It was this experience that Thoreau wrote about in an essay called "Civil Disobedience." In this essay, he argued that being mor

al and just came before allegiance to government. He wrote "If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law."

Answer:

Thoreau gave much thought to his form of rebellion.

Explanation:

This is the sentence that best expresses the main idea of the paragraph. The sentence tells us that Thoreau had thought about his ideas carefully, and that he had a well-constructed, logical justification for civil disobedience. Thoreau clearly had spent a lot of time thinking about this form of rebellion. He was not only convinced of his position but he summarized his views in his essay.

lianna [129]

Answer:

Prediction strategy improves;

  1. Active thought process
  2. Critical thinking
  3. Active reading
  4. Improves Concentration
  5. Finding answers to the question (problem solving)

All the above factors improve student's overall comprehension.

Explanation:

Prediction strategy is a technique to predict what will happen next or throughout the text by using text title, chapter names, headings, sub-headings, and pictures.

Prediction encourages the students to carefully think, and analyze the available information and prior knowledge to ask questions and find possible answers to those questions.

It also improves recalling and using prior knowledge learned from books, society, and personal experiences. This will make students actively involved with the reading process.

Making predictions will also encourage and improve students' critical thinking. They will analyze, would make claims, find evidences, and would use trial and error.

In short prediction strategy improves students' concentration, active thinking and reading, critical thinking, use of prior knowledge, and make the reading process interesting and useful.

In at least two hundred words, explain why “The Garden of Forking Paths” can be seen as a “three-dimensional chess game.”
Morgarella [4.7K]

Borges's story The Garden of Forking Paths can be considered to be a three dimensional chess game for a variety of reasons.  First, like a game of chess, a nearly infinite number of possible outcomes are proposed through the story (just as how a chess game can allow for a variety of different outcomes).  Also, chess is a game of choice, just as the Garden of Forking Paths - both the story itself and the novel of the same titles mentioned in the story - allows for the reader to, in essence, choose their own design and strategy.  Furthermore, the lead character\protagonist in the story is manipulating events throughout the story to, in essence, score a "checkmate."
