I believe the correct answer is: D. The author humanizes the
prion with playful language by saying "[i]f it manages to burrow into a
corner."
In this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer”, the example
in which the author keepings a lively tone even while discussing a disease is:
"[i]f it manages to burrow into a corner."
As opposed to the terminology author uses (such as: bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)), the informal language of more commonly
understandable comparison gives the lively tone to this excerpt, even though he
is addressing the serious disease. Other example of this would be: "a
little bit squishy and maybe a little bit sticky".
Answer:
Very important. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence setting out what will be discussed. The body should contain properly structured sentences (no fragments or runons) containing supporting details—examples, explanations, or events. The concluding sentence should indicate in some way that the topic is completed or hint at the topic of the following paragraph. The writing should be concise but meaningful using well chosen words and avoiding repetition (except for rhetorical effect). Avoid bland words and cliches, and look for verbs that convey two ideas (such as paced for walked nervously) and replace it and they with the names of things.
