Which sentence describes the main idea of this passage? every so often, i consider simplifying my life and getting rid of my landline phone so that i just have a cell phone. it just seems silly to have two phones, yet something always stops me. some little voice in my head reminds me that a landline and a cell phone have very different advantages. for example, cell phones may be fully portable, but i still haven't found one that's comfortable to talk on for long periods of time. also, cell phone reception can cut in and out or even be lost completely. my landline is a solid, quality phone that gets excellent reception. also, landlines do not need to be charged every day. friends warn me that landlines are for dinosaurs, but i don't care. landlines have become outdated because of cell phones. cell phones are the future of wireless communication. landlines and cell phones both have advantages and disadvantages. technology keeps on changing over time, and people need to change with it.

For me, the sentence that describes the main idea of this passage is the third one: Landlines and cell phones both have advantages and disadvantages.

Explanation:

I think that all the other options are true as well, but what the speaker is trying to explain in this excerpt is that both -landlines and cell phones- have pros and cons and that is the reason why he/she can't get rid of the landlines in order to simplify his/her life, as he/she says in the first sentence. The main message in this excerpt is the confusion of the speaker when trying to decide whether to get rid of the landline or not, he/she never gets to finally do it because he/she thinks that having a landline is helpful in many occasions.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.

Javier is writing a literary analysis of the secret garden. read this introduction to his essay. frances burnett’s “the secret garden” explores the challenges of a sickly, self-centered little girl named mary lennox. after mary’s parents die of cholera, she moves from india to england to live at her uncle’s estate in yorkshire. while living at the old estate, mary discovers an abandoned garden that belonged to her deceased aunt. tending to the neglected garden brings mary joy, and her health improves. through mary’s transformation, burnett presents nature as a symbol of rebirth and healing. which piece of textual evidence should javier use to support the claim made in the introduction? a. “‘it’s in the garden no one can go into,’ she said to herself. ‘it’s the garden without a door. he lives in there. how i wish i could see what it is like! ’” b. “in india she had always felt hot and too languid to care much about anything. the fact was that the fresh wind from the moor had begun to blow the cobwebs out of her young brain and to waken her up a little.” c. “mary felt lonelier than ever when she knew she was no longer in the house. she went out into the garden as quickly as possible, and the first thing she did was to run round and round the fountain flower garden ten times.” d. “‘it isn’t a quite dead garden,’ she cried out softly to herself. ‘even if the roses are dead, there are other things alive.’”
