The short italicized sections of the book contain the introduction of the ‘author’ of the book who establishes himself as a character in the text. It tells of his travels and adventures in the hopes of publishing a book. He already had two books that flunked and thus he traveled to Bombay. Here he became dejected as his goal to write about Portugal did not materialize. He wandered through India and reached the town of Pondicherry which was once controlled by the French Empire. He met Francis Adirubasamy who became a pivotal character and started the ball rolling to create a book that is ‘nonfiction’;  fact that was reestablished in other parts of the book with the same fashion. </span>

Which statement would best serve as a claim for an argument?
Nat2105 [25]
Think about what a claim is. a claim is something that you state, even if you don't have proof. choice C is a fact, not a claim--it would be used as evidence to support a claim, but it doesn't serve as a claim itself.

i would say that B is the most appropriate claim to argue that people should be more nutritionally knowledgeable. choice D is almost a counterargument, in a sense, because it lists a flaw with food labels. choice A is a statement, but it can be proven with evidence--one could look at a food label to search for the listed items.

Which of these was a consequence for farmers during the Dust Bowl?
Dominik [7]
The Dust Bowl was a period in the thirties when severe dust storms devastated all crops and other ecological components in several American and Canadian soils. This was partly caused by drought as well as the farmers' improper practices.

Because at least a year's worth of crops were gone, the bank cannot buy them and there would be no way for the value of their crops to increase either. Also, they would not be aiming to covet each other's land since most of the land eroded that period, too.

As a consequence for farmers, the government took their land. This was also done by the government in an effort to mitigate the damages done to the areas.

ANSWER: A.
