Complete the sentence with "used to" or "use to"
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

b) use to

Explanation:

This is because at the beginning of the sentence there is already a past tense "did" so the verb after that would have to be in base form which would be "use to". It's a rule so I can't really explain much.

Brazelton curve

It all started in 1962, when Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, a renowned pediatrician and child development researcher, conducted a study of normal healthy infants by asking their parents some questions about their infant’s crying routine. In this study Dr. Brazelton found that all infants went through a stage in their development where they cried increasingly more. This crying began at about 2 weeks, peaked around six weeks of age and began decreasing around 12-16 weeks (3-4 months of age).

Twenty-four years later in 1986, two other pediatric developmental pediatricians, Dr. Urs Hunziker and Dr. Ronald Barr replicated Dr. Brazelton’s study. Their research of normal healthy infants in Montreal, Canada found the exact same results as Dr. Brazelton had. There have been several other studies done since that validate this normal crying curve of infants in the first few months of age.

This is an important discovery because the assumption for years was that if your baby cried excessively they had "Colic"" leading parents and caregivers to believe there was something wrong or abnormal with their baby. Extensive research now tells us that all infants go through a stage of increased crying, although some may cry a lot more than others. This crying is not an indication that there is something wrong with the baby but rather a normal developmental stage in all babies lives. You’ll notice on the simplified graph to the right that the crying starts to increase at about 2 weeks of age, peaks in the second month of life and then gets less at about 4-5 months. It is very important to remember that all babies go through this but some cry a lot, 5 or more hours, and some far less, only 30 minutes in a day/night.

So, the question remains, how do we know crying is the reason a person becomes so frustrated that they shake an infant? Certainly, we know that many have confessed after they shook their infant saying things like “I just could not stand the crying anymore", or “He would not stop crying so I shook him.” Cases like these are an indication that frustration with crying is certainly a reason someone shakes an infant, but is it the primary reason?

Which central idea should be included in a paraphrase of this excerpt?
ololo11 [35]

The central idea depicts the theme of the story. The sentence about the man sent by Odysseus to investigate the land should be included in the paraphrase. Thus, option A is correct.

<h3>What is paraphrasing?</h3>

The complete excerpt for the question is: Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Then I sent out two picked men and a runner to learn what race of men that land sustained. They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,

who showed no will to do us harm, only offering the sweet Lotus to our friends but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus, never cared to report, nor to return:

they longed to stay forever, browsing on that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.

Paraphrasing is a writing and editing method that revises and rewrites the original sentences. It uses the same words from the original text and maintains its true meaning. In the heroic story of Odysseus, his journey has been depicted.

When Odysseus sent his men to explore the land they were transfixed at the same location and were resistant to move forward and just wanted to eat the lotus plant. The men even forget to return to their own homeland.

Therefore, option A. the sentence about the man Odysseus sent to land should be included in the excerpt.
