Which idea from the paragraph below is important to include in a summary?
The platypus is an Australian mammal that does not fall neatly into a classification. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bear young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills.The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.
A) The platypus is a fascinating animal.
B) The platypus paddles through water.
C) The platypus uses its duck-like bill to scoop up gravel when it is underwater.
D) The platypus is a rare type of mammal that bears its young by laying eggs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D) The platypus is a rare type of mammal that bears its young by laying eggs.
Explanation:
If we read this text we can see that it has too much information about the platypus. But without a doubt, the most important and most striking information is the fact that platypus are one of the two mammals that give birth by laying eggs.
It is something uncommon in the animal world, as we can see only two species can do it.
This leads us to the conclusion that the correct answer is option D.
The first people who answered is correct The platypus is a rare type of mammal that bears its young by laying eggs.

Witch event from act II and III demonstrates the recurring motif of "Fair is foul, and fouls is fair"
Answer:
Macbeth who acts like he is a true supporter of King Duncan but shows his treachery when he murders the king to take his place.
Explanation:
From the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, the recurring motif “Fair is foul, and foul is fair” as said by the witches at the beginning of the play means that people are not all they appear to be because someone who appears to be "fair" could actually be evil and "foul" just as Macbeth himself showed.

Answer:
Answer:When you think about The Odyssey, one name comes to mind, and that name is Odysseus. He’s the obvious hero of this story. However, his wife Penelope is just as much a hero as he is. She is a hero because she waited for her husband’s return and she took care of the house while he was away. Although Penelope’s whole hero journey is not told to the audience, you can see the similarities about their journeys by what is said. These two characters are very clever. Determination and persistence are two qualities that Odysseus and Penelope share. All Odysseus wants is to return home to his kingdom, wife, and son. All Penelope wants is for her husband to return home and their family to be reunited. They are both strong-willed leaders and loyal to those they care about and those who work for them. They are generous in their daily actions.
Penelope is very clever and plans long term just like Odysseus did. Odysseus is clever when he meets the Cyclops and tells him his name is Nobody. Once he and his men stab him in his eye, Polyphemus starts screaming “Nobody’s killing me now by fraud and not by force!” .Polyphemus was once told of a prophecy that a man named Odysseus would kill him. By telling the Cyclops that his name was Nobody, this long term plan kept Odysseus and his crew alive a few days longer. Penelope is clever too when she comes up with the shroud plan. Her husband has been gone for over twenty years and the people of Ithaca want a new king. Penelope is slowly starting to give up hope that her husband will return one day. While they’re suitors in her palace trying to win over her heart, she tells them she cannot marry until she has weaved a shroud in Odysseus’s honor. What the suitors don’t realize is that she undoes all of the progress she’s made for that day, so that the shroud will never be finished and she won’t have to remarry any of these men. This long term plan is buying herself time.
When Odysseus returns as the beggar and Penelope figures it out she comes up with a cunning plan. She tells the suitors that whoever can string Odysseus’s bow and shoot it through twelve arrows will win her heart. The audience is shown how clever she truly is. Her perceptiveness has helped her to figure out that Odysseus is the beggar. She knows that if he can string the bow he can win her back and have a fair shot at fighting the suitors.
Odysseus and Penelope are both strong-minded leaders and very loyal. Penelope has the opportunity to remarry but chooses to believe that one day her husband will return, even though it’s been twenty years. She chooses to remain loyal. She shows her headstrong personality by taking care of the house while her husband is away. She also raises her son as a single mother and simultaneously takes care of her kingdom. She has disloyal servants and yet she still remains loyal to them. This mirrors Odysseus’s loyalty when he personally goes after his crew to save them from becoming addicted to the island's locus.
Another heroic trait that Penelope has is her generosity. When Odysseus was disguised as the beggar, Penelope took a special interest in him. You can only imagine how many beggars came to her home daily. She was always generous to them by feeding them, but after they were finished they’d leave. Odysseus, however, received special treatment. She has a meeting with him. She tells her maid, Eurycleia, “…wash the stranger and make his bed, with bedding, blankets and lustrous spreads to keep him warm…”. Her generosity shows her kind-hearted spirit.
Penelope has endured a lot of hardship just like her husband has. Both of these characters heroic journeys had many similarities. They were leaders and they were loyal. They were clever in their strategic planning. She is a woman but she is a strong leader and a ruler. She is strong-willed but shows her soft side. This is what makes Penelope such a good hero.

