Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising up or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate. 4. Which sentence in this passage introduces a new topic that might begin a new paragraph? A. Sentence 5 B. Sentence 4 C. Sentence 6 D. Sentence

Answers

the sentence in this passage which might introduce a new topic for beginning a new paragraph is that might begin a new paragraph is

A. Sentence 5.  Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur.

The author can start a new topic talking about earthquakes.

You accidentally chopped off the end of answer choice D, but I'm assuming it said Sentence 7

Therefore, I would say that D is the correct answer.

Sentences 4, 5, and 6 (choices A, B, and C) all flow well with the previous sentences in the paragraph - sentence 4 continue's the talk about magma, and sentences 5 and 6 begin with continuations on a topic along the same lines - while sentence 7 introduces a new topic, plates colliding, without any transition word at the beginning. In addition, if we read the sentences in our head, sentence 7 sounds the most like an introductory sentence of a paragraph.

For all of these reasons, we can infer that sentence 7, choice D (hopefully), would be the best sentence for the beginning of a new paragraph.

Read this excerpt from Thomas Paine's famous essay "The Crisis Number One":I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

Which sentence best describes Paine's claim in the excerpt?

1 God would not take sides between the British and the American colonists.

2 It was necessary to save Americans because God did not support military destruction.

3 It was necessary for America to fight the British to defend their religious values.

4 God would defend the American colonists' fight because their cause was upright.

5 It was necessary for Americans to save themselves and not wait for God to help them

Answers

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "2 It was necessary to save Americans because God did not support military destruction." This the sentence that best describes Paine's claim in the excerpt.
