Answer:
B. Confusion is more important to intellectual growth than it is to understanding your identity.
Explanation:
Confusion is a state in which human brain could not chronologically reconcile an information or expression. It is a required stage of learning because it motivates or builds the mind to decipher the appropriate way to solve a problem. Though it may lead to frustration sometimes, but it enables the development of a capacity for deeper level of understanding.
From 'The value of being confused', the central idea or theme is that confusion deals with the development of our intellect (knowledge and understanding), more than personal identity.
B sounds the best and most fluent
b. The research focus may change as the reader begin to delve into the topic.
Answer:
I think the answer is B. (Sonar systems allow animals to "see" using their ears.)
Explanation:
By process of elimination:
A. is incorrect because this statement is only indicated in lines 4 to 7. It is no way the central point of the paragraph.
C. is incorrect because; while the passage mentions that bats are nocturnal, It gives no indication as to whether it (the bat) is also small. Nevertheless, the passage also talks about whales which are the literal opposite of small.
D. is a very tricky option because it is actually implied in the paragraph. Personally, I think D is also a correct answer but my first choice is still B. because of the final statement on human application of sonar systems.
Here are some of the ways the families are significant, I'm not sure how far you are in the story yet tho. I read this book last year, so I can't remember which parts these are from
1) The way they have 2 children to a family, one male and one female
2) Raising children were rules in the community
3) The parents aren't the real birth givers of the children, you had to apply for kids
4) Very controlled family with special practices
Hope this helps! (I believe it's all before chapter 10)
