Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
While some say winter will be six weeks longer thanks to the groundhog, no one really knows. One day it may be snowing, and the next it may be sunny and warm. Every day is different and, while we are able to see approaching hurricanes using radar, the weather will forever go to the beat of its own drum.
What is the main idea?
The coastal regions experience the most damage as a result of hurricanes.
Hurricanes are intensely powerful storms that are only growing more intense.
While we may know what's coming ahead of time, weather remains unpredictable.
Meteorologists can make predictions of hurricane movement, but the complex conditions make certainty impossible.
Answer:
While we may know what's coming ahead of time, weather remains unpredictable.
Explanation:
The sentence "the weather will forever go to the beat of its own drum" shows that the weather is completely unpredictable and will act according to its own wishes, even if we try to predict what it will do. This shows us that the weather is something beyond our control and that it is ready to surprise us, presenting a snowy day and another sunny day, without giving us the slightest warning.
In his travels Author William Least Heat-Moon stumbled upon the little store in a county names Nameless in Tenessee, eh tehn wrote about this journey he took with his family and when he describes this place he starts off by describing their store, and then Ginny and Thurmond Watts telling him the story of how the name of the county came to be.
Answer:
The speaker stops to see the snowfall in the woods but knows his responsibilities won't allow him to stay long.
Explanation:
The poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost is a poem where the speaker is in a dilemma between his duty and what he wants to do. Stuck between admiring the snowy woods and his duty living in society places him in a contrasting position.
While the central idea of the poem is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature, he also acknowledges that it is <em>"queer"</em> even for his horse to stop in the middle of the woods. But as a man living in a society, he <em>"ha[s] promises to keep, and miles before [I] sleep"</em>.
And through the presentation of how the speaker stops and admires the snowfall in the woods, he also knows that his responsibilities won't allow him to have this enjoyment/ leisure for a longer duration.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
This question is mostly interpretative. However, the majority could agree that the most appropriate answer would be C, as the figurative language and imagery used by the author are used in a manner that they're descriptive enough to keep the suspense of the scene, but not long enough to distract the audience from the events of the plot.
