For some specialized nonprofit agencies, the mission is to reach a particular group of people in need. The organization Give Run

ning serves one such goal by providing shoes to children around the world. By collecting, cleaning, and distributing thousands of pairs of gently used athletic shoes Give Running makes a difference for children in need, including some who have never owned athletic shoes of any kind. Originally the project of a college student in California, the nonprofit grows via more local chapters and shoe collection sites. Donations have gone to the kids of inner-city Los Angeles, to Haitians after the earthquake, and to African villages. The shoes represent opportunity for kids to run and grow. In some countries in the developing world, children are only allowed to attend schools if they have shoes to wear. Not only do shoes protect feet from injuries and allow children to walk safely to school, the donated shoes themselves help make schooling possible. An additional benefit of these donations is that most shoes are being recycled, keeping material out of landfills. Finally, this growing organization accepts and distributes all types of athletic shoes and is eager to expand.
Which of the following sentences from the paragraph is the topic sentence?

Answer:

The sentence from the paragraph that is the topic sentence is 3.By collecting, cleaning, and distributing thousands of pairs of gently used athletic shoes Give Running makes a difference for children in need, including some who have never owned athletic shoes of any kind.

Explanation:

A topic sentence covers two functions, it gives you a general idea of what is the writer going to talk about and it has a controlling idea that helps to keep focus on the topic, this sentence summarizes the topic of all the extract which is about people in need and about how they receive shoes from charity. The controlling idea keeps in mind that it is specifically for children in need

PLZZ HELP!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLYIST!!!!!

Answer: Dealing With Siblings

By: Me, duh.

Explanation:

Year 2009 (April), on a late Wednesday night, my brothers and I awoke to the noise of rattling outside our windows. At first, we all ignored the rattling and turned over in our beds and went back to sleep. But then, the rattling got louder and sharper. After hearing it again we all decided to get up and check out what it was. As my 3 older brothers and I walked outside in our pyjamas to see what was going on outside, we noticed that there was a strange smell coming from our backyard. So, as we all went into the backyard to see what this continous situation would bring us next, there it was... four big raccoons inside our trash cans. We looked at them and they looked at us, and we looked at them again and they looked at us again. Suddenly, each of the raccoons scurried away with pieces of garbage in their mouths. As soon as we all realized what had happened, my second eldest brother, Liam, ran towards the direction that the raccoons had scurried. Without hesitation, my 3rd eldest brother, Greg, looked down at me and said, "this is all your fault" in an angry voice. I looked up at Greg with a confused look on my face and replied, "what?! what did I do?", "You! What did you do!? YOU were the one that dad told to tie the trash cans up last night." "No, no, no. Dad told YOU to tie them up last night. But maybe it's just your memory loss getting to you again." Greg and I continued to argue like this until my first eldest brother, Matt, broke us up saying "Hey! It wasn't either of you guys's faults. Maybe it was Dads." Greg looked at me confused and I looked at Greg surpirsed and be both replied with, "NO", and then went back to arguing. Greg, Matt, and I started arguing with eachother before my 3rd eldest brother, Liam, came back into the backyard with an relaxed look on his face and said, "uh. am i inturuppting something?". Matt looked at Liam and said "Nope, just arguing about why the trash cans are not tied up. You know who it was?". "Oh! Yeah, that was me!" Liam replied. Automatically, Matt, Gregg, and I all turned our heads to Liam and said "what!?". "yeah, i was going to tie them up but I had too much work on my hands and was gonna come back to tie them up later." After understanding what just happened, Matt walked over to Liam and said "Okay. Its fine. At least they didnt get into the house!". Matt, Gregg, Liam, and I all chuckled and cleaned up the mess that the raccoons made in the backyard before going to bed. Nexxt time, we'll be prepared for those little bandits.

STORY MEANING: Raccoons mess with trash cans. Brothers argue about who was supposed to tie them up or not. Brothers turn on eachother before realizing that one of the other brothers had done it.

THEY MISUNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION

LenKa [72]

<u>Answer</u>:

The sentence that would improve this conclusion is - Organizing safety classes for drivers and cyclists  will ensure that everyone knows the rules. The right option is <u>Option B.</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

While analysing the conclusion of this excerpt, this option seems to be the best. In the end of the passage it is said that sharing the road can be tricky, but there are things that can be done. One option is given which is the organisation of safety classes for drivers and cyclists. If any country or town, opts for this then there would be less chaos on roads and seeing others people following the rules and regulations will bring about road safety and ensure the safety of drivers and cyclists.

topjm [15]

Answer:

Having seen this question before, I believe it is B.

Explanation:

The moment of highest tension is the climax of the story. Cameron's father tells her to clean her room, signaling the introductory portion of the story (option A). Then Cameron finds a stopwatch to use to time herself after rummaging, signaling the rising action of the story (option C). Option B would be your climax, seeing as she started the stopwatch and raced on to cleaning. After that Cameron is cleaning her room, signaling your falling action (option D). Out of all the options, it makes the most sense.
