Answer:
Topic sentence, supporting details, concluding statement.
Explanation:
Firstly, everyone should know what you're talking about before you extend on it, so topic sentence should come first.
Then, you want to defend that statement you just made, so you give supporting details.
Lastly, conclude literally comes from the Latin root meaning "to finish, or end", so it should come last!! Hope this is helpful :)

Explanation:
Parallelism is characterized as the use of similar grammatical forms or patterns to express or communicate two or more ideas that are of equal significance.
In the given excerpt, the first excerpt i.e. '...symbolizing...change' employs a parallel structure as the similar present participle verb form of present participle has been employed in the words 'symbolizing', 'beginning', and 'signifying' of equal importance. It primarily assists in enhancing the readability, prevent clutter, and convey the meaning clearly and effectively. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:
C. that the sliver of paper came from a dollar bill.
Explanation:
<em>Object Lessons</em> by Ellery Queen is a short story about a detective work that the author did for a school teacher when she lost "seven one-dollar bills" in her own classroom. The story deals with juvenile crimes committed by three young boys and their teacher's refusal to let them be given straight to the authorities without a second chance.
From the given excerpt, we can know that Ellery had discovered <em>"needle-thin sliver of paper about an inch long, a sort of paper shaving"</em>. He then realized that it must have been from the original piece of item that the culprit used to make a cut out on the fake paper so that the size will be the exact same size with the replaced dollar bill. The inference that Ellery is making at this point is that the sliver of paper came from the dollar bill that was used to make a cut out from the book or paper to replace the stolen money.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
