Answer:

A.) The subject was dropped, but it was clear that it would be brought up again

Explanation:

This is the most exact, given the fact that the senteces states tha in the meantime curiosity was taking a fresh start, this sentece states that they knew that it´d come up again and that they´d be debating the subject again because there was a revival of the interest.

<span>A.) The subject was dropped, but it was clear that it would be brought up again.</span>

The first sentence is the most exact and the most precise because of how the idea is communicated in least amount of words possible.  It is important to keep in mind that when you are writing something that comprehension always goes down the more words there are in a sentence.  Thus, it is always best to communicate with the fewest words possible.  Let’s take a look at another example.  Say you are at a baseball game and a fly ball is coming directly toward you without your knowledge, and the person sitting next to you tries to warn you by saying the following:  “Because of the velocity of a baseball coming in your direction and the potential damage it may cause if it comes into contact with your head because you are not wearing a helmet and because ambulance rides as well as emergency room visits are not fun nor cheap, you should probably seek to get out of the way as soon as possible.”  How would that work?  Now, compare that to the more exact/precise sentence of “Duck!”  See how that works?

A direct comparison between two unlike things
Dmitry [639]
If they're unlike things - it would be a metaphor.
When it comes to similes - you use words such as like or as when describing things. and since it emphasizes "unlike" things - metaphor would be the way to go.
It's quite hard sometimes when it comes for deciphering the two if you're familiar with the rule - so just remember: Simile: like or as.
Metaphor: extreme exaggeration, or a comparison without using like or as.
I hope all is well, and you pass! (: Good luck, rockstar! (:

What’s an opening paragraph for a story about a radioactive alligator that can shoot lasers out of his eyes, has super strength
-Dominant- [34]

It was finally D-day. We were super excited to be visiting the 'R-Zoo' as it was called ('R' for Radioactive). The zoo was the only one of its kind, with its main attraction being its extremely fierce radioactive alligator. That is precisely where we were headed first. As soon as we entered the somewhat dimly lit cavern, we could hear a roar from the crowd, with a preceding crackling sound, something that resembled a burst of lightning and the sharp wham of something very heavy falling onto the ground. It was a huge banyan tree that was lying horizontally at the edge of the water. At first, we didn't notice anything much except the brown wooden log and the glistening water. It was only when the log started moving that we could make out <em>what</em> was moving it - a huge, menacing, scaly creature with jaws powerful enough to hurl the heavy tree out of the water, laser-like eyes glinting with anger at probably being disturbed out of its reverie, and a body that seemed to be emitting sparks at regular intervals, igniting the dry leaves that came in its way.

What was jupiter and his mighty company motivation to drive the titans away
asambeis [7]

Answer:

James Baldwin (1841-1925) was an educator and prolific children’s book author who re-wrote many classic legends and myths for young readers. Myths and folktales can tell us a lot about how the world came to be and, even now, prompt us to ask ourselves questions about the world. Many cultures depend on mythology to express their values, histories, and systems of thought. Greek and Roman myths have been widely read in the West and translated into various different styles and genres: from sophisticated poetry to novel adaptations and even movies. In this myth, James Baldwin retells the tale of Jupiter and His Mighty Company in an accessible style. As you read, take note of some of the themes within the myth and how they might teach us lessons about the world we live in today.

Another answer:: They drove the Titans away because the Titans tried to kill the gods and their father, Kronos, ate Jupiter's older siblings, Jupiter is the youngest of Kronos's children.
