16. What is the main idea of this passage? ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS! What is Ayurveda?(This is the Title, not the question)
Ayurveda is an alternative health system. It began in India over five thousand years ago and is still widely used there. The word itself combines two Sanskrit words for life and knowledge, or science. It is a complete medical system and emphasizes the mind's effect on the body. Balance is a key concept. For your body to be free of disease, your mind must be in balance. Mental balance will naturally extend to the body. This balance extends to your diet. Proper diet is the basis of good health. Every ayurvedic meal includes all six tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, spicy, and sharp. Meals are designed this way to prevent cravings and ensure satisfaction. Preparing food this way requires a lot of skill. For this reason, ayurvedic chefs are very well paid.

a. Ayurveda requires well-paid chefs.
b. Ayurveda means "life science" in Sanskrit.
c. Ayurveda is an alternative health system.

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).

noo because no animal can leave it's mother land and freedom even we can't leave some days in a single room by leaving home it is wrong but needed to protect them
