So based on the given rough-draft paragraph above, the statement that would best describe the mistake the writer makes in this paragraph is that, the writer <span>loses focus and shifts to another topic. In the first part, it was talking about exercise and examples, then the topic changes to new year's resolution, then it changes again to balanced diet. The main topic of the sentence is no longer followed. Hope this answer helps.</span>
Answer:
Compassion is what led Lizabeth's revelation about what she had done.
Explanation:
<u><em>"This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot have both compassion and innocence."</em></u>
Lizabeth is the narrator and main character in the short story "Marigolds", by Eugenia Collier. It is the adult Lizabeth narrating the revelation she had at the age of 14, after destroying the garden of marigolds her neighbor, Miss Lottie, grew with so much care.
Before this event, Lizabeth and the other children would tease Miss Lottie, calling her a witch, and throwing stones at her property. They live in an extremely poor neighborhood, and the story is set during the Great Depression. Everything is dilapidated, the only beauty being the Miss Lottie's garden. When Lizabeth hear her father's words of desperation for not being able to provide for his family, she gets angry. Her rage is what drives her to destroy the beautiful garden, as if Lizabeth did not want anyone to have beauty and happiness if she and her family could not have it.
<u>However, for the first time in her life, Lizabeth understands the cruelty of what she has done. It was "the beginning of compassion" and the end of her childish innocence. Lizabeth finally understands why Miss Lottie's has the marigolds. It is precisely because life is miserable and difficult, because the world is ruthless. It was the only source of solace and beauty the woman had, and it was now gone. Compassion, shame, awkwardness arise in Lizabeth. Her understanding of the world is now different, new.</u>

Answer:
Cristóbal Colón fue un marino y colonizador genovés que, al servicio de los Reyes Católicos de España, realizó cuatro viajes a través del Océano Atlántico, que despertaron el interés en Europa por un nuevo continente, más tarde llamado América. Estas expediciones y los esfuerzos de Colón por establecer asentamientos permanentes en La Española iniciaron la colonización española, que resultó en una competencia entre las potencias europeas para colonizar América del Sur y del Norte.
En un momento en que comenzó la dominación mundial europea y la competencia entre los reinos europeos, que intentaban enriquecerse estableciendo rutas comerciales y colonias, la propuesta de Colón de llegar a Asia circunnavegando la Tierra hacia el oeste recibió el apoyo de la corte real española, que vio esperanza para el comercio de especias. Durante su primer viaje en 1492, Colón llegó a las costas de las Bahamas en lugar del Japón planeado y aterrizó en un lugar que llamó San Salvador. Durante otras tres expediciones, visitó las Antillas Mayores y Menores, las costas de Venezuela y Centroamérica, que tomó para el Imperio español.
El deterioro de las relaciones con la corte real española y los administradores coloniales en América llevó al arresto y destitución de Colón como gobernador de La Española en 1500 y luego prolongó las disputas sobre los beneficios que Colón quería para él y sus herederos de la corte real. Al final, logró superar solo algunos de ellos. Murió en Valladolid y sus restos se encuentran ahora en la Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Sevilla.
