Answer:

<u>Parallelism</u>

Explanation:

Parallelism refers to the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. It uses words, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar or identical in structure, sound, meaning, or meter, with the purpose of showing that the stated ideas are equally important and to give a natural flow to the piece of writing.

The passage uses this literary device because some phrases and clauses have the same grammatical structure, such as <em>We </em><u><em>measured it</em></u><em> and </em><u><em>broke it </em></u><em>up; We were </em><u><em>born on it, we got killed on it, died on it</em></u>; and <em>being</em><u><em> born on it, working it, dying on it.</em></u>

Choose the number of the sentence that expresses the main idea in each selection. Then click "GO."
dusya [7]

Answer:

(1) An author doing research for a book asked thousands of Americans what made them happy.

Explanation:

It's tempting to say that the main idea is the conclusion of the paragraph, which is stated in sentence (5). However, the main focus of the paragraph is more on the research on what makes American happy, which is detailed by the responses of the research subjects, as well as the conclusion of the research study. If (5) was the main focus, there would be more details about why most of  the things that make you happy are simple and free or inexpensive or what the general research about this topic has been, instead of just one study in particular.

Pick any reading and describe a theme or central idea it has in common with the excerpt above. What issue is Powel commenting on
kobusy [5.1K]

Troy Davis was not allowed to submit to the lie detector to prove his guilt before being executed, as a last resort to avoid lethal injection. His defenders accused the Court of racial discrimination.

Davis´s attorney, Stephen Marsh, has commented that the Georgia department of corrections rejected the request to take the polygraph test. However, until the last minute Davis, did not recognize himself guilty of the murder of police officer Mark McPhail in 1989.

In spite of the doubts about the sentence, lack of real evidence of Davis´s participation in that murder and numerous social protests, the supreme court of the United States rejected the last request of clemency.

In both cases we can infer, although the country fights in order to defeat the racism, is a currently present problem.
