First, let's go over your question to find what we're looking for. 

<span>Randy is trying to determine the central idea of an informational text. What question should he ask himself?

The bolded words are what we are looking for. This question is asking us, "In order to find the central(main) idea of an informational text, what should be asked in order to find it?" 

Now that we know that let's read over the answer choices! Remember we are looking for the central(main idea) for an INFORMATIONAL TEXT! 
</span><span>
A.) Where does the text take place?
-Though this is informational, I don't see what this has to do with the main idea of the text. This is incorrect. 
B.)What is the main message of the text?
-This is asking what the main message of the text is. Which, sounds an awful lot like what we are looking for. This is your answer! 

C.) What is the author’s attitude toward his or her topic?
-Emotion of the text should not matter here, since we are looking for the central idea of an informational text so C is incorrect. 

D.)What examples of the topic does the author include?
</span><span>-Why would we need examples when trying to determine the central idea? This is incorrect.

What did scops help to preserve?<br> a. poetry<br> b. tradition<br> c. English<br> d. entertainment
Snowcat [4.5K]

The right answer is a. poetry.

Scops were professional poets that brought the epic poems to life. Playing harp, the scop would chant in a clear voice that carried over the shouts and laughter of the crowd, captivating them for hours on end with tales of courage, high drama, and tragedy. These epic poems were an oral art form: memorized and performed, not written down. Later, literacy spread through Britain, and poems were more likely to be recorded. Thus, only a fraction of Anglo-Saxon poetry has survived, in manuscripts produced centuries after the poems were originally composed.

Which best describes the type of appeal used in this part of the speech? a logical appeal an ethical appeal an emotional appeal
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

This is the excerpt the question refers to:

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The appeal of that excerpt is: logical appeal

Explanation:

In the excerpt, a logical fact is being pointed at: Japan is very far from Hawaii, and because the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not only unexpected, but also successful (for the Japanese), it must have been planned many days or weeks ago.

An deadly attack on foreign soil, that is far away from home, cannot be rushed out. It needs planning, and that is obviously what the Japanese did.
