C. Cell phones should be allowed in the classroom.

When looking at the content above, we can see it has the typical argumentative/persuasive format where the opposing viewpoint is given first and is then followed by a refute/rebuttal. The viewpoint the author would be against is the view that cell phones should not be in the classroom, and this can easily be determined by the points that follow condoning classroom use and counter the content beginning the paragraph.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. I'll omit the passage, since it is the same:

What does the phrase "nor become popular enough with the English to hitch a ride" tell readers about the potato?

1. People in England preferred eating Indian turnips and groundnuts to eating potatoes.

2. People in England did not like the potato enough to bring it with them on the Mayflower.

3. People in England were planning to take the potato with them on the Mayflower but changed their minds.

4. People in England did not like eating potatoes because the potato had been introduced by the Spanish.

Answer:

The phrase tell readers:

2. People in England did not like the potato enough to bring it with them on the Mayflower.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, the potato did not reach the popularity it has nowadays for quite some time. It was introduced to Europeans around 1570,<u> but it was not liked enough for the English to want to bring it with them on the Mayflower. That is what the phrase "nor become popular enough with the English to hitch a ride" means. The potato did not "hitch a ride", meaning it was not taken back home with the English</u>. As a matter of fact, even in America - watch out because option 1 tries to make us confuse England and New England - the native inhabitants would eat other plant roots, but not the potato.

The author describes the lunette as "wall-eyed." Wall-eyed is having large bulging or staring eyes, or an eye in which the iris

Ket [755]

Answer and Explanation:

The author used the expression "wall-eyed" to describe a lunette, an arching aperture in a wall that may function as a window. Wall-eyed means something or someone has bulging eyes, or eyes that show a great amount of white for some reason. With that in mind, we can think of a couple of things that may be described as wall-eyed. A fish, for instance, can be wall-eyed due to its bulging eyes that seem to be constantly staring. A mirror reflecting a white wall, a round window reflecting moonlight, all can be described as wall-eyed. The same goes for a person who is surprised or scared, since they will open their eyes wide.
