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.

Glanz says that students like describe their describe their teachers as "drips, bores, and numerous varieties of idiots." Write
Iteru [2.4K]

in one of my health classes, the teacher was the most helpful i’ve ever had, yes, teachers are supposed to be helpful but he was the best at it. He always pushed us to be better people and to better understand the world. This teacher was bright and creative, and he always came up with new things to support us to keep going. I’ve had good teachers before but he topped all of them, and i appreciate how hard he tried to keep us focused.

not sure if that answered your question but if you want to write it differently i think you should keep the topic the same throughout and convince people reading why you believe your teacher was good/bad :)

Which statement is most likely a theme of a work of fiction? A) traditions are important and can help make our lives meaningful.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

In simple words, Fiction is typically a fictional form, in either format, made up of characters, incidents, or locations that are fictitious — in other terms, not solely based on reality or truth. In its narrowest use, literature refers to published stories in literature, most mostly primarily novels, but also plays most short storeys.

Thus, from the above we can calculate that the correct option is A.
