Answer:
Which sentence is the topic sentence? 3
Which sentence is the concluding sentence? 4
Which sentence does not support the topic of the paragraph? 7
Explanation:
It's very simple to understand, The conclusion sentence should either restate the topic sentence or just wrap everything up. It makes the most sense that the topic sentence is 3 because it's a generic sentence, whereas the other sentences are supporting details. If the topic of the paragraph is 3, 7 is the sentence that does not support that topic.

Which text from the passage develops the element of suspense?
adapted from Chapter I of The Legends of King Arthur
by James Knowles
The Prophecies of Merlin, and the Birth of Arthur
King Vortigern the usurper sat upon his throne in London, when, suddenly, upon a certain day, ran in a breathless messenger, and cried aloud—
"Arise, Lord King, for the enemy is come. They have sworn by a great oath, Lord, to slay thee, ere this year be done. Even now they march towards thee as the north wind of winter for bitterness and haste."
At those words Vortigern's face grew white as ashes. Rising in confusion and disorder, he sent for all the best craftsmen and mechanics, and commanded them to go and build him in the furthest of his lands a great and strong castle where he might fly for refuge—"and, moreover," cried he, "let the work be done within a hundred days from now, or I will surely spare no life amongst you all."
Then all the host of craftsmen, fearing for their lives, found out a proper site whereon to build the tower, and eagerly began to lay in the foundations. But no sooner were the walls raised up above the ground than all their work was overwhelmed and broken down by night invisibly, no man perceiving how, or by whom, or what.
The king was filled with mixed rage and fear.He called for the astrologers and wizards, and took counsel with them.The wizards worked their spells, and declared that nothing but the blood of a youth born without mortal father, smeared on the foundations of the castle, could make it stand. Messengers were therefore sent through all the land to find such a child. As some of them went down a certain village street, they saw a band of lads fighting. They heard them shout at one—"Avaunt, thou imp!—avaunt! Son of no mortal man! Go, find thy father, and leave us in peace."
At that the messengers looked steadfastly on the lad, and asked who he was. One said his name was Merlin. Another said that his birth and parentage were known by no man. A third said that the foul fiend alone was his father. Hearing the things, the officers seized Merlin, and carried him before the king by force.
But no sooner was he brought to him than he asked in a loud voice, for what cause he was thus dragged there?
"My magicians," answered Vortigern, "told me to seek out a man that had no human father, and to sprinkle my castle with his blood, that it may stand."
"Order those magicians," said Merlin, "to come before me, and I will convict them of a lie."
The king was astonished at his words, but commanded the magicians to come and sit down before him. Then said Merlin to the king—
"I pray, Lord, that workmen may be ordered to dig deep down into the ground till they shall come to a great pool of water."
This then was done, and the pool discovered far beneath the surface of the ground.
Then said Merlin to the king, "Command this pool to be drained, and at the bottom shall be found two dragons, which now are sleeping, but which at night awake and fight and tear each other."
The king commanded the pool to be forthwith drained. Surely at the bottom of it did they presently discover the two dragons, fast asleep, as Merlin had declared.
But Vortigern sat upon the brink of the pool till night to see what else would happen.
Then those two dragons, one of which was white, the other red, rose up and began to fight. They cast forth fire with their breath. In the end the red dragon was worsted, and the white dragon disappeared.
When their battle was done, the king desired Merlin to tell him what it meant. Merlin burst into tears and cried out this prophecy, which first foretold the coming of King Arthur.
A. He called for the astrologers and wizards, and took counsel with them.
B. "Avaunt, thou imp!—avaunt! Son of no mortal man! Go, find thy father, and leave us in peace."
C. "I pray, Lord, that workmen may be ordered to dig deep down into the ground till they shall come to a great pool of water."
D. In the end the red dragon was worsted, and the white dragon disappeared.

Explanation:
When Johnny is attacked by the Socs, he is the only major character involved; however, Ponyboy describes how the greasers responded. Why is Ponyboy's description important?
Since you know how only some of the boys responded, you know the story is told from third-person limited point of view.
You know the most about how Johnny reacted, which only gives insight into his perspective.
The reader knows how most members reacted, which gives you insight into their perspective.
Since you know how all the boys responded, you know the story is told from third-person omnisicent point of view.
Answer:
c) The reader knows how most members reacted, which gives your insight into their perspective.
Explanation:
The description of how the other greasers reacted to Johnny being attacked by the Socs is important because it gives the reader insight into their perspective. The reader knows that they are all concerned for Johnny and are willing to help him in any way possible. This information helps to create a more well-rounded picture of the greasers and their relationships with each other
Answer a) is incorrect because the reader does not know how only some of the boys responded. The reader knows how all the boys responded, which means the story is told from third-person omniscient point of view.Answer b) is incorrect because the reader knows how all the boys responded, not just Johnny. This means that the story is told from third-person omniscient point of view.Answer d) is incorrect because the reader knows how all the boys responded, not just Johnny. This means that the story is told from third-person omniscient point of view.Write a sequence describing how you got ready for school this morning. Use at least 3 transition words/phrases.

