Answer:

Explanation:

Definition of a "bombshell": (noun) an overwhelming surprise or disappointment.

Using the method of elimination, we can immediately write off options B and D, because they have nothing to do with surprise or disappointment. This leaves A and C. C, while seeming tedious and hinting at some sort of emotion, talks about the physical shell of a pea, which isn't surprise or disappointment. We can now deduct that A is the right answer.

"After the shock" tells us that the subject of the sentence has just gone through a very startling revelation. Because our word is "bombshell", we can rightfully assume that this revelation was overwhelmingly surprising or disappointing.

"He was a shell of the person he once had been" implies that the subject of the sentence is no longer the same after this shocking news. Because the word "bombshell" is tied with intense emotion and surprise, the way "shell" is used to describe the subject would be an appropriate use of the word "bombshell".

2) Examine each of the following topics. Determine if the topic is too broad, too narrow, or appropriate for the research essay.

fenix001 [56]

The history of manned space flight: The topic is appropriate for research because it is specific and will find almost the same information in every source you consult.
Breeds of dogs in the Westminster Dog Show: The topic is too narrow which might make the research a little empty (with not too much information).
The history of domestic animals (house pets): The topic is too broad and the research might not be focused but too general.
The results of Project Genome: The topic is appropriate for research because it is relevant and specific
The formation of cumulonimbus clouds: The topic is too narrow and might make the research empty/flat and lacking in relevance
The results of the Battle of Gettysburg: The topic is appropriate for research because it is historically relevant.

EXTRA INFO:

When you start developing a specific topic, the main problem you may face is having a topic that is too narrow or too broad.

Your topic is too narrow when you find very little information about it

Your topic is too broad when you find too many sources or too much information that it might not even be focused but too general.

And when your topic is appropriate it is when you find the important and needed information or you could also narrow a topic that is too broad.

Hope this answer helps you! Have a great day.
