English
1 answer:
nalin [4]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: C. sat always at my right hand.

Explanation:

Robinson Crusoe is the protagonist of Daniel Defoe's novel of the same name (1719).

In this particular excerpt, Crusoe describes his pets and their habits. His parrot Poll is the only one who talks to him, his dog always sits at his right hand, and the two cats sit on the two opposite sides of the table. The way he talks about his pets indicates that he is preoccupied with mastery. This is evident because his dog is always beside him, which is Crusoe's way to establish authority and have everything under control. He is the dog's master, and the dog must obey him.

g100num [7]
The answer is the last choice, or D.

When you summarize, you're supposed to gather the most important points and rewrite them in a shorter and more simplified fashion. The first three choices include mostly everything you should do when writing a summary. Usually when you summarize, it's for a concluding paragraph, so writing an introductory paragraph wouldn't be it.

is it important for teenagers to pay attention to world news? I need 1 paragraph for one reason tysm :)
oee [108]
I believe it is important for teenagers to pay attention to world news because it helps them understand the world; that the world is not perfect and that there are: unethical crimes, natural disasters in different parts of the world, and poverty. Teenagers can see the world problems people are suffering in by emotion, tragic images, and in video so they can be in the shoes of other people. The world is changing everyday and teenagers are the first ones to experience the worldly problems because they come from a generation that is the birth of electronics. Teenagers can witnesses society in world news headlines. Hope this helps :)
