B. Write out the implied main idea of the following paragraph. 3. If you have trouble getting a good night's sleep, don't have an alcoholic drink
before bedtime. While alcohol can certainly knock you out, it also damages
the quality of sleep you'll get. That's because it chemically interferes with
dreaming, an important part of restful sleep. "Also, avoid beverages and foods
that contain caffeine, such as coffee, most teas, colas, and chocolate. "Caffeine
can stimulate you, making sleep difficult or impossible. A better before-bed
choice is milk, which contains a mild, sleep-inducing type of protein.'Another
piece of good advice is to exercise during the day; this can leave you tuckered
out enough at night to fall promptly and soundly asleep. But do avoid exercise
right before bedtime, as its immediate effects are more stimulating than
relaxing. 'Last, try to get up at about the same time every day; this practice will
help your body establish a solid sleep and wake cycle. 10Varying your hours too
much can confuse your body's "inner clock."
Implied main idea:

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader

you can't answer this. more information is needed.
