Read the following paragraphs: When our air conditioner broke in the middle of a hot summer, we had to fall back on some old-fas

hioned tricks to keep cool. At night, we opened all the doors and windows and set up fans to pull the colder night air into the house. When the sun came up, we pulled down the window shades to block the heat. As it got warm in the house, we put a tub of ice water in front of each fan to blow a chilled breeze through the darkened rooms. The key idea in this essay is staying comfortable without air conditioning. Which words or phrases below are used as pattern transitions to connect the paragraphs to that idea?
a.house
b.window

Answer:

D: Cold, colder, chilled

Explanation:

None of the other answers are transitions and none of them are used as much as cool, colder, and chilled, which describes how their methods of staying cool worked.

Please help me choose<br><br>Which three excerpts would best be characterized as expository texts?
Naddika [18.5K]

Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.

So the last one is out.


The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.


I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.


I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.


Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.


Answers 1,23. I could be wrong, so if you have a different answer in mind, go with it.
