From the deck behind his house, Mike Cooke can watch the sun set behind his favorite holes at the Onion Creek Club golf course.

Lately, he's been wondering if he'll ever get to play golf on his favorite part of the course again. Heavy rains in November damaged the golf course badly. Officials at the public golf club have let it be known that the damaged holes might not be rebuilt because it will cost so much.
Many of the club members are not at all happy about that. Some of the 625 playing members, including Mike Cooke, are thinking about pooling their talents to help the club. They do not want to lose a chance to play the same holes on the same golf course that they've enjoyed for so many years. Also, Onion Creek has a wonderful golf program for students. It's free and teaches young people the game. Skills learned on the golf course carry over to problem solving in real life.
The Onion Creek course has flooded before. Fourteen years ago the club repaired over $1 million in flood damages. Officials think that current repairs would cost at least that much. Mike Cooke owns a landscaping company and some heavy machinery needed for repairs. Also among the members are architects, engineers, and construction workers. They will use their knowledge and experience to give back to this community and repair the course at a fraction of the cost.

What is the passage mainly about?
A.
the golf club members repairing flood damage at the Onion Creek golf course
B.
how much Mike Cooke enjoys living in a house right beside the Onion Creek golf course
C.
how difficult and expensive it is to take care of a golf course that is built on a creek
D.
the high cost of repairing flood damage done to a golf course at public golf clubs

Which of these sentences is an example of paradox?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The sentence that is an example of a paradox is the following one: She tried to quiet the silence (D).

Explanation:

Paradox means "contrary to expectations or existing belief". It is a statement which appears to be silly or self-contradictory. In this case, the sentence suggests that there already is silence in the room since she is trying to quiet it. Yet silence is already quiet, so what does she need to quiet it? If silence is not quiet, then there is noise. Still, the sentence states that there is silence in the room.  What this paradox seems to suggest is that the room is not silent enough.

Which statement would be an effective conclusion for the evaluation of an article on the potential threat of
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter D) Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly

researched and provides ample supporting evidence.

Explanation:

We can choose the option above through simple elimination. Option A is not a conclusion at all; it seems to present the final argument of the article, which means it's still part of the development. Letter B presents a "weak" personal opinion which could be a conclusion if it weren't based on personal experience instead of on the arguments offered in the article. Letter C looks more like a thesis statement than a conclusion, in the sense that is presents the topic of the article but not what can be concluded from it. Therefore, letter D seems to be the best option. That is the conclusion of a person who read the article, their evaluation of it: that it was well researched and filled with solid evidence.
