Answer:

To convey the teenagers' rebellion against their parents and teachers.

Explanation:

<em>'We Real Cool' by Gwendolyn Brooks illustrates the theme of identity of a group of teenagers, black males. The tone of the poem indicates rebellion and adamant deference of the gang. These are the boys who are unwanted by family and society due to their indecent activities like "lurk late", "strike straight", "thin gin" and "sing sin". </em>The poet also elaborates that they may be true to their own desires unlike the masses yet he calls them pathetic. They celebrate jazz June filled with energy and spirit but which could also be the climax as it leads the premature death of this 'macho gang'(as a consequence to their relentless pursuit of youth and energy)

Identify which line is NOT a Key Detail that supports the main idea:
sasho [114]

Answer: At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.

Explanation:

''At those speeds, a trip from New York City to Los Angeles would take from 5 to 10 seconds.'' is a detail that is not supporting the main idea because it is excessive. The main idea of the paragraph is describing the type of weather event between the sun and the wind including speed and type of the wind.

  • Because of that, we can feel that the described trip from New York City to Los Angeles is a sentence that does not belong in this passage and this one sentence is acting outstandingly in the passage.

Other sentences are well connected and that is why they are incorrect answers.

Participles are words that are formed from verbs but act as adjectives. They are called <em>verbals</em>.  What is more, phrases are a group of words without a subject and a verb that function as as single part of speech.  Therefore, participles consist of the participle and its complements and modifiers.

Taking all this into account, it can be said that the participial phrase is "trimmed that morning" and that it modifies the noun "grass".  This is a past participle which is further specified by the NP "that morning" which gives information about the time in which the grass was trimmed.
