Review the main idea. Rain barrels are easy to install and use. Which detail best supports the main idea? I made my own rain bar
Alex17521 [72]

The correct answer is: I made made my own barrel but you can buy them pretty cheaply now.

The main idea: Rain barrels are easy to install and use.

This idea needs to be supported with a sentence that relates in a logical and coherent way with it's content. In other words the following sentences need to demonstrate the reasons they barrel are cheap and easy to install, examples and facts can be given.

In the sentence chosen the author says that he made his own barrel, in this way he tries to show us that anyone can do it, an expert is not needed to perform this task, therefore they are "easy to install and use". By mentioning the low price he makes an implied relation, we associate cheap things with simple things, if the barrel was a complicated thing to use they would probably be more expensive.

The other options given just give general information related to barrels but are not able to connect with the main idea.

The difference between epic poetry and medieval romances
galben [10]

epics

•place a lot of the focus on character development and how the character grows throughout the poem

•a main storyline is a single character fighting for the survival of a large nation or society of people

•the protagonist always has heroic reason to fight (to protect his people,to gain honor, riches, etc)

•an epic usually ends in tragedy

romance

•the main focus of the poem is not on the character but rather on the Adventure itself

•the protagonist in a romance is more static, usually concerned only of a single group, family, or class (ex:a knight of the round table)

•the reader is concerned with how the protagonist will face certain trial

•fight for the sake of personal reason (love,god,chivalry)

•romances tend to have happy ending and everything tends to fall into place at last moment
