Answer:

The statement that would best serve as a topic sentence for a paragraph is A) Walt Whitman changed the way Americans thought of poetry.

Explanation:

A topic sentence has the goal of informing readers on what the paragraph is about. It works as a map of the paragraph, letting readers know where you are going and how you are getting there in terms of the idea being developed. The sentences that come after the topic sentence function as its support, as evidence to defend the topic.

The reason why option A serves best as a topic sentence is the fact that it is more general than the others, allowing for its development throughout a paragraph. How come Walt Whitman changed the way Americans thought of poetry? The rest of the paragraph shall unveil the answer to that.

As for the other sentences, they would serve best as evidence to a topic sentence. B could be explaining why Robert Frost is considered a great poet; C could be detailing where Emerson got inspiration from; and D could be offering insights on Franklin's life history.

I need ideas to answer this please
mart [117]

Answer:

I'm not going to question this but, me ,being myself, would most likely find out their weakness in this situation because everyone has a weakness. Zombies can't move fast because they are technically dead so yea I would suggest being quick on my feet and having an action plan. Since I am in school I wouldn't get sharp objects because they are already dead, but if i was to do so I would sneak to the science lab and grab some chemicals and safety gear for the purpose of me not harming myself. I'm alone because in this case......trust no one so yea. I would suggest getting things that don't make noise and to be quiet. Get something to mask your scent like garbage, so they can't smell you. I don't have any top 5 things though.

URGENT!<br> how having fire made man more like the Gods on Mount Olympus?
Mariulka [41]
Because it gave the humans power and like the gods. Not a mythical power, per se, but one that made the gods angry. They wanted to be superior to the humans and didn’t want humans to have any power, I don’t think. Hope this helps!
