2. Read the following paragraph from "Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy." So to enter the town with the honor and glory befitting a

loony, I had to start with my clothes. First, I went and had an extra long, bright red topcoat made. I smeared it with mud to make it look old and ripped holes in it left and right. Then I went to the flea market and bought piles of worthless old money and bizarre medals. These I pinned here and there on the coat. Around my waist I bound a thick belt and hung a frying pan to one end on a cord. The frying pan was to be my guitar. I hung things all around my belt: a ladle, wooden spoons, a potty, an old electric clock, a women's umbrella, a cast-iron stove lid. Clanging and rattling all over, I boarded a bus. The people on the minibus broke into laughter, so I stood up, and using my frying pan as a guitar, sang all the songs I knew. Laughing and clapping, they were so light-hearted it was indescribable. Some threw oranges for me to eat, others gave me candy, and some money. Not only that, the bus driver not only failed to ask me for fare but invited me to his home: ”Where have you been all this time? Come every day, the food and drinks are on me.” Which of these sentences most effectively summarizes the main ideas in this paragraph? (1 point) A) The loony impressed the people on the bus by using a frying pan for a guitar and singing songs for them as entertainment. B) The people of the town were amused by their new loony's unusual appearance and seemed to take delight in his performance on the minibus. C) In order to become a loony, Helmi purchased new clothes, ripped holes in them, and pinned bizarre medals in all over himself in random order. D) The loony began his career by purchasing a new coat and tying to it a belt hung with a ladle, wooden spoons, a potty, a clock, a women's umbrella, and an iron stove lid.

(B) The people of the town were amused by their new loony's unusual appearance and seemed to take delight in his performance on the minibus.

This is the best summary of the ideas of the passage, because transforming into the loony and the experiences that follow are all collected in this statement.

lawyer [7]

Introduce your topic with a hook in the first sentence. First impressions are important so make the reader want to read more by making the very first thing you say interest the audience such as a quote or a fact that relates to the topic.

Give context and background. Talk about your topic on a basic level.

State your rationale. What do you believe about this topic and why do you think that?

Explain why your research is important. Why should the audience/reader be interested?

State your hypothesis or your thesis statement. (I was taught this should be the last thing in the intro paragraph) This is the claim to are making in this paper and all your evidence will point back to your thesis statement/ hypothesis.

Is racism something positive and important in this life? I need a paragraph, ill mark you as brainliest
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Racism is something that is not positive. It is used to hurt and disrespect people just because of their race and the color of their skin. This shouldn't be used against people but instead, people should judge one another by what they have to say and what they are showing in life. This is important to life because it is constantly affecting people and causing them to think badly of themselves.
