Every year tornadoes rip through the countryside and hurricanes attack the coast, taking people’s lives and damaging entire comm

unities. Tornadoes and hurricanes may well be two of the most destructive forces on Earth.
Both tornadoes and hurricanes are types of cyclones, air masses that spin around an area of low pressure. Tornadoes stem from thunderclouds that occur over land. Tornadoes most commonly form in the heart of the United States. Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas are part of a region known as Tornado Alley because so many tornadoes occur there. Hurricanes, on the other hand, form at sea. They take shape in the Atlantic Ocean and most commonly affect the Caribbean. Hurricanes can sweep the eastern seaboard from Florida to New England.
Tornadoes reach higher wind speeds than hurricanes. A tornado’s winds range from forty miles per hour to nearly three hundred miles per hour, while hurricane winds range from seventy-three miles per hour to about two hundred miles per hour. Meteorologists record several tornadoes each year with speeds close to three hundred miles per hour. Two factors make hurricanes more destructive than tornadoes: the difference in the size of each storm and the length of time each storm can last. Tornadoes are smaller in size and duration than hurricanes. A tornado seldom becomes larger than .25 miles in diameter, although the diameter can range from twenty feet to one mile. It travels an average of seven to eight miles before dissipating. A hurricane, however, can extend more than five hundred miles in diameter and can affect thousands of square miles and millions of people. While tornadoes usually do not last longer than a few minutes, a hurricane may last weeks, causing flooding, torrential rainfall, and billions of dollars in property damage. A tornado warning, the period when a tornado has been seen or is highly likely, generally lasts only forty-five minutes.
Even though a hurricane can cause more damage than a tornado, both are deadly, violent storms. Hurricanes and tornadoes destroy lives and property and demand our respect.

Some examples of transitional words are:

  • But
  • Therefore
  • Nevertheless, etc

<h3>What is a Transitional Word?</h3>

This refers to the use of words that links dependent and independent clauses in a given sentence.

Therefore, it is easy to discover a word that is NOT a transitional word if it does not show a link between two different ideas.

Hence, we can see that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to have a better understanding of what a transitional word is.

Which sentence would make the best hook for an introductory paragraph on whale watching?
elena-s [515]

<span><span>C. Have you ever wanted to play tag with the whales?</span></span>

<span>Choice C is the best choice as a “hook” to catch the reader’s interest in reading your essay. First, it is directed to the reader as an invitation to get involved. Secondly, it gives a new insight that whales can also be playful like dolphins. Thirdly, whales although not really as threatening as sharks are huge animals. To play tag with them would be very challenging and an almost impossible thing to do. Choices A and B are just declarative statements that inform and do not have an emotional connection to the reader; while D can be used as a supporting statement to choice C.</span>

Which of the following sentences from the selection uses Interrogative?
nata0808 [166]
You can use a little trick here: interrogative is essentually a question! and here one of the sentences has a question mark at the end. Is it a question? it is! so it's the correct answer! (also there are no other questions here).

Bhanubhakta wrote ramayan (into passive voice)​
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Changed into the passive voice, the sentence becomes:

Ramayan was written by Bhanubhakta.

Explanation:

In the active voice, the subject of the sentence is also the one performing the action. For example: I made a cake.

In the passive voice, the subject is the one receiving or being affected by the action. The performer of the action is the agent of sentence, which appears after "by": A cake was made by me.

Thus, to change a sentence from the active into the passive voice we must:

1. Find the subject of the active voice and change it into the agent: Bhanubhakta --> by Bhanubhakta

2. Find the object of the active voice and change it into the subject: Ramayan

3. Find the verb, identify the tense, maintain the tense, but add the auxiliary "be": wrote (simple past) --> was written

Therefore, we have:

Ramayan was written by Bhanubhakta.
