C. The phrase is meant to simplify and clarify the author's first thought. The phrase with an em dash was meant to simply explain the overall thought of the author in order for the readers to easily comprehend the context.

True or False:
FromTheMoon [43]

The first statement is false, the second statement is true, the third statement is false, and the fourth statement is true.

This task requires you to identify if the statements regarding a text are true or false. To do this you need to:

  • Read the text carefully.
  • Read the statements.
  • Compare the statements to the ideas of the text.

Now, let's analyze each of the statements:

  • Statement 1: This statement is true because the statement purposes "all people" have the same idea about homework, but the original text mentions "many people" rather than all.
  • Statement 2: This statement is true because the author mentions the same idea in "it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time".
  • Statement 3: This statement is false because the text mentions some students receive help, which means not always students do homework with their parents.
  • Statement 4: This statement is true because this idea is mentioned in "should suggest suitable tasks for parents to help their children".

-BARSIC- [3]

D) a large group or chain of islands

None of the words here are underlined, but I'm assuming the underlined word is <u>archipelago</u>, which is a group/chain of islands, because none of the other words are defined in the other answer choices.
