunctions used to connect two ideas in a sentence. Examples of correlative conjunctions are: neither/nor; either/or; both/and; not only/ but also.

In the sentence extracted from Orwell's allegorical novella "Animal Farm", the correlative conjunction "either/or" is used to introduce the parallel structures "that food would become more plentiful" and "that the windmill would save work."

He refused to believe either that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would save work.

Answer:

B. coordinating conjunction
