Answer:

The claim that the excerpt most clearly supports seems to be:

D. Without humanity's presence, New York City would quickly deteriorate.

Explanation:

This excerpt taken from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us" discusses how the human presence keep New York from becoming a disastrous chaos. As the author explains, without power and people to pump the water out, the subway systems of New York would be completely flooded. If it rains, it would only take some hours for it to be underwater; if it doesn't, just a couple of days. The author is showing readers that the city only functions because of the people who work to ensure it. If humans were to disappear, it wouldn't be long before the world became wild and nature claimed everything man has ever built.

Which of the following sentences uses the word improbable correctly?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The sentence that uses the word improbable correctly is:

C. It is highly improbable that James will make it to class today; he has food poisoning.

Explanation:

"Improbable" is an adjective that means something is not likely to happen or to be true. But, in options A and B, "improbable" was used as a noun and as a verb, respectively. It also makes no sense to use "improbable" in the contexts given in each sentence. We can, thus, eliminate both options. Letter C, however, is correct. The word is used as it is supposed to, and it makes sense when inserted in the context - it is very unlikely that James will make it to class today.
