Summer is a wonderful time to spend at West Beach. It is a beach with light- colored, soft sand. The coastline goes on for a long way and many people enjoy walking along it. Children like to play in the surf and walk along the rocks that are visible at low tide. This is a fun beach for people of all ages.

In this paragraph:   

<span>the topic is West Beachthe main idea (what the writer is saying about the topic) is that summer is a wonderful time at West Beach</span>

 

Here is another example: 

<span>The movie Apollo 13 was a blockbuster for the summer of 1995. It is an exciting story about space exploration. In the movie, the astronauts get in trouble while they are trying to return to Earth. People in the audience are on the edge of their seats waiting to see what happens. What makes it even more exciting is that it is a true story. </span>

In this paragraph: 

<span>the topic is the movie Apollo 13<span>the main idea is in the first sentence: <span>Apollo 13 was a blockbuster for the summer of 1995</span></span></span>

Jenna is reviewing her friend Tammy's paper. She notices that Tammy’s grammar is incorrect in several places. What is a construc
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

I usually get told this is incorrect from the point of view of someone else who has been corrected multiple times in the past. Understandably, if Tammy doesn't like you, you wouldn't tell her.

But, in a perfect world, this is [ideally and probably] the best way. Letting Tammy know "hey, this is how to improve" is better than humiliating her in front of her friends and the teacher and ultimately bringing down her confidence. Direct correction might work better because then she will see her mistakes and be told how to fix them for her future reference.

Remember: Writing is thinking. Writing is literally just translating the words you're thinking into words on a page/computer or other media.

If she [Tammy] is offended, talking to the teacher may be the best way so the teacher can handle it.

How much change should you get from a ten dollar bill if you buy items for $3.69 each?
Aleksandr [31]
First find out how many things you can buy. $3.69 + $3.69 is $7.38. If you add one more item that is $3.69 that would be over $10, so you can only buy two things. If you take the price of your two items ($7.38) minus $10.00, what is your answer?

Which excerpt from The Number Devil best shows that one purpose of Robert's character is to oppose the number devil?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

"How dumb can you get!" said Robert. "A colossal waste of time if you ask me. So get going! Scram! Shoo!"

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • “You sound as though you never went to school. Or maybe you are a teacher yourself?”
  • "How dumb can you get!" said Robert. "A colossal waste of time if you ask me. So get going! Scram! Shoo!"
  • "I'm sorry," Robert said meekly, though the whole thing was getting weirder and weirder.
  • "It's just that all those ones give me a headache. They actually make things more complicated than they are."

This is the quote that best describes how the dynamic between the number devil and Robert develops throughout the story. In this sentence, we see that Robert opposes the character and wishes of the devil. While the devil wants to help Robert, and considers himself quite intelligent, Robert keeps reminding him of the fact that he is "dumb" and that Robert does not want his help. Therefore, we learn that one purpose of Robert's character is to oppose the number devil.

Is a famous person's quote an example of allusion? ...?
spayn [35]
I would say yes. A famous person's quote could be an example of allusion. Allusion's definition is an expression that is indirect or a passing reference to a place, event, or a famous person. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
