Thesis Statement:
Our local waterways are severely polluted, and actions must be taken to reduce the runoff that contributes to this pollution.

Which of the following is the best example of a topic sentence for an essay with this thesis?


1) Rain gardens are particularly useful near solid surfaces such as parking lots.

2) Rain gardens are located in 30 percent of the residential parkways in Allentown, Ill.

3) Rain gardens include plants and materials that help absorb water into the ground before it is washed into sewers.

4) Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways

Answers

ANSWER: #4
I would say #4 Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways is correct because in the thesis statement it talks about how the water ways are polluted and number 4 is the only one that talks about pollution. (Sorry if I’m wrong) ♡♡

Answer:

I would say the answer is number 4: Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways

Explanation:

A topic sentence is meant to express the main idea of a paragraph, so I already scratch off number 1 and 2, since they do not have to do with polluted waterways and actions to stop it. This would mean it is between number 3 and 4. Although number 3 gives information about rain gardens, it does not mention that they are a way to stop or reduce pollution in local waterways. Therefore, the answer is number 4. I hope this helped!

It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles.

Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.

As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life in the desert is a struggle for humans. People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region. Despite the harsh conditions, a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home. In fact, some species can only be found in the desert.

What evidence does the author use to support the idea that there are people who live in the desert?

A. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states.
B. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region.
C. A surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home.

Quote: "Youth is the seed time of good habits, as well in nations as in individuals"

How does Thomas Paine compare a nation’s youth with an individual’s youth?

Answers

For Thomas Paine, both a young nation and a young individual are elements that are building and preparing their own future.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Paine compares youth to a seedbed.This is because the seedbed has elements that will develop in the future and show satisfactory results.For him, both a young person and a young nation are similar and represent a seedbed of the same course.

That's because Paine believes that a young person is preparing his own future, creating strategies that will develop and have satisfactory results. A young nation, on the other hand, is made up of a group of people, of all ages, who care about the nation's future and therefore work to make that future as promising as possible.

Which information best supports the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live?

A. There are differences of latitude, soil, and climate among the deserts.
B. The desert has pockets of people that are dispersed and isolated.
C. There are extreme temperatures, high winds, and localized storms.
D. The desert has a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C: There are extreme temperatures, high winds, and localized storms.

Explanation:

the other answers do not support the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live because they do not say why or how, while answer C tells some examples of why the desert is a difficult place to live in, such as extreme temperatures or high winds. This is why answer C supports the idea that the desert is a difficult place to live. I hope this helped!
