The Dust Bowl During the 1930s, extreme drought and high winds made life incredibly difficult in the Great Plains region of the

United States. In many areas, rainfall was forty percent less than normal. The soil became extremely dry, and when strong winds blew, they created tremendous dust storms. These so-called “black blizzards” were so thick that they made daylight seem like dusk. During this terrible period, the Great Plains region of the United States was named the “Dust Bowl.” Over the next few years, the drought continued, and the winds created more dust storms. In some places, the drought and high winds lasted for eight years. Many people wondered if the black blizzards would ever end. What role does the underlined sentence serve in this paragraph? It is a fact that serves as a supporting detail. It is a statistic that serves as a supporting detail. It is an example that serves as a supporting detail. It is the topic sentence.

It's a statistic that serves as a supporting detail. It helps the reader understand just how bad the drought was.

"And Time the ruined bridge has swept" is an example of
Anna007 [38]
It would say that this sentence presents two examples of personification. 
By personification, we understand that "<span>the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form"

In this quote Time is capitalized that is why it can be considered a personification of time, it is taken as a subject. And on the other hand, the bridge is related to the verb "sweep" which is applied to people.</span>

Which sentence is the hook in this introductory paragraph? For the first time in decades, Baby Boomers have been outnumbered by
Leya [2.2K]

The hook is usually the sentence which occurs toward the beginning of the paragraph. It's main objective is to catch the readers attention and make them want to continue reading. (It's kind of like the thumbnail of a Youtube video, it catches the viewers attention.) Anyway, now that we have reviewed what a hook is, let's use the process of elimination to find our answer. A. cannot be the answer. It is a part of the beginning of the passage. It also is a fact, and is not written in a way that can attract a reader's attention and make them want to continue reading. The same goes for B. This is simply just not something that would attract a reader's attention. C is also not the answer. Once again, this statement fails to attract the reader's attention. So, this leaves us with the correct answer, D. Not only is this the first sentence in the paragraph, it also attracts the reader's attention and makes them want to read the rest of the passage.

Sources: I am a natural born American, so English is my first language. My mom is an English teacher, so I learned these types of things at a very young age.

THE RIGHT ANSWER WILL RECIEVE A BRAINLEST AND POINTS!!!
Dimas [21]
An easy example of a cause for wasting water is:
Keeping the faucet on. Even when it's very little, or on for a short time, it still wastes a lot of water.
An effect for wasting water is losing it. Water on Earth may seem unlimited, but it isn't necessarily limited. Rain comes from clouds, and clouds come from water. Some of that can't be brought back, and therefore, that makes the meaning of wasting water.
