Which detail best supports the central idea that Snowball
and Napoleon are fighting for power?
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
The other animals understood how to vote, but could never
think of any resolutions of their own. Snowball and Napoleon
were by far the most active in the debates. But it was noticed
that these two were never in agreement: whatever
suggestion either of them made, the other could be counted
on to oppose it. Even when it was resolved a thing no one
could object to in itself to set aside the small paddock
behind the orchard as a home of rest for animals who were
past work, there was a stormy debate over the correct
retiring age for each class of animal. The Meeting always
ended with the singing of "Beasts of England," and the
afternoon was given up to recreation.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

quite an interesting way to teach topic sentences, because the answer to this question is the best definition of a topic sentence that one can present, it is as if answering the questions taught you how to do it, this is some real teaching, it is terribly well-done.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.

the answer is:

in the fourth paragraph. ( the paragraph that begins with “on friday of my third ”).

hope it !

“yesterday’s the past, tomorrow is the future, and today is a gift, that’s why we call it a ”
