I looked this question up and was able to find two answer options for it:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
B. Douglass and Jacobs both escaped from slavery in the 1800's.
Answer:
The main idea of the passage is:
A. Douglass and Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experience as slaves.
Explanation:
From the passage, we can safely infer that both Douglass and Jacobs escaped slavery in the 1800's taking into consideration the year they were born. However, that is not the focus of the paragraph. Notice how the author compares Douglass' and Jacobs' lives, focusing especially on the fact that they both wrote autobiographies and became supporters of the antislavery movement. This is the main idea of the passage: that Douglass and Jacobs become authors and that they described their own experience as slaves in their books.
Answer:
1 and 2 are the dependent clauses
Explanation:
If someone wrote you a letter that just had "Mrs. Basel, Mrs. Bates, and Mrs. Wonders" on it, you'd be pretty confused at what message they were trying to convey, same with "Are pretty legit teachers." However, if you received a letter with just "I love ELA!" or "Reading makes me happy" on it, you'd understand the message just fine. 3 and 4 can be spoken normally on their own; however, 1 and 2 need another clause to make sense.
Answer:
THE JUNK
In a non-descript town, Adam sat across a chair in a bar sipping whiskey and looking for a su cker who he can make a quick cash off. Adam has always been the rough, brawny type who has never done any honest job in his life, because according to him, the only money to be made was easy money.
As Adam was thinking, a man and woman walked into the bar and appeared to be arguing about something. He ignored them, even though he noted the girl was good looking, but he resumed his solemn thoughts as he ordered a refill.
The man came and sat two chairs away from Adam and ordered a glass of bourbon while the girl stormed out after another argument. Two drinks later and the man was already drunk and was talking his head off to Adam. He was on a treasure hunt with the girl and they discovered some worthless junk, but from the description, Adam immediately realized that what the man found was very valuable indeed.
Adam persuaded the man to show him where it was and when he saw it and confirmed his suspicion, he immediately offered $50 for the 'junk' so the man wouldn't get suspicious and after some haggling he parted with $60 for the 'junk'. Adam could scarcely believe his luck as the 'junk' was actually worth over $6,000 and went home happily, whistling. No better money to make than easy money.
