The correct answer is A) the powder is an unnatural substance.

The statement that best explains how the phrase “white granular powder” supports the author’s purpose of calling attention to the environment is "the powder is an unnatural substance."

Unfortunately, you did not include further context, excerpt, or references. But it seems you are talking about an excerpt of the book "Silent Spring," written by American author Rachel Carson.

Rachel Carson's book, “Silent Spring”, shocked the world in 1962 because it created a consciousness of the use of DDT and the terrible consequences it had on human diseases. Nobody before Carson’s conclusions had thought on this serious issue.

The book was the originator of environmental and ecological movements that targeted the use of chemicals and the support for nature and life. “Silent Spring” impacted the world after knowing the dangers of toxic chemical pollutants in the air.

Acrostic poem for the words NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Firdavs [7]

Nothing is revealed without the truth

Of our voices

Together, we shall stand to discover what

Hides beneath all of the forbidden lies

In seeking this truth, we will discover who lies guilty and

Not guilty

Go forth to the podium of exposure


Because what we do not reveal can hurt us all

Until the truth is pledged

There can be no stone unturned


There can be no lies in the chiseled building of truth

Hark! For I will reveal

Everything that I know


The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

Recalling actions that are no longer

Untold, for

The truth resides in me, and I pledge to tell it with

Haste

Read the excerpt from sir Gawain and the green knight and complete the sentence
tia_tia [17]

The correct answers are A. girdle and B. shame.


Sir Gawain wore a green girdle (which is practically a belt) around his neck which was given to him by the Green Knight's wife. In the beginning, the girdle represented his strength, but later on it gained the meaning of his shame. He took another man's wife and he dishonored his lord so he started wearing the girdle as a symbol of that.

Which of these sentences uses quotation marks correctly?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A is wrong because it has a period after, <em>down</em> when it should be a comma.  The comma signals that that part of the sentence is what he is saying.  He is also capitalized when it should be lower case.  B is wrong because it has nothing after, <em>down</em> and nothing after <em>said</em>.  C is wrong because again, there's nothing after <em>down.</em>  The part option C did get right is the comma after said.  D has all the commas in the right places and all the words are capitalized when they're supposed to.
