Read the reason a student wrote for saving a city park.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Hawk Hill should remain open because it is the only park we have with a lake where people can swim and fish.

Explanation:

Based on the reason the student gave for why he wants to save a city park which was that the Hawk Hill was his favorite park and was free to visit, the best detail to add to support to saving the park would be to argue that it should remain open because it is the only park that has a lake where the people can swim and fish.

Which of the following sentences uses an idiom to show that Stella is avoiding a topic?
dmitriy555 [2]
The answer is <em>C.) Stella started to beat around the bush.</em><em />

The first thing we need to realize is what an idiom is. An idiom is a group of words that symbolize a meaning not otherwise implied by the actual words that are expressed. That might not have made sense, so here are some examples of idioms:

raining cats and dogs (raining hard, not actual cats and dogs)

bought the farm (refers to someone dying, not buying a literal farm)

That being said, when we say someone is beating around the bush, they are avoiding having to do or say something, which is what we're looking for. So, the third option, C, is our answer

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing rest of your weekend and feel free to let me know if you need any further help! :D
