This is a question of morals and ethics, and the answer will depend on your own personal, subjective opinions.
On one hand, some people would say that we should experiment as much as we can - going to such lengths where the modification through genetic engineering will allow us to create new humans based on our wants and needs. We will be able to choose our baby's eye color, hair color, everything we might want to do will be possible, and for some people, that is a welcome future.
However, on the other hand, there is also a large number of people who are against such modifications, primarily because it is immoral and 'against God.' In their opinion, we are playing God, doing what we were not supposed to do, and therefore will have to pay the price.
It all depends on how you look at the subject - it is quite personal.
Answer:
c The longhorns had been skittish, but Johnny Chillers—who was named for the old Chillers trail—sang to them whenever they started to spook to calm them down.
Explanation:
The best revision that corrects Sam's error in the use of dashes to set off a clause is option C because it correctly separates the group of words which indicates a pause to emphasize that what Johnny Chillers was named after.
An em dash is used to show a pause and are also used to separate groups of words and their usage can be interchanged with commas or hyphens.
The main idea of the paragraph must encompass all the ideas stated by the supporting details. In this paragraph, the main idea would be: There was a time when the Church was very powerful. As a support to this topic sentence, an example of an incident was given about the early Christians. Also, the main idea implies that the power of the Church was very influential in the past only, not in the present. The context clues for this is the phrase 'was a time'. This means it was applicable to the past only. Hence, another example of the present is given for contrast.
