Got Brush? Use Goats!
Are you dreading the unenviable task of clearing brush from your land?
If so, I have the perfect solution-a herd of lovable goats! These
delightful animals are the indisputable answer to removing overgrown
vegetation from pastures, parks, and hillsides. They can move around in
areas inhospitable to humans and machines, and since their method of
clearing land is to eat everything in sight, the hassle of hauling away
truckloads of debris is of no concern.
The funny thing about goats is that many of the plants they consider
delicious are the same plants that exasperate farmers, communities,
and homeowners. They eat plants such as kudzu and poison ivy, which
spread quickly and make it difficult for other types of vegetation to
survive. While many people are allergic to poison ivy, which is why they
avoid clearing it, goats are not bothered by it in the least. Not only do
they chomp down on toxic plants, but they enjoy plants with thorns,
such as blackberry brambles. Goats can't get enough of them! All things
considered, if you are staring down a tangle of unwieldy brush, hiring a
herd of goats to do the work for you is your best bet!

The excerpt is from a longer essay on huckleberry finn by mark twain. what kind of support is used to develop the writer's main idea regarding how twain brought his characters to life?

Excerpt from 100% - the story of a patriot upton sinclair 10 so peter walked along, with his belt drawn tight, and his restless blue eyes wandering here and there, looking for a place to get a meal. there were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and peter wanted an easy one. there are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale. 11 peter looked into the faces of everyone he passed, searching for a possible opening. some returned his glance, but never for more than a second, for they saw an insignificant looking man, undersized, undernourished, and with one shoulder higher than the other, a weak chin and mouth, crooked teeth, and a brown moustache too feeble to hold itself up at the corners. peters' straw hat had many straws missing, his second-hand brown suit was become third-hand, and his shoes were turning over at the sides. in a city where everybody was "hustling," everybody, as they phrased it, "on the make," why should anyone take a second glance at peter gudge? why should anyone care about the restless soul hidden inside him, or dream that peter was, in his own obscure way, a sort of genius? no one did care; no one did dream. 12 it was about two o'clock of an afternoon in july, and the sun beat down upon the streets of american city. there were crowds upon the streets, and peter noticed that everywhere were flags and bunting. once or twice he heard the strains of distant music, and wondered what was "up." peter had not been reading the newspapers; all his attention bad been taken up by the quarrels of the smithers faction and the lunk faction in the first apostolic church, otherwise known as the holy rollers, and great events that had been happening in the world outside were of no concern to him. peter knew vaguely that on the other side of the world half a dozen mighty nations were locked together in a grip of death; the whole earth was shaken with their struggles, and peter had felt a bit of the trembling now and then. but peter did not know that his own country had anything to do with this european quarrel, and did not know that certain great interests throughout the country had set themselves to rouse the public to action. based on the author's characterization of peter in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12, which word best describes him? a) industrious b) loyal c) patriotic d) poor
