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.

Jake sold a total of $9,600 worth of clothing last week at his store. If his commission is 15% on sales, how much commission did
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Jake earned $1,440 in commission.

Explanation:

Jake's commission is 15% of the amount he sells. To find the amount Jake has made in commission, we need to multiply the amount he sold, 9,600, by 15 and then divide it by 100.

9,600.15/100

=

144,000/100

=

1,440

Therefore, last week, Jake earned a total of $1,440, which is 15% of 9,600.

What was the solution to the debate over the slave status of new territories in the Kansas-Nebraska Act?
seraphim [82]

Answer: Popular Sovereignty

Explanation:

Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).

In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.

The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.

With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.

yulyashka [42]
Well we can look at this question and eliminate Rhetorical Question due to the fact the excerpt above isn't asking anything. We can also eliminate an allusion because this is not an allusion it is a dream. We can then eliminate Logo's because it is a Greek word meaning logic. Pathos makes no sense because there is not pity or sadness involved. So the only option left is A)Ethos. I hope this helps
