Answer:

"Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom is an autobiographical story of Mitch and how he used to have regular Tuesday meetings with his old college professor. Mitch referred to this 'class' as "A last Class" as it most probably will be the last of his professor's life as he's suffering from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

Explanation:

Mitch's book is all about the life class that he's taking from his old professor who's suffering from Lou Gehrg's disease or popularly known as ALS. This disease destroys the neurons that control the voluntary muscles. He is the student, "player" while Morrie Albom is the professor, 'Coach", just like in college.  And it will most probably be his last class with Mitch as he is going to die. It is a memoir of his days with him, and his respect for him and the wisdom he imparts to his former student.

What is significant about the set up of the book is that it gives detailed notes and thoughts on the discourse about life between the former student and his professor, representative of a class lecture, the notes neatly and carefully put in according to the dates and the detailed listing of the lessons and the 'chapter' names. The book represents the class notes that students take down from their professor's lectures, and the last class of his professor, telling him about the uselessness of material things in life that will only be nothing when one dies. It is representative of a teacher-student interaction, even though both had already been adults with successful careers.

For the answer to the question above, the last class of my old professor's life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink leaves. The class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was The Meaning of Life. It was taught from experience. It took place in <span>Morrie's little house right outside of Boston.</span>

Review the main idea. Rain barrels are easy to install and use. Which detail best supports the main idea? I made my own rain bar
Alex17521 [72]

The correct answer is: I made made my own barrel but you can buy them pretty cheaply now.

The main idea: Rain barrels are easy to install and use.

This idea needs to be supported with a sentence that relates in a logical and coherent way with it's content. In other words the following sentences need to demonstrate the reasons they barrel are cheap and easy to install, examples and facts can be given.

In the sentence chosen the author says that he made his own barrel, in this way he tries to show us that anyone can do it, an expert is not needed to perform this task, therefore they are "easy to install and use". By mentioning the low price he makes an implied relation, we associate cheap things with simple things, if the barrel was a complicated thing to use they would probably be more expensive.

The other options given just give general information related to barrels but are not able to connect with the main idea.
