Use the paragraph to answer the question.
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 bears 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.
Which sentence describes the main idea?
(1 point)
The platypus is a mammal with many characteristics that make it unique.
The platypus lives in Australia.
The platypus uses an interesting method to consume its meals.
The platypus has features similar to an otter and a beaver.
3.Which is the best summary of the following text?
It happens way too often: oil leaking from wells beneath the ocean or tankers spilling their cargo into the waves. One disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, called the Tyler spill, has been leaking hundreds of barrels of oil per day into the ocean for the past 14 years. That safety should be a higher priority is a no-brainer. But something can be done to clean up oil spills—something that doesn’t involve pouring chemical cleanup agents into our already fouled waters. And yet the oil industry has not embraced this smart, safe method.
(1 point)
The oil industry needs to work more efficiently.
The oil industry should promptly handle oil spills with a chemical clean-up process.
Oil spills occur too frequently.
Oil spills are an ongoing problem that can be improved in a smart and safe manner.

12. Mother nature is so smart that she knows how to constantly rebuilt and regenerate itself. To the human eyes, a fire hurts so much. We think that fires destroy nature. But as in the case of fires or heavy rains, the purpose is to clean what must be cleaned. SUPPORTING DETAIL:"Fire also may kill predatory insects or pests that live on and damage otherwise healthy trees."
13. Both fires are natural. They are caused by multiple different things including, high heat levels, heat waves, etc. The healthy trees would be affected but not as much as “dead” trees.
14. I GAVE 3 DIFFERENT ANSWERS SO CHOOSE 1! FIRST ONE: Even though my aunt is wealthy, she is miserly and refuses to help me pay for college. SECOND ONE: A man who tricks people into giving him money. The more and more he does this the more and more his appearance changes during the lies he tells. THIRD ONE: He chooses to do people wrong to extend his life span.
15. In order for words to give off a negative tone, there has to be some way the author is communicating with us. is this supposed to be negative? what is it talking about?
like "the wooden structure rots" "the chain swing rust" "garbage covers the ground" "concerned citizens" "public junkyard"
all of that goes against and sounds horrible for a place for children to play happily and safely
Hopefully I helped you!

It happens way too often: oil leaking from wells beneath the ocean or tankers spilling their cargo into the waves. One disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, called the Tyler spill, has been leaking hundreds of barrels of oil per day into the ocean for the past 14 years. While safety has not been made a priority, something can be done to clean up oil spills that does not involve pouring chemical cleanup agents into the already polluted waters. The question is, when will the oil industry embrace this effective, safe method?
Which sentence best summarizes the text?
There is a smart solution to the ongoing problem of oil spills the industry should use.
There is no reason that oil spills occur as often as they do.
The oil industry should focus on the fastest way to clean up oil spills.*

All around the world, millions of people watch hundreds of new movies each year. Most people are aware that these movies have actors and actresses, directors, stunt doubles, and camera operators.

You may not think earthquakes and volcanoes can go together, but they are unlikely friends, creating sensations under the earth’s surface. Most earthquakes occur because of the movement of tectonic plates previously described. Sometimes earthquakes happen below a volcano. This happens because magma, which is hot molten rock beneath the earth’s surface, pushes on rock until it breaks the rock and seeps into it. Then, the magma builds more pressure until it leaks more magma into the crack. Little earthquakes happen each time the rock breaks and lets in more magma. These little earthquakes are too small to feel. They are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one long song played underground
What does the analogy "they are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one long song played underground" from the paragraph mean?
Much like background music, little earthquakes tremor underground without much notice. *
The tremors from small earthquakes follow unpredictable patterns, unlike musical meter.
when little earthquakes occur, they make sounds similar to music.
The same amount of energy is released by music and small earthquakes.
Why would a student include an allusion to Albert Einstein, an accomplished scientist with a famously bad memory, in a paper about how people learn?
to show that memorization is important to everyone
to show how remembering something is not as important as understanding it**
to show that memorization is important when learning something new
to show how famous people are remembered

The crowd gathered around a chain-link fence and waited for the show to begin. The artist approached the large tree stump and powered up his chainsaw with a loud roar. Everyone was startled even though they knew the sound was coming. Swinging the saw in rhythmic motions and lunging forward to make quick stabs at the wood, the artist began to create an image. The people in the crowd turned their heads and squinted their eyes, trying to make out what shape the sculpture would take. Time passed quickly and the buzz of the saw dominated the scene for most of the afternoon. Then, just as the evening light softened the forest, the artist set down his saw and touched the face of the giant grizzly bear with his bare hand.
Which piece of evidence from the paragraph supports the inference that the artist is inspired by nature?
.
He likes to be hands-on with his work..
His work requires physical strength.
He carves animals out of wood.
He performs in front of a crowd.**
What is the most likely purpose for writing an explanatory article in third-person point of view that includes many facts and details about a topic?

Ocean pollution is caused by the introduction of toxic materials and harmful pollutants such as agricultural and industrial waste, chemicals, oil spills, and plastic litter into the ocean waters

*
Some long term effects of ocean pollution include: Marine animals harmed: Pollution such as oil spills and debris can cause irreversible damage to marine life. Depletion of oxygen in seawater: Excess debris is entering the ocean. To degrade trash, oxygen is consumed. As a result, there are lower oxygen levels in the sea.Some long term effects of ocean pollution include: Marine animals harmed: Pollution such as oil spills and debris can cause irreversible damage to marine life.
