Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves

as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, law–makers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.

What would be a good title for a passage that explains why water is good for
vekshin1

Answer:

B "Eight Glasses a Day Keep the Doctor Away"

Explanation:

If B doesn't seem obvious, you can use the process of elimination. "The History of Sewers" would never be a title for an article telling you that water is good for you. An article titled "The Water Cycle" would just go in depth about the water cycle. I don't even know what water fights could be used for. "Eight Glasses a Day Keep the Doctor Away" is a saying many people know, and it shows that drinking water can have health benefits.

Study the sentence below the information looks like a paragraph, but it's not can you figure out why?
Stels [109]

The information below is not a paragraph because a paragraph contains at least three to eight sentences. In this case, this is only one really long sentence

<h3>What is the difference between a sentence and a paragraph?</h3>

A sentence has at least one independent clause, which means that it has at least one subject doing at least one verb while generating a full thought.

A paragraph is made up of one or more sentences that support a single notion, which is frequently summarized in the paragraph's main sentence.

So the distinction between a sentence and a paragraph is analogous to the distinction between a brick and a building. A wall is built with many bricks, just as a paragraph is built with many phrases.

It should be noticed that each sentence functions as part of a whole to produce an overall notion or impression. A paragraph is the smallest unit or cluster of sentences that may sufficiently develop one concept.
