2) Examine each of the following topics. Determine if the topic is too broad, too narrow, or appropriate for the research essay.

fenix001 [56]

The history of manned space flight: The topic is appropriate for research because it is specific and will find almost the same information in every source you consult.
Breeds of dogs in the Westminster Dog Show: The topic is too narrow which might make the research a little empty (with not too much information).
The history of domestic animals (house pets): The topic is too broad and the research might not be focused but too general.
The results of Project Genome: The topic is appropriate for research because it is relevant and specific
The formation of cumulonimbus clouds: The topic is too narrow and might make the research empty/flat and lacking in relevance
The results of the Battle of Gettysburg: The topic is appropriate for research because it is historically relevant.

EXTRA INFO:

When you start developing a specific topic, the main problem you may face is having a topic that is too narrow or too broad.

Your topic is too narrow when you find very little information about it

Your topic is too broad when you find too many sources or too much information that it might not even be focused but too general.

And when your topic is appropriate it is when you find the important and needed information or you could also narrow a topic that is too broad.

Hope this answer helps you! Have a great day.

Read this passage from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us":

Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Working against the natural tendencies of the environment leads to long-term consequences.

Explanation:

In the first paragraph, the theme of green literature is evidenced when the writer references the damage to New York City's topography due to the need to build deep underground subways that double as bomb shelters.

In the second passage, the imagery used by the writer gives a clearer picture of the damage that was done to the environment.

In the first passage, the potential hazard arises because sewer lines have to be pumped uphill with subways below them.

If there is an earthquake, for instance, the entire structure comes crashing down.

In the second passage, the damage was already done, leaving Norwegians with the problem of how to create soils upon which plant fauna could thrive. Had they, managed the tree population by planting more than they were cutting, they probably would have avoided the "green problem".

Cheers
