FIRST PERSON TO GET IT CORRECTLY GETS BRAINLIEST!!! BEING SERIOUS AND NOT LYING I ACTUALLY AM MARKING BRAINLIEST!!! WORTH 10 POI

NTS!!!
Marshall is revising a narrative about a detective attempting to solve a series of “catnappings.” Read this portion of his draft.

Sgt. Summers stared at a map that showed the locations of the homes from which the animals had been taken. They seemed to form a rough circle, except for one that was almost in the center of all the others. That seemed odd. The person who lived in the house was Betsy Primer. She couldn’t have anything to do with the missing cats. Or could she?

Which detail could Marshall add to this paragraph that would be relevant to the story?

A. The missing cats were all ages and breeds.
B. Betsy was a sweet woman who loved animals.
C. Sgt. Summers had worked on a similar case years before.
D. Sgt. Summers hoped to solve this case soon, since he had other cases he needed to attend to.

Answer:

B. Betsy was a sweet woman who loved animals.

Explanation:

The other answers are trivial details and are irrelevant to the story. Whether the missing cats were very different or all similar, whether or not Sgt. Summers had worked on a similar case or not, and Sgt. Summers having other cases to attend to are not very important to the narrative. However, Betsy's love of animals and sweet character are facts that could help Sgt. Summers and the reader to solve the mystery. Betsy's love of animals makes Sgt. Summers doubt she is guilty of stealing the cats at first, until he realizes that because she loves animals so much, she might have been motivated to take them all to her house.

Here is the last section of the paragraph with that sentence added in:

<em>The person who lived in the house was Betsy Primer.</em><em> </em>Betsy was a sweet woman who loved animals.<em> She couldn’t have anything to do with the missing cats. Or could she?</em>

The answer is: [C]: the shot heard round the world:
__________________________________________
Explanation: "Hyperbole" is a literary device or technique that involved exaggeration.
______________
From the answer choices given, the term: "shot heard round the world" is the only choice that fits this definition.  

Could a single "shot" really be heard: "round the world" ??

However, there could have been widespread consequences of a shot (even a single shot); or even worldwide consequences.
________________________________________
It certainly could be heard "round the field"; thus eliminating answer choice "D".

What is a paragraph that contains a topic sentence at the end of the paragraph
grigory [225]
Topic Sentence at the End of the Paragraph

While it is most common for topic sentences to begin the paragraph, they do not always do so. Consider the following sign, seen in the window of a beauty salon:
Please,
No exceptions.
Unless they are booked for service,
No Children
In this situation, No exceptions is clearly not the topic of the sign, and No Children clearly is. Yet the subject, No Children, is placed in the end rather than the head position. When this idea is extended to the paragraph, the topic sentence, placed last, serves to summarize the previous details. Paragraphs written in this way can be diagrammed as an upright triangle, with the broad base representing the topic sentence:

Topic Sentence at the End of the Paragraph
While it is most common for topic sentences to begin the paragraph, they do not always do so. Consider the following sign, seen in the window of a beauty salon:
Please,
No exceptions.
Unless they are booked for service,
No Children
In this situation, No exceptions is clearly not the topic of the sign, and No Children clearly is. Yet the subject, No Children, is placed in the end rather than the head position. When this idea is extended to the paragraph, the topic sentence, placed last, serves to summarize the previous details. Paragraphs written in this way can be diagrammed as an upright triangle, with the broad base representing the topic sentence:

Paragraphs are written in this form primarily for one of two reasons: (1) to create suspense or (2) to bring up a controversial topic only after sufficient groundwork has been laid. In the case of the sign in the beauty salon, the message is made gentler by stating the only situation in which children are allowed before stating the more controversial behest, No Children, in the final position. The act of providing convincing data or groundwork leads the reader to the topic sentence, which then also serves as the conclusion.
The following sample paragraph is an example of one in which the topic sentence and controlling idea appear in the final position:
People do it everyday. They log on to their favorite website and browse for hours, checking out bargains. They dump every possible wish into their shopping carts, knowing they can cast each one aside before they finalize their purchases. On the way, they may enter a sweepstakes in the hopes of winning a trip to Cabo San Lucas, or maybe even a new SUV. And then, when they have decided on their purchases, they enter private information without giving it a thought. With a keystroke, they release their personal data into what may or may not be a secure zone. Despite what much of the public believes, internet shopping is not safe.
In this paragraph, the idea that internet shopping may not be safe could be considered controversial. For this reason, groundwork is laid before the final, topic sentence is stated.
