Question

How to Set Up a Fish Aquarium Drake Truman To set up your fish aquarium, you must first decide where to put your tank. You should place your fish tank on a stable, sturdy piece of furniture, such as a table. Pick a spot away from direct sunlight, as direct sunlight can harm some fish. After placing your tank in its chosen spot, place a small layer of pebbles at the bottom of the aquarium. Then, put a few underwater plants or other decorations on top of the pebble layer. After adding decorations, fill the tank with water. Because the water will make the tank heavy, fill the tank by using a clean pitcher filled with water. That way, you will not have to move your tank after it is full of water. Finally, put your new fish into your aquarium. Which of these details does NOT support or fit into this paragraph’s main idea? A) Fill the tank with water until it reaches about three inches from the top. B) Dogs are delightful pets indeed, but they also require a lot of responsibility. C) The pebble layer should be about three inches thick and cover the entire bottom. D) Make sure that any decorations you put in the tank are designed for fish aquariums. Submit

Answer 1

Answer:

The detail that does not support of fit into this paragraph's main idea is:

B) Dogs are delightful pets indeed, but they also require a lot of responsibility.

Explanation:

The instructions in "How To Set Up a Fish Aquarium" are clear: they concern fish and aquariums. They do not, at any point, concern dogs. All of the other options mention something that does have a connection with the paragraph: the amount of water to put into the aquarium, how thick the pebble layer at the bottom should be, the right type of decorations to be used. However, the second option says that having a dog requires a lot of responsibility. It doesn't say anything about the dog that could be connected to having an aquarium, such as making sure that your aquarium can't be knocked off the table by a big dog of something of the kind. Thus, letter B is the one that does not fit into the paragraph's main idea.

Answer 2

Option B) Dogs are delightful pets indeed, but they also require a lot of responsibility does not support the paragraph's main idea. The main idea of this paragraph is to give a client the instructions to set up a fish aquarium . It is not a paragraph about pets in general. Options A, C and D refer to the different steps that have to be followed to set up the aquarium.
