This question is missing the excerpt. I was able to find the complete question online. The excerpt is the following:

Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars."

By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence," says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees.

Answer:

They support the author's purpose because:

A. They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.

Explanation:

Sonia Nazario, born in 1960, is an American writer winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of "Children of the Drug Wars."

In the passage we are analyzing here, even without the underlined words, we can see the United States' attitude toward refugee children is being criticized. Yes, there is a refugee crisis, and the author acknowledges that when she mentions the staggering number of 52,000 children who have come to America. However, she also makes it clear that sending them away will end up killing them. Going back to their countries, where drug wars are raging, will do them no good. Also, by doing so, America's reputation will be in jeopardy.

With that in mind, the best option is letter A. They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.

I have to do a essay on an upcoming artist, I chose hip hop (rap) but I cant choose between Ski Mask, Chance The Rapper, or Kend

Lilit [14]

When trying to decide to write about anything, here is my advice to you—write about what most interests you. Thus, my first recommendation to you is to write about the artist whom you most like. My second recommendation to you would be to write about the artist who has the most written about him/her. If there is a lot written about your topic, your research will be easier, and you’ll have more perspectives from which to choose as you vet your sources. Lastly, if, however, all three artists are equally as popular, and have an equal amount written about them, then, I would suggest going with the one whom you most recently read up on because you’ll be able to write more with information that is still “fresh” in your mind.

Which sentence correctly uses an MLA in-text citation?

Helen [10]

Answer:

The sentence that correctly uses an MLA in-text citation is the following one: According to fish biologist Sarah Myers, a single carp can spawn over a million babies (145). (D)

Explanation:

In MLA style, you refer to the works of others by using what is known as parenthetical citation. That is, you should include all the relevant information regarding the source in parentheses. What is more, MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation: The author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and then a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The name of the author might appear either in the sentence or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.
