Answer:
Umm what are u trying to get 34 to
Answer:
a. The number sentence that is the topic sentence is sentence (1).
b. Sentence (6) does not contribute to the paragraph's unity. It can be eliminated, without changing the meaning that can be obtained from the paragraph. It does not support the topic.
c. The writer, in sentences 3 through 7, provides an example and further details to help the reader to understand her point.
d. The example in a sentence makes the idea clearer to the reader. Without the example, which provides further details, the reader may not clearly appreciate the topic under discussion.
Explanation:
The purpose of the topic sentence is to introduce the theme of the paragraph or the point of view of the writer. It captures the essence of the story. As it bears the central idea, it focuses the paragraph to achieve unity.
Answer:
$299,280
Explanation:
If the Tolstoys purchased the house they would pay on average $120 per sq ft x 2,900 sq ft = $348,000
If Mr. installs the plumbing and Mrs. Tolstoy decorates the house, they can save 10% (plumbing and installing plumbing fixtures) and 4% (interior decorating) = 14% of the cost
So the Tolstoys can save = $348,000 x 14% = $48,720
the cost of the house = $348,000 - $48,720 = $299,280
