The desert is a harsh, inhospitable place. Only a few plants and animals can survive there, because their bodies have adapted to the desert's lack of water and dramatic changes in temperature. These plants and animals have developed ways to find water in unexpected places or to conserve water by staying out of the heat. Humans who live in the desert have technologies that help them with the heat and lack of water.

Which answer option best evaluates how well the following summary reflects the original passage?

People should avoid living in the desert whenever possible, because unlike other species, humans' bodies have not adapted to the desert's harsh conditions.

A. The summary is strong because it states a point of view that is interesting and well argued.

B. The summary is weak because it states a personal opinion rather than expressing the main point of the passage.

C. The summary is strong because it mentions the main idea and a key detail from the passage.

D. The summary is weak because its details are unclear and do not match those of the passage.​

What compound-complex sentence can be formed from the underlined section of the passage? Learning a language can be a difficult and useful hobby; I’ve tried it. Learning a language can be difficult; it is one of the most useful hobbies I’ve tried. Learning a language can be difficult, it is one of the most useful hobbies I’ve tried. Learning a language can be difficult, yet it is one of the most useful hobbies that I’ve tried.

Answers

Answer:

The compound-complex sentence that can be formed from the underlined section is:

D. Learning a language can be difficult, yet it is one of the most useful hobbies that I’ve tried.

Explanation:

This is the only option that has a compound-complex sentence.

A compound-complex sentence is formed by two independent clauses and a dependent one. Independent clauses have a subject and a predicate and are capable of expressing a complete thought on their own. On the other hand, a dependent or subordinate clause is formed by a subject and a verb and starts with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun. A subordinate clause does not express a full idea on its own.

Let's break the sentence down just to visualize it better:

1. Learning a language can be difficult - independent clause.

2. yet it is one of the most useful hobbies - independent clause. "Yet" is a coordinating conjunction.

3. that I’ve tried - dependent/subordinate clause. "That" is a relative pronoun.

D

Read the excerpt, "Social Order of Honeybees adapted from NASA
Honeybees are a fascinating species. They live in hives within a very
structured social order. Each hive contains one queen, a few hundred male
bees, and the worker bees (all female). Wild hives will contain up to 20,000
bees, while bees that live in colonies maintained by humans can contain up to
80,000. The main purpose of male bees is to mate with the queen, and her
sole purpose is to produce eggs. The queen lives two to five years, whereas
the males live only about 8 weeks. All housekeeping tasks in the hive are
performed by the female worker bees, who make up the majority of the hive.
Most worker bees live about six weeks, except for those born in the late fall.
They will live until the following spring. Worker bees have a barbed stinger
that rips out of their abdomen upon use, which kills them, so it can be used
only once. The queen's stinger is not barbed; therefore, she does not die when
she stings a rival.
Why does the author describe the role of each honeybee?

To show that they have a structured social order
To show the variety of life quality and length
To show that the queen rules over the others
To show how their bodies relate to their work

Answer:

√You would not walk away while someone was talking without saying anything → to explain how one can strengthen personal relationships.

√This habit is hurting relationships and shortening attention spans → to explain why attention to one's phone can hurt relationships.

√Without eye contact, it is nearly impossible to be fully engaged in the conversation → to provide a solution to the problem of preoccupation with cell phones.

Explanation:

I have been able to match the purpose of each statement from the text to the text statement itself.

The text statement in the 1st tile actually explains how one can strengthen personal relationships. The habit of walking away from people will strain relationships. The text statement in the 2nd tile explains that if one is obsessed with his phone without giving attention to people, it can actually hurt relationships.

APRIL 25. Even the morning air is sultry today. I would have fished for my breakfast last night before sunset, but I knew that it would surely spoil before morning. Drinking my water warm has taken some getting used to. It’s funny how we take certain things like ice for granted. If I become desperate I can always resort to eating the freeze dried rations, but that defeats my purpose for being here to begin with. Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree. I think I have almost learned to track the time by the rays of the sun. Time, like water, seems to sit in a pot unable to boil if your eye isn’t constantly on it. Time seems to be the only thing that man hasn’t learned to control; but I am sure some genius like Fred Johnson is currently working on it, while sitting in a cubicle checking the four thousand emails on his smart phone. As for me, I think I will lean back on this dune and nap a while before I head out to catch some lunch.
