Read the following paragraph. Then select the author's purpose in writing the paragraph. Christopher Columbus was a famous explorer who discovered the New World while searching for a western route to the Indies. Although all other merchants had traveled eastward to the Indies, Columbus was convinced he could reach the Indies by traveling west. He begged the king and queen to give him money, equipment, and supplies for his journey. Although Christopher Columbus did not find what he was looking for, on October 12, 1492, he and his men discovered the New World. The world owes a great debt to the courageous explorations of Christopher Columbus.

Eventually, the entire Hayter family, except the oldest son, settled in America. Which statement best identifies the text structure of this excerpt?

Answers

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

Which statement best identifies the text structure of this excerpt?

This excerpt mainly reflects a cause-and-effect text structure.

This excerpt mainly reflects a compare-and-contrast text structure.

This excerpt mainly reflects a sequence text structure.

This excerpt reflects a combination of text structures.

Answer:

The statement which best identifies the text structure of the excerpt is:

This excerpt mainly reflects a sequence text structure.

Explanation:

Sequence or order text structure is used by authors to present events in chronological order. Words such as "then", "later", "next", or "eventually", for instance, are commonly found in this type of structure. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the author presents a sequence of events concerning the arrival of the Hayter family members in America. Notice how the phrases and words "in a matter of months" and "eventually" help establish the sequence in time:

1. Someone arrive in America;

2. He sends for his siblings;

3. The entire family settles in America.

Answers

Answer:

Dr. Jekyll's research and experiment was morally questionable from the start.

Explanation:

Dr. Jekyll's research and experiment included creating a type of medicine that allowed him to separate the good from the bad and the dark. This is because this medicine allowed him to transform himself into a good citizen and into another citizen who only had malice in his personality and lived totally unscrupulous.

The problem with this experiment is that the doctor allowed a totally evil and unkindly circulation to circulate around the world, and he could do abominable things. This is morally questionable, even before that individual killed.

Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.
'Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.'
Which of the following statements best describes this paragraph?
A.) The paragraph describes the purpose of laws in a community but lacks the use of any text connections.
B.) The paragraph describes a simple comparison between a family protest and a community protest.
