The example is B. sentence fragment
Answer:
One of the causes of women's issues is the myth that women are biologically inferior to men. This myth has led to years and years of oppression from men to women: not letting women vote, having to stay home and therefore not letting women work, and also men believing they can do whatever they want with women just because they are "better".
Steinem explains how women survived specific tragedies better than men and how women live longer than men, which proves women aren't inferior. However, she doesn't want to repeat what men did: <em>"I don't want to prove the superiority of one sex to another. That would only be repeating a male mistake."
</em>
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to <u>read Gloria Steinem's testimony</u> before the Senate hearings on the Equal Rights Amendment in 1970. In her testimony, she explains the myths that led to the oppression of women and she also relates it with the oppression of black people, and specifically black women.
The central idea of the text is that human beings have always placed a value on the measurement of time.
<h3>How can we identify the central idea of a text?</h3>
- Reading all the text.
- Identifying the topic addressed.
- Identifying the message conveyed by the text.
We can define the central idea as the main subject addressed in a text. In the case of the text shown above, this idea can be seen when the narrator explains the importance of measuring time and how it was necessary for humans since ancient times.
To establish this central idea, the author shows the moments in which the measurement of time is extremely necessary, in addition to showing how we would be lost without this measurement and how humans used to obtain it before the creation of the clock.

Answer:
1. The author hasn't told us the real reason of why Laura died. She has told us about their housemaid, Reenie, but we do not know how that is connected to Laura's death. Also, the author says that Laura might have her "reasons", but doesn't even tell us indirectly what those reason might be...
2. Two possible answers
- Laura's notebooks are her childhood diaries/a record of a secret relationship/a novel
OR
- Iris feels responsible for her sisters death/never loved her husband
Explanation for the 2nd one:
- The author remembers Reenie (maybe while reading one of Laura's diaries) and she also feels the need to tell Richard, her husband. But why does she feel the need to tell Richard? Maybe because Richard may have been in love with Laura, and because something went wrong (something didn't or couldn't work out) they have split up and Richard married Iris. Or maybe Iris felt some kind of anger towards Laura and that's why she married Richard (we don't quite know). And Laura may have been furious of Richard's or Iris' decision so much that she decided to kill herself (or did she? We don't know 'cause it's the first chapter). And that might be the reason Iris might have felt the need to inform Richard about Laura's death - because she thinks (or maybe knows feels) that Richard doesn't love her, he still loves Laura and that because they got married that, somehow may associate on the reason of Laura's death.
