Nutrias are causing major problems in Louisiana. Someone brought the rodents to the state 40 years ago, hoping to make a fortune

from the furs. Nobody wanted to buy the furs, and now the animals roam freely. They're destroying the wetlands. They eat the roots of the water plants along the canals. The plants die, and the banks of the canals begin to erode. The animals are costing the state millions of dollars, and no one seems to know what to do with them. What sentence from the passage best describes the central idea?

Answer:

Nutrias are causing major problems in Louisiana.

Explanation:

Central Idea = the main idea of a text; kind of like a thesis in an essay

This sentence is the central idea because all of the other sentences support it. The other sentences in the paragraph explain and give examples as to why Nutrias are a problem in Louisiana. Therefore, the first sentence best describes the central idea of the passage.

~Peer Counseling~
Whitepunk [10]

This exercise is about Peer Counselling.

<h3>What is Peer Counselling?</h3>

This refers to the counseling technique involving the exchange of experiences and listening to one another by people who themselves need help from a person or group of persons with similar experiences.  It is based largely on empathy, communication, and understanding.

<h3> </h3><h3 /><h3>The action I took</h3><h3 />

I joined a group of people who were interested in overcoming stage fright.

<h3>The benefits I received</h3><h3 />
  • It was a great relief to know that lots of people, including people that I looked up to were working on the same problem;
  • As they shared their experiences, I gained the confidence to at least try.
<h3 /><h3>About the others</h3>

I was shy to learn to say as much as the others, but most of them encouraged me to say more by nodding their heads. I also felt like my contribution was valued when it was reiterated by the moderator and when others clapped thereafter.

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

I'm taking my cousin there at the next session. This program should be made more public. I don't think I will ever be the same again because finally, I am finding my voice and myself.

atroni [7]

What is the difference between an opinion and an argument, and which one helps us better understand the past? An opinion is usually defined as a belief or view held by an individual.
