There was a time when the Church was very powerful ... In those days the Church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the i

deas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being "disturbers of the peace" and "outside agitators." Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the arch-supporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the Church's silent and often vocal sanction (approved action) of things as they are.

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.

One way that the novel differs from earlier literary works is that _____. novelists often leave out many details associated with
xenn [34]

One way that the novel differs from earlier literary works is that readers are often able to relate better to the characters in novels.

A novel is a long work of narrative fiction, usually written in prose form. It is considered that all of the genre has " a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years"  origined in classical Greece and Rome, in medieval and early modern romance, and in the tradition of the Italian renaissance novella. Novel readers  are more susceptible, to get along with the characters, relating their personal experiences with the characters in question, something that in ancient literature was not very common.

Identify the verb form in the following sentence. Jeremy will be planting tulips in the spring. A. future perfect progressive B.
lyudmila [28]
Hey there Carlos!

Let's examine this above.

<span>Jeremy will be planting tulips in the spring.

let's take some key point's from this.

</span><span>Jeremy (will) be (planting) tulips in the spring.

The word's "will" and also "planting" are a form of the future tense.

So, in this case, we can cross out both option (c) and also (d).

Option (c) and also (d) are (present), and the sentence is not present, it would be in the future.

So, now we have both option (a) and also (b) as our last options.

This would be considered a "future perfect progressive" because the sentence shows that "he will plant tulips", which shows that this would be a future perfect goal pretty much.

Hope this helps you Carlos, and if you need any more help, never hesitate to ask more question's on Brainly
