The correct answer is letter A. You're generating words that suggest possible sentence or paragraphs. Clustering itself is a type of prewriting where you allow yourself to explore many ideas. It is like brainstorming or free associating. It gives you a start without clear ideas.

Read the following passage about sea turtles. In this activity, you will identify TWO examples of each of the different kinds of sentences that we are learning about. In the Free Response box, please write the heading "SIMPLE" and then cut and paste two simple sentences from the article under this heading. Next, write the heading "COMPOUND" and then cut and paste two compound sentences from the article under this heading. Lastly, write the heading "COMPLEX" and then cut and paste two complex sentences from the article under this heading. HERE'S THE ARTICLE TO USE FOR THIS ACTIVITY: The story "About Sea Turtles" that we read in class contains interesting information about sea turtles. They are mysterious animals. They spend most of their lives at sea, but they do come to shore for one purpose - to lay eggs. A mother sea turtle's hind flippers are like a steam shovel, digging through layers and layers of sand. She digs a nest and lays hundreds of eggs. Why lay so many eggs? Baby sea turtle eggs, once they are buried, are on their own. When the time is right, on a moonlit night, the baby turtles dig their way out of the nest and scurry to the sea to begin life in the ocean. But they have to beware! Many other animals are predators of baby sea turtles. Little is known about the life of these fascinating animals once they reach the sea, but scientists are getting more information every day!

Why do you think the preamble from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is considered a seminal document

Answers

The preamble from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is considered a seminal document because it is both the introduction to the Declaration of Human Rights and it sets out the ideas and values for the rest of the document. 
Before we continue, we need to make sure we understand the meaning of a preamble and a seminal document. A preamble is a preliminary or introductory statement, and a seminal document is a document that has strong ideas and is influential on the latter part of the document. 

The preamble from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is considered a seminal document because it is very influential. A seminal document is usually defined as a document that greatly impacts and develops the thoughts and ideas of others. It's themes and ideas are often considered the building blocks for bigger and better things. The preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights demands that all people are given the same basic rights. That all people have the right to and are guaranteed certain protections and allowances because everyone deserves a chance to live free and equal without fear.
