Paragraphs are the building blocks of papers. Many students define paragraphs in terms of length: a paragraph is a group of at least five sentences, a paragraph is half a page long, etc. In reality, though, the unity and coherence of ideas among sentences is what constitutes a paragraph. A paragraph is defined as “a group of sentences or a single sentence that forms a unit” (Lunsford and Connors 116). Length and appearance do not determine whether a section in a paper is a paragraph. For instance, in some styles of writing, particularly journalistic styles, a paragraph can be just one sentence long. Ultimately, a paragraph is a sentence or group of sentences that support one main idea. In this handout, we will refer to this as the “controlling idea,” because it controls what happens in the rest of the paragraph.

Read the excerpt from Catching Sun Rays.
But there is another benefit: switching to renewable energy can create jobs. One environmental group says solar power could mean hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States. For example, the largest solar farm on the East Coast in New York created more than 200 local construction jobs. And the farm makes enough electricity each year to power 4,500 homes!
Why does the evidence provided in the excerpt make the author's argument more effective?

Answer: It is specific because it talks specificly about how renewable energy benefits the economy, creates jobs, and most of all to save energy. The answer to the question is it is specific. Hope this helps you!
The correct response is - It is specific because it discusses in detail how renewable energy boosts the economy, creates jobs, and, most importantly, reduces energy use. The question has a specific response.
What is renewable energy?The energy that is derived from resources can be regenerated naturally over time and are therefore considered to be renewable. It includes energy sources like sunlight, wind, water currents, and geothermal heat. Despite the fact that the majority of renewable energy sources are sustainable, some are not.
Anything that is regenerable has an unlimited supply or may be replaced. Renewable energy sources never run out. Things that are renewable are always fresh and new because the word "re" implies "again" and the supply can never run out. This phrase frequently refers to energy.

Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:
In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.
Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.
Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.
Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.
Which sentence best represents the main idea of paragraph three, the second body paragraph?
A) Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars.
B) It is about action and contributing to the common good.
C) Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community.
D) The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat.
Answer:
i think its a, and i couldn't understand much when he said "your first option" so i went back to the question and it didn't pick a question to start with so i was confused and realized what he ment im making this so others wont get confused and the answer is indeed A. Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars.
Explanation: i hope this helps people not to get confused, also have a great day
Read the excerpt from the introduction for "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.
Invention is predominantly individualistic. Everything... comes from the lone worker who follows the fleeting inspiration of a moment and finally does something that has not been done before.
This quote is from the inventor of a three-phase motor, Nikola Tesla. It fits the description in every respect of Dean Kamen, the owner of more than one hundred patents.
As a young teenager in Rockville Center, New York, one of four children, whose father was a comic book artist and his mother a schoolteacher, Dean started tinkering with sound and light boxes in his bedroom, "which caused lights to go off and on, and deafening sound to come from his radio," said his mother.
Their indulgent parents allowed Dean and his older brother Barton to experiment, raising as many as one hundred live rats and to set up a workshop in their basement on Long Island. Dean stocked the basement laboratory with machinery to help create new audio/visual equipment. This led to his first patent and a sizable financial reward while still in high school.
Which line best supports the writer’s opinion that Kamen has done things that have never been done before?
