(1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called

tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate.

The correct answer is D. There is no single topic sentence.

Explanation:

A topic sentence is a sentence that summarizes the main idea of a paragraph, this sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph and states what the paragraph is about. On the other hand, the paragraph presented here deals with multiple topics or concepts including the Earth's crust, the plates, the Earth's mantle, volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges, this means the paragraph is related to geography but explores multiple ideas that are not summarized in any of the sentences presented in the paragraph, neither at the beginning nor at the end of it. Thus, as there is no any sentence or phrase that states what the paragraph is about as a unit or summarizes all the ideas of the paragraph there is no a single topic sentence because this paragraph includes multiples ideas that might be difficult to summarize in only one topic sentence.

kykrilka [37]
If this was the missing paragraph 6:
<span>"The details of Napoleon's death are unclear. However, there is no question that people today are getting ill and dying from arsenic poisoning. Arsenic compounds occur naturally in the earth's makeup. Contamination of ground water has been found in many countries, including Argentina, Chile, China, India, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and even the United States. It is a global problem." 
</span>
<span>The best question to ask after reading paragraph 6 is:
How did the ground water in these countries become contaminated? 

It is the best question because the contamination has already reached numerous countries and it should be stopped before it becomes a bigger global problem by contaminating other countries. </span>

In “Broadcaster John Hilton Talks about Talking,” what is used to contribute to a stream-of-consciousness style of writing?
4vir4ik [10]
I have not read the passage myself, but here are some helpful tips that can help you to figure it out. An ellipses is a series of three periods (...). Imagery is description that involves the senses, typically sight. Whatever the story makes you visualize is its imagery. Metaphors are figures of speech that contain comparisons, but do not use "like" or "as." Examples of metaphors include "the blanket of snow" or "the curtain of night." A setting is when or where the story takes place. Hope this helps.

Write a Brief Paragraph Using the Following words. Please
Georgia [21]
Last year my family and I went on a camping trip to the Mississippi river. It was intended to be a peaceful getaway but quickly turned into quite an adventure. On our way to the campground a small dog ran out from behind a tree and ran right across the road. Thankfully my dad quickly swerved leaving it unharmed. That dog did a dangerous maneuver and he didn’t even bark! At our campsite was a basket full of squirrel treats. They really pushed feeding them. They wanted the squirrels to get as much food and grow so the dragons can eat them. The dragons are giant! And they live in big dark caves. We wanted to visit one so we did. We saved a lot of time by riding our bikes instead of walking. When we got there we were trembling. What human being goes to a dragons cave? We were terrified. The ground around us started shaking. I opened my eyes to my mom shaking me to wake up. We were about to miss the plane!
