This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Which idea from the paragraph below is important to include in a summary?

The platypus is an Australian mammal that does not fall neatly into a classification. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bear young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills.The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.

 

A) The platypus is a fascinating animal.

B) The platypus paddles through water.

C) The platypus uses its duck-like bill to scoop up gravel when it is underwater.

D) The platypus is a rare type of mammal that bears its young by laying eggs.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) The platypus is a rare type of mammal that bears its young by laying eggs.

Explanation:

If we read this text we can see that it has too much information about the platypus. But without a doubt, the most important and most striking information is the fact that platypus are one of the two mammals that give birth by laying eggs.

It is something uncommon in the animal world, as we can see only two species can do it.

This leads us to the conclusion that the correct answer is option D.

After he was caught lying on the stand, the discredited witness left the courtroom in humiliation. what does discredited mean? h
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

having a damaged reputation

Explanation:

discredited means to lose your respectability.

Using context clues, why would the witness have left the courtroom in humiliation? It can't be because they have good judgment or that they were honorable. That leaves "sorrowful" and "having a damaged reputation." Having a damaged reputation is more tied to humiliation, but if you didn't pick up on that, credited means of respect and the opposite most closely means having a damaged rep.
