Answer:

<u>The following is the </u><u>central idea</u><u> of the paragraph:</u>

"The first object which saluted my eyes when i arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship."

<u>The following are the </u><u>supporting details</u><u> of the paragraph:</u>

"These filled m with astonishment, which as soon converted into terror when i was carried on board."

"I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and I was not persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me."

Explanation:

The central idea of the paragraph is when Equiano first sees the sea and the slave ship, as it is the moment that will give purpose to the rest of the paragraph; it is the main point of the narration.

The supporting details of the paragraph are what comes after the central idea, and what build up the paragraph's structure as they develop the main idea with more detailed information. In this case, the supporting details show Equiano's fear as he is taken into the ship.

The correct answer is:

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. <u>These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror</u> when I was carried on board. I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I were sound by some of the crew; and <u>I was now persuaded</u> that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and <u>that they were going to kill me</u>.

The central idea of this paragraph are in bold and the <u>supporting details</u> are <u>underlined</u>.

Why do Romeo's parents not ask Romeo directly why he is sad?
poizon [28]

Answer:

Romeo's relationship with his parents is somewhat typical. Romeo's mother and father seem to care about his well-being, but Romeo is a teenage boy who keeps secrets; the family is caring but distant. Romeo's father knows Romeo is depressed. He has observed his son's behaviour and is aware that Romeo's condition is serious (he says that Romeo's state may prove "black and portentous" if it can't be remedied). He also has tried to find out what is wrong with Romeo both on his own and with the help of friends, to no avail. So Montague is caring but incapable of bridging the distance between himself and his son, even with assistance. Lady Montague appears even more disconnected than her husband. Again, she cares--she is pleased to hear that Romeo hasn't been fighting--but seems oblivious to the deeper  problems Romeo has. In this, she appears to be even more removed from her son than her husband, for her concern seems misplaced (at least initially), for Romeo is more of a lover than a fighter.

Neither parent functions as a confidant or a guide for Romeo. He shares neither the source of his sorrow nor the source of his joy with them. He does not consider going to them for advice, but instead shares his troubles with the friar and Benvolio, neither of whom give him particularly good counsel.