SOME PLZZZ HELP URGENT :( What is the best way to edit this sentence? In the early part of the month of April, we traveled in our own car to the city of New Orleans in the state of Louisiana. A. We drove to New Orleans in early April. B. In the early part of April, we drove to New Orleans in Louisiana. C. In the early part of April, we traveled by car to the city of New Orleans. D. We traveled in our own car to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, in early April.
Answer:
A. We drove to New Orleans in early April.
Explanation:
The context of "in our own car" and "in the state of Louisiana" isn't necessary for the readers. It just becomes excessive words that hinder the reader from a smooth read.
Answer:
A. We drove to New Orleans in early April.
Explanation:
Because New Orleans is such a big city, it isn't necessary to say it is in Louisiana since that will make the sentence more complicated/long.
It is also better to say "early April" rather than longer and more repetitive phrases like "the early part of April."
Lastly, it is best to say "we drove" instead of saying "we traveled in our own car" because they mean the same thing, but "we drove" flows better and is shorter.
So, A is correct because it has the best flow with the most simple phrases.
Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. "I Like to See It Lap the Miles" by Emily Dickinson I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties by the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop—docile and omnipotent— At its own stable door. This poem describes a train as if it were a horse. Examine the imagery of the line in bold. What does it describe? A.) A train stopping to let get fuel and passengers B.) A train showing up late to its home station C.) A train breaking down in the middle of the track D.) A train stopping to let passengers enjoy the view
Answer:
A.) A train stopping to let get fuel and passengers
Explanation:
From the poem given below, I Like To See It Lap The Miles by Emily Dickinson, a train is described as a horse and it is narrated by the poet how he wants to see the train "lap the miles" and move down the valley before stopping to "feed itself at tanks" which means that the train stopped to get fuel and then move through the mountains, before stopping by the sides of the roads to "fit its sides" which can be interpreted to mean getting passengers.
in this excerpt provides information about the roaman empire which sentence in this excerpt speaks about the purpose of the text
Answer:
A. (It is the design of this, and of the two succeeding chapters, to describe the prosperous condition of their empire; and after wards, from the death of Marcus Antoninus, to deduce the most important circumstances of its decline and fall; a revolution which will ever be remembered, and is still felt by the nations of the earth.)
Explanation:
Edward Gibbon's "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is a historical work that traces the civilization of the Western empire right from the Roman empire to the decline of the Byzantine empire. This book provides ancient Roman history and gives an insight into the empire through a careful and vast field of study.
As seen in the excerpt given, the main purpose of the text can be seen in the first option. This passage talks about how this chapter, as well as "the two succeeding chapters, [will] describe the prosperous condition of their empire" and also includes the deaths of Marcus Antonius and "deduce the most important circumstances of its decline and fall." It will also include the "revolution which will ever be remembered, and is still felt by the nations of the earth."
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life? "But if that is so," he said to himself, "and I am leaving this life with the consciousness that I have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then?" He lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. In the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. In them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. This consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. He groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. And he hated them on that account. He was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. He drove everybody away and tossed from side to side. His wife came to him and said: "Jean, my dear, do this for me. It can't do any harm and often helps. Healthy people often do it." He opened his eyes wide. "What? Take communion? Why? It's unnecessary! However..." She began to cry. "Yes, do, my dear. I'll send for our priest. He is such a nice man." "All right. Very well," he muttered. When the priest came and heard his confession, Ivan Ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. He again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. He received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.
Answer:
"He lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way."
Explanation:
This shows him contemplating his past life by thinking through all of the things that got him to this moment. He pondered as he lay there, showing the human tendency of contemplating over your past life. hope this helps you :)

Which lines in this excerpt from Guy de Maupassant's short story "Boule de Suif" suggest that the resistance activities of the civilians were more courageous than those of the armed soldiers?
Even the town itself resumed by degrees its ordinary aspect. The French seldom walked abroad, but the streets swarmed with Prussian soldiers. Moreover, the officers of the Blue Hussars, who arrogantly dragged their instruments of death along the pavements, seemed to hold the simple townsmen in but little more contempt than did the French cavalry officers who had drunk at the same cafes the year before. . . .
<1"The conquerors exacted money, much money."> The inhabitants paid what was asked; they were rich. But, the wealthier a Norman tradesman becomes, the more he suffers at having to part with anything that belongs to him, at having to see any portion of his substance pass into the hands of another.
<2"Nevertheless, within six or seven miles of the town, along the course of the river as it flows onward to Croisset, Dieppedalle and Biessart, boat-men and fishermen often hauled to the surface of the water the body of a German, bloated in his uniform, killed by a blow from knife or club, his head crushed by a stone, or perchance pushed from some bridge into the stream below.">
<3"The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance."> For hatred of the foreigner ever arms a few intrepid souls, ready to die for an idea.
Answer:
"The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance."
Explanation:
The lines from the excerpt that suggests resistance from the civilians which were more courageous than those of the armed soldiers are the lines in option C.
From the excerpt, the soldiers were moving about , carrying their weapons on the street which made the civilians displeased, and finally in the third option, the soldiers were attacked violently by the civilians to show their displeasure against the current system.

Answer:
The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance.
