6 0

Answer:

If you're a teen who loves dogs, and you're looking to make a little extra money,  dog walking is certainly worth a look.

Explanation:

The central idea of any given passage is the main theme or point that the writer(s) wants to relay in it. This allows the most important idea or main ideas to be expressed and presents the main topic of what the whole passage is really about.

In the given passage, the author talks about how young people, especially teenagers should look into the dog-walking' business instead of babysitting or shoveling snow for a little extra money. Dog walking, according to the author, is <em>"very fun and highly profitable" </em>and does not require much of anything except being familiar and like dogs. And so, <u>the central idea of the whole passage seems to be that teens who love dogs and would want to make a little extra money should go for the dog-walking business</u>.

<u>Answer</u>:

- The sign cautioned swimmers to stay within the designated swimming area–adverbial phrase.

- The lifeguards on the beach watched the swimmers carefully–adjectival phrase.

- Children and their parents built sandcastles with tall towers–adjectival phrase

- Seagulls soared over the water, searching for food–adjectival phrase.

<u>Explanation</u><em>:</em>

<em>- The sign cautioned swimmers to stay within the designated swimming area:</em>

In this sentence, the word "within" acts as an adverbial phrase telling us where the swimmers were asked to stay. And the words "stay within the designated swimming area" is a prepositional phrase since it uses the preposition "within".

<em>- The lifeguards on the beach watched the swimmers carefully</em>:

Remember, adjectives are known for ending with 'ly', and the word "carefully" modifies the sentence, telling us how the lifeguards watched the swimmers.

<em>- Children and their parents built sandcastles with tall towers:</em>

This is the case because the adjective "tall" is used in the sentence to modify the word "tower", in a sense telling us the type of towers built.

<em>- Seagulls soared over the water, searching for food:</em>

The adjective "searching" is used to modify the entire sentence telling us what the Seagulls soared the waters for.

How do these lines develop the theme that a life momentarily
Katena32 [7]

I have found this question online. The lines it refers to are:

"The sled and traveler stopped, the courier's feet

Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit

Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed

In a tumultuous privacy of storm."

Answer:

The lines develop the theme that a life momentarily delayed means a loss of control in the following manner:

B. They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it.

Explanation:

The lines above belong to the poem "The Snow-Storm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson. They beautifully show how nature cannot be controlled by man. When a snowstorm hits, there is nothing people can do. They must simply sit safely somewhere and wait for it to pass. They have no control over the storm's intensity or over how long it will last. Their lives are delayed by the storm and all they can do is accept it. With that in mind, we can choose letter B as the correct answer:

B. They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it.
