Answer:

The best option is indeed letter D. Controlled burns duplicate natural fires that have always helped prairies prosper, so they are valuable to our natural landscape.

Explanation:

Even though all the options provided are closely related to the topic sentence at the beginning, we were asked to choose the one that would be most appropriate to start the conclusion. A conclusion has the purpose or restating what was previously claimed in a shorter way. Basically, it should claim the author's opinion again, but in fewer words. The conclusion should never present new information, otherwise it will be just and extent of the text's body.

The claim made in the topic sentence is basically that controlled fires are a worry to some people, but that they help the environment. We assume then that, throughout the text, the author has presented arguments that prove people they shouldn't worry about controlled fires for several reasons and that prairies actually benefit from them. Letter D presents a brief restatement of all that: if controlled fires duplicate natural fires, they are not really polluting and, therefore, there is nothing to worry about. If they help prairies prosper, they are helping the environment. If we were to choose any of the other options, we would be choosing the explanation and arguments that would be better presented in the text's body. For the conclusion, letter D is the best choice.

Answer:

The imagery of Sir Ralph's reaction affects the mood of this stanza by creating an anguished mood. <u>The correct answer is C.</u>

State at least one barriers in communication. How can you overcome thisbarrier?​
vampirchik [111]
One barrier in communication is being deaf (hard of hearing). This can cause many difficulties in communication due to people not hearing you. Although to overcome this barrier we can learn ASL (American sign language) to speak to each other in another language using our hands.
This is just an example but the main focus is dead and ASL to overcome hope this helps :)
