Answer:

B. “Science said, ‘It is possible’”

Explanation:

The span was beautiful and astonishing that grabbing attention of everyone and despite the many doubts of the people of New York science made the construction of the bridge or span possible.

The great structure of the span is itself a wonder and person can feel proud for making it possible. So, this phrase “Science said, ‘It is possible’”  is a fact that supports the opinion that the bridge is “a wonder of science”.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. “Science said, ‘It is possible’”.

When note-taking during research, what is the best answer for the items should you keep notes about?
OleMash [197]

Research can be tricky because you need to plan.  You must know what your topic is and what your stance is on that topic.  You can then create a chart that has your thesis statement in one box, and your topics in three different boxes thereby as you research, you can put the information you find in those boxes.  For example:  Let's say you are researching the effects of smoking.  Your thesis statement would say something like: Smoking is harmful for your health because it can stunt your growth, cause cancer, and cost several hundred dollars a year.  

Then as you research, you would note supporting details (facts) for how is 1. stunts your growth, 2. causes cancer, and 3. costs money.  

So....you should keep notes about your topics for your body paragraphs.

1. Read the sentence. Carol is dedicated to the study of marine life. Which supporting details is least supportive of the main i
Nutka1998 [239]
The correct answer is Carol has a cottage near the shore.
This supporting detail has nothing to do with her study of marine life. She could have this cottage because she inherited it, or she just likes the place - it doesn't really contribute to her love or study of marine life. The other options clearly support why she is studying marine life, whereas the one with the cottage does not.
