Answer:
The option which best explains how the phrase "white granular powder" supports the author's purpose of calling attention to the environment is:
A. the powder is an unnatural substance.
Explanation:
Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964) was a marine biologist and author born in Pennsylvania. In her book "Silent Spring", Carson discusses the harm human beings have been causing to the environment.
The white granular powder mentioned in the passage is pesticide. It is an unnatural substance which is harmful not only for insects but also for the environment in general, including humans. <u>By describing it as a white granular powder, Carson's purpose is to show it is an unnatural substance. Even though it fell "like snow", it is not snow. It is not like anything that truly exists in nature. White granular powder does not fall from the sky at all, unless made by humans, which is the case here.</u>
Answer:
The answer is A
Explanation:
Sooo.... lets first eliminate
We can see that d says change its to it's
we know that is wrong because it's means it is while its means belonging to it.
It's is a contraction, meaning a shorter or "contracted" form of "it is" or "it has." (Example: It's going to rain.)
Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, "belonging to it," or a "quality of it" (Example: The carrier lost its license) or (Example: Its color is red.) So we can cross out D. For A, it is like the same thing. When “one's” is a contraction of “one is” it also requires an apostrophe: “no one's listening,” “this one's for you.” The only times “ones” has no apostrophe are when it is being used to mean “examples” or “people” as in “ripe ones” or “loved ones,” or in the informal arithmetical expression “the ones column. We can see that is correct.
Hope this helps if not pls tell me!

Answer:
- The picture is <u>too</u> high for Tom to reach.
- They are <u>used</u> to driving on the right.
- The <u>more</u> we cut trees the more disasters we will suffer.
- Sue has <u>had</u> her car repaired by a mechanic.
- They <u>wish</u> to travel in comfortable buses.
Explanation:
The sentences are rewritten employing the given words. The first sentence is a complex sentence which uses 'so...that' which can be converted into a simple sentence by replacing 'so...that followed by negative' with 'too...to' as mentioned above. Similarly, the complex idea 'that its difficult for them to drive on left' in the second sentence can be simply written that 'they...used to...left' to make it more precise. The two simple sentences in the third part can be transformed into one by using 'the more.' In the fourth sentence, the emphasis can be shifted to Sue and her car by turning it into passive form. While in the last sentence, the two distinct sentences can be united to convey the implied meaning that they yearn for travelling through comfortable buses.
