Read the paragraph from The Hot Zone and the summary that follows it.
Once the cells in a biological machine stop working, it can never be started again. It goes into a cascade of decay, falling toward disorder and randomness. Except in the case of viruses. They can turn off and go dead. Then, if they come in contact with a living system, they switch on and multiply. The only thing that "lived" inside this monkey was the unknown agent, and it was dead, for the time being. It was not multiplying or doing anything, since the monkey's cells were dead. But if the agent touched living cells, Nancy's cells, it would come alive and begin to amplify itself. In theory, it could amplify itself around the world in the human species.
Summary of central idea: It is petrifying that even if viruses are dead, they have the potential to "come alive.”
Which changes should be made to improve this summary of the paragraph’s central idea? Select two options.
Remove the phrase “It is petrifying” because it expresses a personal feeling.
Include the detail that there was a dead virus living inside the monkey.
Remove the detail that viruses can come alive even if they are dead.
Add the phrase “and spread throughout the human species” to the end of the statement to more fully express the central idea.
Add a personal opinion about what may happen if the virus does “come alive.”
Answer:
In a monkey's body, the only thing that "lived" was the unknown agent, and it was dead. If the agent touched living cells, Nancy's cells, it would come alive and begin to amplify itself. In theory, it could amplify itself around the world in the human species. It is petrifying that even if viruses are dead, they have the potential to "come alive," says Dr. David Perry.
The changes that should be made to improve this summary of the paragraph's central idea are: Remove the phrase "it is petrifying" because it expresses a personal feeling, and add the phrase "and spread throughout the human species" to the end of the statement to more fully express the central ideas of the first and fourth options.
What is the central idea of the summary?The original summary of the paragraph's central idea included the phrase "It is petrifying that even if viruses are dead, they have the potential to 'come alive.'" This phrase expresses a personal feeling of fear, but it is not directly supported by the information presented in the paragraph. While the paragraph does mention the potential danger of a dead virus coming into contact with living cells and multiplying, it does not explicitly state that this is a petrifying or scary idea.
Hence, the changes that should be made to improve this summary of the paragraph's central idea are: Remove the phrase "it is petrifying" because it expresses a personal feeling, and add the phrase "and spread throughout the human species" to the end of the statement to more fully express the central ideas of the first and fourth options.

Based on paragraphs 18-20 of the article, what is one reason that Maathai's
movement was successful?
A. She recognized the frustration of people on both sides of a conflict.
B. She followed established rules despite the impatience of the public.
C. She continued to create awareness despite efforts by others to
intimidate her.
D. She addressed the concerns of others through her trust in the
democratic process.
18. Maathai and the Green Belt Movement led high-profile
campaigns to save Kenya's forests and green spaces. In 1991, for
instance, the movement saved Nairobi's Uhuru Park from an
enormous high-rise to be built by the ruling party. The dictatorship was
still strong, and not amused. For their boldness, Maathai and Green
Belt colleagues were subjected to stints in jail and harassment,
including death threats. Many nights, Maathai stayed in safe houses..
19 And yet, she was not put off. "It is as clear as day. You cannot
protect the environment if you do not have democratic governance [or]
democratic space," she says.
20 In 1992, partly as a result of Maathai's activism, Kenya legalized
opposition political parties. In subsequent years, the regime, while still
corrupt and cantankerous, showed signs of cracking. After a series of
violent confrontations with Maathai and the Green Belt Movement
over Karura Forest in 1999, the regime abandoned its illegal
development plans. The forest stands today, vast and green, on the
edge of Nairobi's throbbing streets.

While some parents are more interested in their own social relationships than in their children, other parents spend their evenings working or involved in time-consuming activities which keep them from spending those hours with their sons or daughters.

Write a paragraph about tearing(rip and breaking)
Answer:
Tearing is the act of breaking apart a material by force, without the aid of a cutting tool. A tear in a piece of paper, fabric, or some other similar object may be the result of the intentional effort with ones bare hands, or be accidental. Unlike a cut, which is generally on a straight or patterned line controlled by a tool such as scissors, a tear is generally uneven and, for the most part, unplanned. An exception is a tear along a perforated line, as found on a roll of toilet paper or paper towels, which has been previously partially cut, so the effort of tearing will most likely produce a straight line.
