Read the following excerpt from "the world without us" by alan weisman:
each march, temperatures normally flutter back and forth
around 32°f as many as 40 times (presumably, climate
change could push this back to february). whenever it is,
the repeated freezing and thawing make asphalt and
cement split. when snow thaws, water seeps into these
fresh cracks. when it freezes, the water expands, and
cracks widen.
which best explains how the structure of this passage supports the author's
purpose?
a. the passage compares the similarities between water and human
creativity to show how both interact to make new york city a
popular destination.
b. the passage shows the effects of frozen and liquid water to prove
that laws protecting the environment are necessary for human
survival
c. the passage shows the effects of the freezing and thawing of
water to highlight that nature will eventually destroy what people
have built
d. the passage traces several events in the order that they will occur
to highlight how people have harmed the environment

C. The passage shows the effects of the freezing and thawing of water to highlight that nature will eventually destroy what people have built. (APEX)

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
