Answer:

C

Explanation: This is the only answer that explains exactly what the essay is about. A and D only talk about one branch, not all three. If you use A or D as a topic sentence the reader will think the essay is only about one branch. B talks about the different names of the federal government , not the branches themselves which may lead the reader to think that the essay is about the different names of the federal government.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The case for diversity cites a study by a Nobel prize-winning scientist that shows when diversity is introduced in a group, the entire group benefits, not just the minority individuals.

Appeal to authority.

Do you really want to spend your time with a bunch of bigots and extremists who are afraid of people who don't look like them?

Appeal to emotion

Diversity makes sense when you think about it. How do people learn? Not by encountering the same old thing over and over again, but by encountering new things. And diversity introduces new things, and new people, into your environment.

Appeal to logic.

An appeal to authority which is also known as Argumentum ad Verecundiam that uses the opinion of a figure of authority to back up a claim or support an argument.

An appeal to emotion is used to stir up the emotions of a person so as to convince them about a proposition.

An appeal to logic is used by showing reasons why a person should do something, what would happen when the person fails to do it and why an option is the best possible solution.

What quality of the locomotives does the consonance of the r sound in the sentence below suggest?
velikii [3]
The repetition of the r sound in "heaR", "Rushing", "RoaRing", and "shRill" suggests the image and sound of the train rushing past. When something fast moves by you, there's a rush of air that flies by, and this sound and movement of air, mixed with the grinding of the train on the tracks is meant to be represented by the 'r' sound, based on the consonance in the line.
