Answer:

I too believe the best option to be letter a) She just couldn't stand another minute of the incessant howling.

Explanation:

At a quick glance, all options seem to fit the situation and to close the paragraph well. All of them relate to how Olivia feels about the band. However, the language throughout the paragraph describing Olivia's emotions and opinion is intense. Olivia doesn't simply dislike the singing; she absolutely hates it. It sounds like a person (howling) in pain or a dog (howling) lost in the woods! If she feels as if her eardrums are about to burst, that means she can't stand it anymore. Thus, to keep the language in the conclusion sentence cohesive with the rest of the paragraph, the best option is indeed letter a.

The first option, "[she] just couldn't stand another minute of the incessant howling", seems to be the best one to finish the paragraph. First of all, the paragraph has very specific and powerful vocabulary like "bopping his head" and "burst". So a concluding sentence should also have strong vocabulary. In this case "howling" is a very descriptive and powerful verb. Moreover, in the paragraph, the narrator mentions that "[the] lead singer sounded as (...) a dog lost in the woods". Using the word "howling", which is something done by dogs, in the concluding sentence would be consistant with the comparison between the singer and a lost dog.

While some say winter will be six weeks longer thanks
kiruha [24]

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.

Rus_ich [418]
The used rhetorical device is Hyperbole. 

Saying that something is a billion times better is hyperbole because it is not really that much better, you would just be over exaggerating.

Gre4nikov [31]
You should definitely not type your whole email in all capitals!

Also, you should keep you message brief, this is true: people receive a lot of emails and prefer to read them fast.

I think that the first option is correct (a): Emails don't usually have headings in the text: this would make them too long.
