Read the following paragraph and select the correct answer. She came to know what heavy housework meant and the odious cares of

the kitchen. She washed the dishes, using her dainty fingers and rosy nails on greasy pots and pans. She washed the soiled linen, the shirts and the dishcloths, which she dried upon a line; she carried the slops down to the street every morning and carried up the water, stopping for breath at every landing. And dressed like a woman of the people, she went to the fruiterer, the grocer, the butcher, a basket on her arm, bargaining, meeting with impertinence, defending her miserable money, sou by sou. (from "The Necklace," by Guy de Maupassant) What is the topic sentence of this paragraph? She knew now what meant the duties of the household, the heavy work of the kitchen. Her pretty hands soon lost all semblance of the care of bygone days. She washed the soiled linen and dried it in her room. She defended cent by cent her miserable money.

The correct option is this: SHE KNEW NOW WHAT MEANT THE DUTIES OF THE HOUSEHOLD, THE HEAVY WORK OF THE KITCHEN.
A topic sentence is a sentence in a paragraph which expresses the major topic or idea that is discussed in that paragraph. A topic sentence can be easily recognized in a paragraph because it is always the opening sentence of the paragraph. The major function of the other sentences in a paragraph is to support the topic sentence.

As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti, some moved to Cuba's Oriente Province, others to North America—to Louisiana
kherson [118]

According to the excerpt, it can be inferred that the sentence that supports the idea that sugar was more than just a killer in Louisiana is option 4. "people needed..."

<h3>What does the word Killer mean in the snippet?</h3>

According to the context described in the fragment, reference is made to the fact that sugar in Louisiana was affected by the weather, so the slaves were required to perform faster at the rate of the mills to prevent the crop from being damaged with the cold.

From the above, it can be inferred that this characteristic of the climate and the cultivation of sugar was a difficulty for the lives of the slaves who had to demand too much of themselves to work at full speed.

Note: This question is incomplete because the question and the options are missing. Here is the complete information:

Which line from the passage best provides evidence to support the claim that sugar was more of "a killer" in Louisiana than in the Caribbean?

  1. "In every single American slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising. . . ."
  2. ". . . enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults."
  3. "not only did the slave states need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills. . . ."
  4. "people needed to work faster than the weather. . . ."
