Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

How do paragraph one and paragraph two work together to present the author's ideas?
Paragraph one explains the cause of investigation. Paragraph two shows the results.
Paragraph one offers a solution. Paragraph two explains a problem the solution creates.
Paragraph one presents facts. Paragraph two presents additional facts on the same topic.
Paragraph one and paragraph two do not have a clear connection to each other.

The correct answer would be option A. "Paragraph one explains the cause of investigation and Paragraph two shows the results". This is because in the first paragraph the author is letting you know about an event that no one knew the reason for its appearance (so it is a cause for investigation) and in the second paragraph the author explains the results of the research conducted to explain said event. Option B is not correct because the first paragraph would be the problem and the second paragraph would be the solution. Option C is not correct either because the second paragraph is more than facts, it is answers. And finally, Option D is not correct because there is a clear connection between both paragraphs (since they are about the same subject).

Answer:

In the picture, there is a man standing on top of a crushed car. He appears to be wearing a maroon suit and orange vest, with a turqoise shirt underneath. His face is powdered white, with red lips rising up his cheeks. He has green, slicked back hair, and blue eyeshadow. The crushed-car he is standing on looks as if it's a police vehicle, with only the red lights on. The background is foggy and hazy, with shimmers of green and black.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

I would say yes.

This is because of the name itself -- a "group" project. It's not a "solo" or an "alone" project. You are responsible for the other people's work in your group. It is important to make sure everyone contributes their own work in a group project, and not someone else's.

Best of luck

Read the following summary.
MrMuchimi

<u>Answer</u>:

After reading the following summary, it can be concluded about Jane's feelings that Jane felt unhappy and frustrated in school.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre,” talks about a girl named Jane who values self-worth and dignity, has a commitment to justice and principle and trusts in God. She became an orphan at an early age which made her feel as if she was exiled and the cruel treatment that she received from her aunt and cousins pushed her to the feeling of being alienated.

She faced the same when sent to a school which triggered her intense need of freedom and autonomy. Throughout the novel she struggles as to what kind of freedom she wants and it seems that she’s trying to come to terms with the elements of her own life. Jane also voices her opinions on social class, religion and gender of that period.
