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:

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.

3. Joshua is a snake and I don't want to see him again. - metaphor
4. The detective was the bloodhound who traced the thief. - metaphor

Explanation:
Simile and metaphor are figures of speech that compare things. The first one expresses such comparison by using words such as "like" or "as". For example: My best friend is like an owl. He never sleeps. Metaphor, on the other hand, does not use such words. It simply states that thing A is thing B: My friend is owl. He never sleeps.
Personification is a figure of speech in which an author gives living qualities to non-living things. For example: The grass danced as the rain poured. - Grass is not human and cannot dance. It is personified.

Explanation:
The vapour pressure of pure benzene at a certain temperature is 0.850 bar. A non volatile, non electrolyte solid weighing 0.5 g is added to 39.0g of benzene. The vapour pressure of the solution then is 0.845 bar. What is the molecular mass of the solid substance
Answer:
The molar mass is 169g / mol.
Explanation:
To achieve this result you must consider the formula:
[(pº-p) / pº] = [na / (na + nb)]
This formula should be replaced by the values shown in the question as follows:
pº = 0.850 bar
p = 0.845 bar
To find the values of "na" and "nb", we will consider that the letter "m" represents the molecular mass of benzene that is equal to 78, so we have:
na = 0.5 / m; nb = 39/78 = 0.5
Now we can replace all values in the formula:
0.850-0.845 / 0.850 = (0.5 / m) / (0.5 / m) +0.5 =
0.5 / (0.5 = 0.5m) =
1/1 + m =
m = 0.850 / 0.005 - 1 = 169g / mol

Which two purposes for a nonfiction text are best suited for figurative language?
Answer:
Establish a concept and emphasize a particular idea.
Explanation:
A nonfiction text is one that presents facts in a precise or subjective way, but its main objective is to establish concepts, emphasize ideas, expose situations, clarify proposals, create a visual, among others.
As the nonfiction text is committed to passing on a reality, many people may believe that the use of figurative language should not be used in this type of text. However, figurative language can be very efficient, when the author of a nonfiction text uses it to establish a concept and emphasize a specific idea. This is because figurative language can create comparisons and expressions that facilitate reading and understanding, in these two aspects.

Often they add another two masts, which are hoisted and lowered at pleasure. The entire hull is of double thickness: that is to say, one plank is fastened over the top of another, and this double planking extends all the way round. It is caulked outside and in, and the fastening is done with iron nails.

The Pentagon Papers printed in the New York Times did what?
O Showed that the government was trustworthy
O Fueled antiwar sentiments
O Pressured Nixon to withdraw troops from Korea
O Both b and c
Answer: Fueled antiwar sentiments
Explanation:
The confidential Pentagon Papers were published from June 13, 1971 by the New York Times. In it were various concealed facts about the United State's involvement in South East Asia over the administrations of 4 Presidents being Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson.
It was shown that these Presidents engaged in actions that were not revealed to the public in a bid to combat communism in South East Asia such as, the provision of Aid to France as they fought against H Chi Minh's forces, the bombing of North Vietnam, and the war in Vietnam escalating to open warfare a year before the US public thought they had been.
After a Supreme Court decision allowed the publications to continue and the public saw what their presidents had been up to, the antiwar sentiments that had been increasing over the years were fueled so much more and contributed to the end of US involvement by 1973.
Identify any formal fallacies or fallacies of language in the following passage.
Mark: Jessica got low grades in this semester due to the recent demise of her father. Judy: Oh, so now you're trying to excuse her low grades
Answer:
Straw man fallacy
Explanation:
The Straw man fallacy refers to an individual's ability to ignore his opponent's argument in a debate, distort that argument and distort what the opponent was actually referring to. This is done in an attempt to undermine rational speech and to present an argument of opposition in an easier and more reasonable way.
An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Judy distorted Mark's argument and gave a totally different meaning than Mark wanted to express.
