Answer:
It has two paragraphs: one for the thesis and one for background.
Explanation:
Paragraph 1: Thesis states the claim "Of all the mysteries in the world, none has been as popular as that of the Loch Ness Monster." we can determine that the first paragraph is the thesis (because most are).
Paragraph 2: gives background on the story, where it originated, and why it is such a great mystery.
The theme of that story is probably like this:A Lion, an Donkey, and a Fox were hunting in company, and caught a large quantity of game. The Donkey was asked to divide the spoil. This he did very fairly, giving each an equal share.
The Fox was well satisfied, but the Lion flew into a great rage over it, and with one stroke of his huge paw, he added the Donkey to the pile of slain.
Then he turned to the Fox.
“You divide it,” he roared angrily.
The Fox wasted no time in talking. He quickly piled all the game into one great heap. From this he took a very small portion for himself, such undesirable bits as the horns and hoofs of a mountain goat, and the end of an ox tail.
The Lion now recovered his good humor entirely.
“Who taught you to divide so fairly?” he asked pleasantly.
“I learned a lesson from the Donkey,” replied the Fox, carefully edging away.
There is only one sentence among these that contains a dependent clause, and that is the third option - Although the rain poured down, the Eagles and Panthers continued their soccer game.
The remaining sentences are all simple, meaning they contain only one independent clause (except for sentence 2, which is compound, meaning it has 2 independent clauses).
Where is the answer options at?
I haven't seen any of them