Read the excerpt from Chapter 4.
Anne of Green Gables
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla had decided to adopt a boy to help on their farm called Green Gables. When a girl, Anne, arrives, they are surprised. In this excerpt, Anne has just awoken after her first night at Green Gables.
Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes’ time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla’s requirements. As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.
“I’m pretty hungry this morning,” she announced as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her. “The world doesn’t seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night. I’m so glad it’s a sunshiny morning. But I like rainy mornings real well, too. All sorts of mornings are interesting, don’t you think? You don’t know what’s going to happen through the day, and there’s so much scope for imagination. But I’m glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day. I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under. It’s all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it’s not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?”
“For pity’s sake hold your tongue,” said Marilla. “You talk entirely too much for a little girl.”
Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural. Matthew also held his tongue,—but this was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.
As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window. This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child’s body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination. Who would want such a child about the place?
Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things! Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before, and that he would go on wanting it. That was Matthew’s way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.
When the meal was ended Anne came out of her reverie and offered to wash the dishes.
“Can you wash dishes right?” asked Marilla distrustfully.
“Pretty well. I’m better at looking after children, though. I’ve had so much experience at that. It’s such a pity you haven’t any here for me to look after.”
“I don’t feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I’ve got at present. You’re problem enough in all conscience. What’s to be done with you I don’t know. Matthew is a most ridiculous man.”
“I think he’s lovely,” said Anne reproachfully. “He is so very sympathetic. He didn’t mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it. I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him.”
“You’re both queer enough, if that’s what you mean by kindred spirits,” said Marilla with a sniff. “Yes, you may wash the dishes. Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well. I’ve got enough to attend to this morning for I’ll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer. You’ll come with me and we’ll settle what’s to be done with you. After you’ve finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed.”
Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick. But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner time.
In Anne of Green Gables, how does Anne respond to the events on her first morning at Green Gables?
She gets ready for breakfast quickly.
She announces that she is not hungry.
She feels sad to be in an unfamiliar place.
She talks to Matthew but not Marilla.

in what ways do interest groups influence the government?
Ill give brainlest to best answer
Answer:Interest groups influence government using variants on one of two strategies, the inside game and the outside game. The inside gamerefers to attempts to persuade government officials through direct inside contact. Another term for the inside game is lobbying.Washington is filled with thousands of lobbyists, covering every imaginable issue and viewpoint. Lobbyists usually work for interest groups, corporations, or law firms that specialize in professional lobbying.The Origin of LobbyingThe term lobbying comes from the way interest groups played the inside game in the nineteenth century. Many members of Congress and other government officials would gather and eat together at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. People seeking to influence the government waited for the members in the lobby of the hotel, talking to them as they came in and out.Successful LobbyingTo lobby successfully, interest groups need a great deal of money. Washington, D.C., is one of the most expensive cities in America, so simply maintaining an office there can be very costly. Interest groups also pay for meals, trips, and other operational expenses, which can be significant. Money alone does not make an interest group influential, but a lack of money is usually crippling. Lobbyists also need to be reputable because a lobbyist who lies to a member of Congress, for instance, could be shunned or lose clients. Therefore, being honest is in the best interest of lobbyists.Sponsored Content7 Magic Experiences to Have at Walt Disney WorldBy Walt Disney WorldTargets of LobbyingLobbyists try to influence officials working in all three branches and in the federal bureaucracy.Interest groups spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year to lobby members of Congress on a range of issues. These groups try to affect the legislation being generated in Congress. Sometimes lobbyist speak with congresspeople directly, but lobbyists also testify at congressional hearings. The Senate publishes ethics guidelines to explain the complex federal laws that govern the interaction among congresspeople and lobbyists. Many corporations and foreign countries donate money to interest groups and thus help sponsor lobbyists in Washington.LOBBYING THE EXECUTIVE BRANCHAlthough some lobbyists have direct access to the president, most have access only to the lower levels of the executive branch. Interest groups particularly target regulatory agencies, which have the ability to set policy affecting commerce and trade throughout the country. Some scholars have claimed that lobbying of regulatory agencies has resulted in agency capture, effectively handing control of the agency over to the industries it was intended to regulate.LOBBYING THE JUDICIAL BRANCHInterest groups work to influence the courts in a number of ways. Interest groups often file amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs,presenting an argument in favor of a particular issue. Sometimes interest groups file lawsuits against the government or other parties. For example, the NAACP worked for years to bring civil rights cases to the Supreme Court. The American Civil Liberties Union also makes extensive use of the courts.
Explanation:
have a nice day
Answer:
Interest groups speak in favour of themselves. By this, I mean that interest groups will attempt to persuade the government to pass legislations that would benefit them. They bring facts and aspects that could improve the economy but it would most greatly benefit the voices in the interest groups.

Imagine living in a town with only one bookstore.
You walk in to see one lonely book sitting on the only shelf.
Hungry, you walk down the street to the only fast food restaurant in town. Strangely, there’s only one kind of hamburger on the menu. You have no choice but to order that.
Then you go to your English class and find that you’re the only student this semester.
How boring life would be if there were only one of everything!
Well, never fear, plurals are here to save the day!
Just like the word "Glass" there are many different nouns, and all nouns have a plural form! For example: Glass → Glasses!
What are Nouns?
Web Definition: "a word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things ( common noun ), or to name a particular one of these ( proper noun )."
Nouns are singular, meaning they are only 1 thing, you know them as a naming word. It names a person, an animal, a place, or a thing!
Examples: Teacher, Dog, Restaurant, and baseball!
These are all nouns or singular words!
What are Plural Words?
Web Definition: "(of a word or form) denoting more than one, or (in languages with dual numbers) more than two."
Plural words are the opposite of nouns, they are not singular! Plural words are more than 1 thing.
Examples: Teacher's, Dog's, Restaurant's, Baseball's
These are all plural words or not singular words!
Fast Fun Facts:
▪The plural, gender-neutral form of nieces and nephews is niblings.
▪The word noun comes from a Latin word!
