9. This question is based on the following paragraph. Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and

both originated with living creatures of some kind. Both are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources. What is one clue word or phrase in the passage that indicates a contrast? A. Both B. In any case C. However D. Because

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a. is not the answer since 'both' does not contrast, but instead shows similarity

b. is not the answer either. it does not indicate contrast (or anything, really) and the second part of that sentence shows similarities between coal and petroleum.

c. however is usually used to introduce a statement that contrasts. This happens in this paragraph, too. The first part of the statement tells how petroleum is made from dead microorganisms. The second part of the statement is introduced with "on the other hand," a common phrase used to compare and contrast two things or ideas. The sentence then states that coal was made from dead vegetation. These are two characteristics that are different about coal and petroleum that are portrayed in a contrasting manner. Therefore c. however is the correct answer.

D. is not the answer. "because" is simply used to explain an idea.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since the goal is to inform the reader, the author uses factual evidence, subheadings, and diagrams to enlighten or educate the reader about the topic they are writing about. This helps the reader understand the topic and creates space for them to create their opinion about the topic.

The answer is c, because it is clearly not an alliteration, and there is no repetition. An end rhyme is when words on the end of lines sentences rhyme with the words on the ends of other sentences; where as an internal rhyme has rhymes in the same sentence.

3. The biographies discuss Orwell’s different experiences in Spain and Burma, which forever affected his political views. Based
Gwar [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Orwel abhorred imperialism and saw it as a source of misery, submission, exploitation and oppression by the peoples. For him, imperialism caused problems that were very difficult to solve and very violent, being an unfair and immoral political game.

Orwell was a progressive and was faithful with fidelity to freedom and social well-being and for that reason he criticized all political aspects, although he was sympathetic to the leftist and socialist ideas, he criticized the utopian idea that these two aspects defended, because they knew that the political, social and economic problems of the world were difficult and needed solutions that were also difficult. As he defended the citizens' freedom, he also criticized communism and the limitation and control that it emitted in the peoples he dominated.
