THE VALUE OF BEING CONFUSED PART A: Which statement best expresses the central ideas of the text?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

B. Confusion is more important to intellectual growth than it is to understanding your identity.

Explanation:

Confusion is a state in which human brain could not chronologically reconcile an information or expression. It is a required stage of learning because it motivates or builds the mind to decipher the appropriate way to solve a problem. Though it may lead to frustration sometimes, but it enables the development of a capacity for deeper level of understanding.

From 'The value of being confused', the central idea or theme is that confusion deals with the development of our intellect (knowledge and understanding), more than personal identity.

9. b. “sale,”

10. c. “Leinengen versus the Ants,”

Explanation:

1. All of the people at the school, including the teachers and b. students, were glad when summer break came.

The use of "students," ends the dependent clause.

2. Sit up straight c. .

The sentence is a simple statement so ends with a full-stop.

3. They asked what time the department store would open b. .

It is a simple statement so ends with a full-stop.

4. Who do you think will win the contest c. ?

A question, so ends with a question mark.

5. Choose the sentence below with the correct punctuation.

a. Ted and Janice, who had been friends for years, went on vacation together every summer.

The use of the comma before and after the dependent clause provides an added information to Ted and Janice.

6. To a. everybody’s surprise, Anne was on time for her math class.

Everybody is already a plural, so the apostrophe comes before the "s".

7. In Edgar Allen Poe’s a. short story, “The Tell-Tale Heart,” Edgar Allen Poe describes a man with a guilty conscience.

The name of the short story must be written within quotation marks, and the use of the "," after "short story" provides an introduction or detail of the work that is talked about.

8. Billboards are considered an important part of advertising for big business, d. but-an eyesore by their critics.

The use of "-" shows the connection of the two words in the sentence.

9. I can never remember how to use those two common words, “sell,” meaning to trade a product for money, or b. “sale,” meaning an event where products are traded for less money than usual.

Putting the word "sale" in between quotation marks provides the same intention of the specific word that is dealt with.

10. The class just finished reading c. “Leinengen versus the Ants,” a short story by Carl Stephenson about a plantation owner’s battle with army ants.

Names of books are to be put within quotation marks/ inverted commas.

This quote, spoken by Upton Sinclair, demonstrates the author's disappointment that the political point of his novel was overshadowed by the public's outcry over food production.

His goal had been to move the public to identify with the harsh realities of the working class and to garner sympathy for socialist viewpoints.

Instead, the country became outraged over the methods of food production. Sinclair's novel graphically illustrates the unsanitary and unethical standards by which meat was produced in the United States.
