Which excerpt from The Great Fire is a counterexample of the theme that people have the capacity to act selflessly during disast

ers?
"I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly.
I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.
The wind had increased in velocity, and burning chunks of wood were being carried for many blocks before they fell to earth.
In addition to the tiny shacks, substantial wood, brick, and stone structures were begun as well, and an army of workers emerged to do the job.

The correct answer is alternative one.

In the first excerpt, White has affectionate memories about the good-hearted and thoughtful performances that people executed at the time they moved forward. As a consequence, the passage is a good example that human beings possesss the ability to behave in a benevolent and self-sacrificing manner in the course of a catastrophe.

How do we punctuate a subordinating adverb phrase or clause that comes before the main clause?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

We put a comma after the subordinate clause.

Explanation:

When a subordinating adverb phrase or clause comes before the main clause of a sentence, the subordinate clause should be followed by a comma to separate the subordinate clause information with the independent's clause information. Here are some examples:

<u><em>After the walk,</em></u><em> we went to the shopping mall </em>(Adverb phrase underlined).

<u><em>In total silence,</em></u><em> she waited </em>(Adverb phrase underlined).

<u><em>Before you leave,</em></u><em> could you please shut the door? </em>(Adverb clause underlined)

<u><em>Since you do not care about the class</em></u><em>, you may leave the room </em>(Adverb clause underlined)

<em>Notice that the difference between adverb phrases and clauses is that clauses always have a subject and a verb while phrases do not.</em>

Considering reading comprehension, what does “summarizing" mean?
Ludmilka [50]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. Gaining the main ideas of passages or the text as a whole </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A summary gives a brief of the major points in a long piece of writing. It can be in a research paper and essays or any other piece of writing. Usually, all the main ideas should be noted in a single paragraph or two, depending on the length of the piece of paper.

A summary is usually written when the original piece may be too long for either presentation or a more fundamental understanding of the concepts. The review leaves out details and information and picks out only significant points. The info left may distract the leader from focusing on the main points.
