Answer:
The central idea in this excerpt is:
A. As a young man, Washington participated in land surveying and fought in the military.
Explanation:
The problem with the other options is that they focus on only one aspect at a time. However, the excerpt makes it clear from the beginning that there are two aspects to be considered when it comes to Washington's life as a young man. That is why it states, right from the get-go: "He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion." This sentence, placed before the others, reveals the theme of the passage. Washington participated in military battles and helped with the expansion to the West. For that reason, letter A is the best option.

Intro:
Hook [eSports is becoming increasingly prominent in pop culture]. Thesis [therefore, eSports should be considered a school sport]. Reasons [cognitive: Problem solving & strategy skill development. Social Development. Entertainment and art.]

Answer: It can be proven using objective evidence.
Explanation:
Factual information can be proven by objective evidence based on research into the information. Information that is not factual can also be proven to be baseless by the same method.
If indeed therefore, that the above scenario can be proven by objective evidence then it would be considered factual. Should there be an investigation and the evidence is not objective, this would not have been factual.
