Answer:

The natives did not care about the elephant destroying their homes.

Explanation:

This is the irony that the speaker tries to highlight in the passage. In this text, the speaker feels concerned and overwhelmed at the idea of shooting the elephant. He does not want to do it, but feels forced to because the natives demand it. However, ironically, there does not seem to be any good reason to do so besides the spectacle, as the natives did not seem particularly upset when the elephant was destroying their homes.

What would be the most effective way for Mirai to include this research in her essay? She should quote the first sentence direct
BaLLatris [955]

This question is incomplete because the passage from the source Miral wants to include is missing; here is the passage:

Read the excerpt from a credible source for Mirai's research-based essay on the effects of the declining bee population.

Honeybees play a major role in the pollination of produce sold in the United States. Without the prolific support of honeybees, the nation's agricultural economy will suffer losses as great as those in the bee population.

The correct answer to this question is C. She should quote the second sentence directly, because it establishes important supporting evidence in a unique way.

Explanation:

In general, you can include credible sources by quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing this. Additionally, it is recommended to paraphrase or summarize the information if the information is general or can be restated without losing its essence. On the opposite, you should quote if the wording is unique, which means using your own words will affect the essence of the information, and if the piece of evidence directly supports the main argument.

According to this, in the source presented it recommended Mirai quotes the second sentence because this directly supports her main argument about the effects of the decline in the bees population. Also, the wording on it is unique and would be difficult to replace. For example, the expression "the nation's agricultural economy will suffer losses as great as those in the bee population" would lose its argumentative strength unique style if it is paraphrased or summarized.
