Answer:

Conclusion - the closing paragraph or section of an essay, argument, or narrative

Controlling idea - the most important idea in an informational text

Introduction - the opening paragraph or section of a text

Supporting detail - a piece of text evidence, a description, an example, a reason, an expert opinion, a fact, or a statistic that further explains a key idea and closely relates to the thesis or claim.

Text structure - the order or pattern a writer uses to organize information

Explanation:

When you're writing a text, you need to think about its structure - how you're going to present the main idea and details, a cause and its effects, different views of a topic, etc. It's much better to think about it beforehand than not know how to proceed once you've written a part of the text.

Every text has an introduction and a conclusion - the beginning and the ending.

The controlling idea of an informational text is its most important idea. It should contain your opinion about the topic and show what direction you are going to take in writing about said topic.

Supporting details provide us with additional information about the main idea. As stated, a supporting detail can be a piece of text evidence, a description, an example, a reason, an expert opinion, a fact, or a statistic.

how does "The Day I Saved a Life" connects to the unit's essential question "Why do we take chances?"
olasank [31]

Hello. Unfortunately, it is not possible to have access to the video "The Day I Saved a Life" and the unit to which you refer in the question above, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

According to the titles presented in the question, we can infer that the relationship between the two works is the fact that, many times, we are at risk, due to our survival instinct. Often, for it to be necessary to get rid of something that is threatening us, we need to face some risks and face some difficulties that, although dangerous, can save us. This occurs even when we see someone in danger, as our sense of survival is very strong and comprehensive.

Read this excerpt from "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which two lines are examples of a dependent clause?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

A) First, a clause is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that can't stand alone or one that does not have meaning standing by itself.

B) Furthermore, it must have a verb and a subject.

A verb, if you recall is an action word while a subject is "<em>the person or thing being referred to</em>".

Looking at the clauses in option B we can see that they both meet the above conditions.  

Let's see clause one - "<em>And may there be no </em><u><em>moaning</em></u><em> of t</em><u><em>he bar</em></u><em>, "</em>

It is clear that the verb here is "moaning" while the subject is "the Bar".

It's clear to see that these group of words meet the conditions given in A and B above because left by themselves, they make no meaning.

Let's take a look at the second clause:

"<em>When I put out to sea</em>,"

"I" here is the subject. It is a pronoun. A pronoun is simply a word that can be used instead of the noun. That is a noun can easily but inserted in the place of "I". Hence, we have "I" as the subject.

"<em>Put Out</em>"  here is a verb which means to relocate.

So "When I put out to sea"  also meets the conditions in A and B above.

Cheers!
