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.

How are George and Lenny different from the other traveling workers, according to Slim? From the book Of Mice and Men chapter 3.
Rainbow [258]
Well first of all, there are no other traveling workers. Instead it was something very uncommon back then just because there are so much competition due to the Great Depression. Second, George is the one that does all the talking and dominates things when they are together. So some people like the boss thinks George is taking advantage of Lennie and some others such as Curley thinks they are gay.
