The correct answer is C. It is likely to be biased

Explanation:

A credible source is one whose information can be trusted which is determined by different factors that include the date of the source as sources created a long time ago are not credible; the author of the source as only experts on the field are credible and the information provided in the source as this need to be supported by facts and be objective which means it is not biased or influenced by interests or personal judgments. In the case of the source found by Tom, this source deals with the topic Tom is interested; it is updated as it was written in 2016 and t also has a credible source because it was written by Dr. Jane Nelson- However, it is probable this source is biased because the website belongs to the nuclear power plant and therefore, it is more likely this source includes only positive information about the use of nuclear energy which means it is influenced by he interests of the nuclear plant. Thus, the reason that makes this source lack of credibility is that it is likely to be biased.

<h3>What is passive sentences?</h3>

A passive sentence is a sentence in which the subject does not perform the action of the verb. In fact, in a passive sentence, the action of the verb occurs with the subject.

Two voices are written: active and passive.  In the active voice, the subject acts as the subject of the sentence, as in Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Active voice is direct, clear and easy to read. In the passive voice, a topic is discussed, for example, "Neil Armstrong walked on the moon."  

A passive sentence is almost the opposite of an active sentence, because the object of the verb (the recipient of the action) moves to the previous position and the subject (the doer of the action) moves to the end (usually "with". " clause).Below is a model: Object "to be" Verb (optional "half" clause).

Which details from the excerpt best support the
ira [324]

The details from the excerpt supporting the conclusion are about the magician the blows to turn things into the earth's geographical features and the references of the animals like the elephants, beavers, and the turtle. Thus, options A and D are correct.

<h3>What are supporting details?</h3>

The complete question is: He went North, Best Beloved, and he found All-the-Elephant-there-was digging with his tusks and stamping with his feet in the nice new clean earth that had been made ready for him.

'Kun?' said All-the-Elephant-there-was, meaning, 'Is this right?'

'Payah kun,' said the Eldest Magician, meaning, 'That is quite right'; and he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth that All-the-Elephant-there-was had thrown up, and they became the great Himalayan Mountains, and you can look them out on the map.

He went East, and he found All-the-Cow-there-was feeding in the field that had been made ready for her, and she licked her tongue round a whole forest at a time, and swallowed it and sat down to chew her cud.

'Kun?' said All-the-Cow-there-was.

'Payah kun,' said the Eldest Magician; and he breathed upon the bare patch where she had eaten, and upon the place where she had sat down, and one became the great Indian Desert, and the other became the Desert of Sahara, and you can look them out on the map.

He went West, and he found All-the-Beaver-there-was making a beaver-dam across the mouths of broad rivers that had been got ready for him.

'Kun?' said All-the-Beaver-there-was.

'Payah kun,' said the Eldest Magician; and he breathed upon the fallen trees and the still water, and they became the Everglades in Florida, and you may look them out on the map.

Then he went South and found All-the-Turtle-there-was scratching with his flippers in the sand that had been got ready for him, and the sand and the rocks whirled through the air and fell far off into the sea.

'Kun?' said All-the-Turtle-there-was.

'Payah kun,' said the Eldest Magician; and he breathed upon the sand and the rocks, where they had fallen in the sea, and they became the most beautiful islands of Borneo, Celebes, Sumatra, Java, and the rest of the Malay Archipelago, and you can look them out on the map!

The options are:

  • Things turn into geographical features of the Earth, such as the Himalayas, when the Eldest Magician blows on them.
  • The Eldest Magician and the animals engage in conversations using language, which is an example of personification.
  • The animals engage in activities that are typical of their species, such as the cow chewing its cud and the beaver building a dam.
  • The author repeats foreign expressions such as "Kun" and "Payah kun" in the conversations between the Magician and the animals.
  • The author refers to the animals as "All-the-Elephant-there-was," "All-the-Beaver-there-was," and "All-the-Turtle-there-was."

Supporting details are the information and the facts that back the events portrayed in the story to assure the readers about the valid claim made. It acts as evidence to prove the credibility of the stated events.

In "The Crab That Played with the Sea", about the creation of the world, myths are stated that tell about the stories that led to the creation of the world. The details include the eldest magician that blows on things to make them the same as the geographical features present on the earth.
