Genes are found in all cells of the body. They’re like chemical codes that determine a person’s physical traits. Genes determine

a person’s height, skin color, eye color, blood type, and many other things.
To see if people with the same genes had about the same intelligence levels, a group of scientists conducted a study of 20 pairs of twins. Ten pairs were identical twins, both developing from the same egg in their mother. The other ten pairs were fraternal twins. They were born at the same time but from different eggs in the mother. Identical twins have almost identical sets of genes, but fraternal twins don’t. After studying the 20 pairs of twins for 10 years, all of the individuals were given an intelligence test. Scientists found that the intelligence scores of the identical twins were very close. Overall, the test scores of the identical twins were much closer together than those of the pairs of fraternal twins.

 3  A candle flame is compared to love.

4    Love is not to be spoken. It’s to be held inside. To express love, we should whisper hopeful words to each other, especially at a time when things may look bleak and hopeless.

1. Identical twins are more likely to have roughly equal intelligence levels than fraternal twins.

2. "<span>Overall, the test scores of the identical twins were much closer together than those of the pairs of fraternal twins."


</span><span>"Ten pairs were identical twins, both developing from the same egg in their mother. The other ten pairs were fraternal twins."


The paragraphs compare the two, but show that it builds to that conclusion by showing those details. These seem like opening paragraphs too, so the final sentence would be the thesis statement. The thesis statement normally tells the reader the author's claim, so those two quotes I pointed out are its supporting details.</span>

What is a potential problem in reducing the Commandments to “Four legs good, two legs bad”?
Ann [662]
Hey there!

I assume we're talking about Animal Farm.

First of all, this statement alludes to the fact that they're trying to say that animals are good, and humans are bad- because that's the main idea in most parts of the book. The animals have risen up and created their own rules for the farm in the wake of the human oppression previously not occurring and brought to life by the speech of Old Major. There are two main problems:

First of all, the whole farm runs on animals - however, pigs remain sovereign. The problem is, although most animals do have four legs, some animals, like swans, birds, and chickens, don't. That means they're left out and perhaps their contribution to the farm can be lost as a result of the fact that their physical anatomy betrays the ideals of the Commandments.

Secondly, we discussed before how this leaves out humans. However, they need humans- especially for the windmill at the beginning. If you remember, Napoleon actually had to make deals with some, and those proved to be very beneficial. This pretty much means that Napoleon is trying to dictate the beliefs of the beings he rules, but breaks and bends his own rules when he wants. After all, he became the leader after a revolution on the farm and uses his attack dogs in place of military force. Sound familiar? Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin, and most other characters represent people from history. One of the main points of this book is looking at it from another perspective. The animals mean something, it's more a book about the actions of people.

Hope this helps!
