The investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions
Answer:
Atticus was threatened and his children were treated poorly by their peers, because he had the courage to stand up for the oppressed. Harper Lee's main message to the readers is not to treat others according to who or what they are but according to their behaviours.
Explanation:
The balloon rocketed into the sky. Though we were frightened, everything ended up being fine.
- The word "quickly" can be removed because speed is implied with the word "rocketed"
- The phrase "into the really cold air" can be removed because it is irrelevant to what's happening. It can be replaced by "into the sky"
- Now "up" can be removed because "into the sky" implies that the balloon went upwards.
- Either the word "scared" or "frightened" can be removed because they're synonyms (I chose to remove "scared")
- "Because it was moving really fast" can be removed because the use of the word "rocketed" beforehand already implies that the balloon was moving fast.
- Lastly , I just reworded and conjoined some of the sentences to make them read more clearly though this isn't necessary. (I changed the third sentence from "However, it was all good in the end," to "everything ended up being fine." I also combined the second and third sentences, adding "though" in front of the second sentence to make it a dependent clause)
The answer is B because it puts a coma in the correct spot to pause between the first half of the sentence and the second. The others either randomly placed a period, using the wrong word choices, or made it a run on sentence. :)
A. Citizen is the correct meaning for the italicized root for geopolitics
