Every year since its beginning, our town's Old Home Days celebration
has resulted in traffic accidents. Luckily, no one has been seriously
injured, but it is clear that we need better traffic control during the
festivities. Parents who pull over on Main Street to drop off kids cause
other drivers to pull around them, creating a dangerous situation. To
avoid this, the police who stop traffic for pedestrians to cross Main
Street should be located at more than one spot. It is the responsibility
of the drivers to be careful, but we can make their job easier by making
some simple changes
Which best states the central idea of the passage?
O A. No one has ever been seriously injured during Old Home Days.
B. Children being left unattended at Old Home Days are causing
problems
C. The town needs to make changes to improve traffic safety during
Old Home Days.
D. Police need to do a better job of directing traffic at Old Home
Days

Answer:

The answer would be C.

Explanation:

Hope it hepled!!! :)

The option which best states the central idea of the passage is “The town needs to make changes to improve traffic safety during Old Home Days.” Therefore, C is the correct option.

The daily passing of vehicles on the busy roads causes traffic congestion which causes various problems such as noise pollution of vehicles and so on. Sometimes the lack of regulations also causes accidents. Traffic safety is a procedure of ensuring that people are safe on the roads while driving and it also ensures the safety of pedestrians on the roads.

The given passage talks about traffic safety in the home town during the festive days since more people use the roads during this time as many people come back to their family in the town.

Therefore C is the correct option.

Which excerpt from Dispatches contains sensory language to describe the geography of Vietnam?
There would be the muted rush of illumination rounds, fired from 60-mm. mortars inside the wire, dropping
magnesium-brilliant above the NVA trenches for a few seconds, outlining the gaunt, flat spread of the mahogany
trees, giving the landscape a ghastly clarity and dying out.
It was awesome, worse than anything the Lord had ever put down on Egypt, and at night, you'd hear the Marines
talking, watching it, yelling, "Get some!" until they grew quiet and someone would say, "Spooky understands." The
nights were very beautiful.
Once in a while, I guess I saw it happen three or four times in all-there would be a secondary explosion, a direct
hit on a supply of NVA ammunition. And at night it was beautiful. Even the incoming was beautiful at night,
beautiful and deeply dreadful.
Nights were when the air and artillery strikes were heaviest because that was when we knew that the NVA was
above ground and moving. At night you could lie out on some sandbags and watch the C-47's mounted with
Vulcans doing their work.

Why does academic argument depend upon legitimate propositions?

In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln explains why the dead soldiers will be remembered. Which of the following paragraphs best addresses this idea? Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.” Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow —this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here. It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.​

Several studies have shown that women tend to do better than men in memorizing words they hear. In one study, when asked to memorize a list of sixteen items, most women knew the list the second time they heard it, and most men had to hear it five times. After memorizing a new list, they were asked to recite the first list, and women again scored higher than the men did. While scientists have shown this to be the case, they do not know why this is so. It could have to do with brain differences, or it could have to do with socialization.
