Answer:
The answer is your first option: <u>If a true utopia can ever be achieved, everyone must share the same vision and be willing to act for the common
</u>
<u>good.</u>
Explanation:
The second and third option aren't the strongest choice for an essay explaining the writer's vision of a utopia, as the third option explains how he prepared his text and well the answer is:<em> by presenting many characteristics, </em>this doesn't give us any writer's vision at all, only a structure of his text. The second option, although it is indeed presenting the writer's vision, it isn't the strongest, for it only presents three limited and specified reasons; whereas, the first option, presents two visions, but they're not limited as sharing the same vision implies many things, acting for the common good too, for instance; giving shelter to the less fortunates in cold weather, feeding people on Thanksgiving, donating clothes, etc, etc... So this is the reson why this is the strongest choice.
<span>When a social group is isolated for a long time, customs tend to ossify - making change difficult.
The verb <em>to ossify </em>in its primary meaning refers to bones hardening, to stiffening, fossilizing, solidifying, hardening. Its metaphorical meaning would be to stagnate, to cause difficulties, to cease developing, which is the meaning in the sentence above. </span>
A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement, something that sounds bigger than it actually is.
The opposite of that would be making something sound smaller, not as bad or not as good, etc, as it actually is, like an understatement.
Answer:
1. Wes' mother Joy simply wanted her son to attend a private school instead of the public schools. But the segregation suffered by Wes made him lose focus, and his mother decided to send him to a Military school.
2. It was a good investment that Wes' mother made, for the military school made Wes more disciplined and kept him away from the bad influences in his former neighborhood.
Explanation:
The book, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of two personalities named Wes. Wes whose mother was Joy had moved from Jamaica to The United States. She wanted her children to get a quality education. When she realized that the public schools were no longer in good condition she opted for a private school. The private school made her son relate with the rich kids and this made the kids in the neighborhood unhappy with Wes.
His mother noticed the distractions Wes faced, and so, she changed him to a military school. She borrowed money from family and friends to make this possible. This was a good investment because Wes succeeded in the military school and attained a good rank.
