<span>For over two hundred years, the reason for New England's Dark Day was unknown.
This represents the main idea because it lets the reader know that the passage is talking about a "Dark Day", where it happened (New England), and the fact that for over two hundred years it was a mystery. It also gives an indication that the mystery will have been solved by the end of the passage. </span>
Answer:
One way to rewrite this paragraph without figures of speech and idioms would be:
"We had the greatest vacation ever! We went to a beautiful beach. The sand was extremely white. We lay in the shade of the blowing palm trees all afternoon, watching the butterflies and birds. In the evening, the ocean was incredibly clear. We could look right down into the water and see coral reefs and bright fish. When I told my friends about it, they were all very jealous! They all said they wished they could have gone!"
Answer:
Hello Incandescent Soap,
I purchased your Apple Cinnamon body wash about a month ago, and I recieved a Plum Raisin. I've come to know that you are no longer selling the Apple Cinnamon scent, and that is the only kind that I would like to have purchased, so I am looking to get a refund for the body wash you sent me. I know that you have a 90-day return policy, but only if the bottle is unopened, and I am asking you to make an exception for my purchase because the label gave me false information. You have labeled the bottle Apple Cinnamon, which is not only misleading, but an outright lie because the actual scent of the body wash was Plum Raisin. Even though you might say that the bottle was opened and I can't get a refund for that, I think that it is unfair of you to expect me to be satisfied with a body wash of the wrong scent. You didn't even think to contact me when you took Apple Cinnamon off your listing when I had ordered it, and you took a further step by hiding the label, I know that it is only acceptable if I get my money back for this product.
Thank you,
(Your name)
