This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Dr. Dowell says that we need to be prepared for a pandemic. He thinks every nation should have an emergency plan. More medications like Tamiflu should be available. He thinks rich countries like the U.S. should help poor countries pay for medicine and health care.
Why does the author most likely include this information at the end of the text instead of at the beginning?
A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text
B. because it offers new evidence that is meant to help readers better understand the text
C. because it poses new questions for readers to think about now that they have read the text
D. because it offers supplemental information that readers can compare to evidence presented in the text
Answer:
The author includes this information at the end of the text:
A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text
.
Explanation:
After discussing and presenting evidence throughout the text, author John DiConsiglio is now ready to conclude it. What he presents at the end cannot be new evidence or supplemental information, for that would not be a conclusion at all. He is also not presenting questions - he is making statements. Those statements are based on the information presented previously, supported by it. What the author wants now is to show how important that information was and how we can use it to be prepared for future cases of the disease.
This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:
A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."
B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."
C. "Her walk was proud..."
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Answer:
The detail that contains an allusion is:
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Explanation:
As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.

Part A: According to a different source, this video shows how water is an extremely scarce resource in Mexico City. This poses a variety of problems for its citizens.
Part B: Water can have several important uses. It is used for irrigation of crops. It is also used for drinking and for household tasks such as cleaning, washing and cooking.
Part C: Some of the city's residents have become activists in order to deal with the problem of water scarcity. Others buy bottled water to deal with the shortage, while others organize their lives around the availability or the lack of water.
Part D: One of the strategies I would suggest would be fixing the leaks in the water system, which would ensure that all treated water reaches its destination. I would also suggest educating the population on the importance of water and the strategies they can follow to have clean water for longer.
Part E: The main resource that would stop my plans from being implemented would be money. Money can be scarce in Mexico, and this can make it difficult to implement solutions such as fixing a leaking system or starting education campaigns.
