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

th 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. Because B. However C. In any case D. Both

The correct answer is B: HOWEVER.
From the passage given above, it can be seen that the similarities between coal and petroleum is the principal subject of the passage. The author gives several points that are jointly shared by both coal and petroleum. The author only gives one contrast between the two and in the process of making the contrast, he used the word 'HOWEVER'. The difference that the author gives about coal and petroleum is in their formation.

Which version of the sentence is most concise?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The lamprey has the ability to latch on and ultimately weaken its prey.

Explanation:

A concise statement is one that is not too wordy but is rather straightforward and retains the original meaning intended by the author. When sentences are too wordy, the real meaning being conveyed could be lost.

Concise statements are expressed in as few words are possible so as to retain the interest of the reader. This will also prevent the reader from skipping around in order to get the main point. With these in mind, the first option is the most concise statement.

Wings are really the amazing part for the birds. I feel that birds are very lucky to have wings. Because thay fly high whereever they want.

we have also heard of the angels in fairy tales. The angels are also depicted with beautiful wings. Angels are also luckiest to have wings.

If i have wings i feel i'm the most luckiest on this earth. I will fly from place to place and explore things. I will fly upon the water levels and enjoy. Fly across mountains, waterfalls and i will sleep across the nature's lap in the top of hills.

Sky is the limit for me if i have wings. I will aim to reach for the sky and fly higher and higher competiting with all birds.
