When the forest canopy is removed, the moist
soil is exposed to direct sunlight. this causes it to
dry out. without the root structures to hold the
soil in place, the dried-out dirt is carried away by
wind and rain. eventually, what was once a lush
forest becomes a barren desert.
which statement best describes how the structure enhances a reader's
understanding of the passage?
a. it traces the order of events that led to gradual deforestation of the
amazon.
b. it appeals to a reader's emotions by creating an image of a lifeless
desert
c. it uses a formal tone to highlight the serious nature of cutting down
trees
d

Explanation: A. Is incorrect because it suggests that the Amazon is already deforested.

B. While it does create an image, that’s not really what the excerpt is about.

C. Is incorrect because it’s not talking about the seriousness about it. That’s left to interpretation. It’s more telling you the cause and effect.

what is the context here? we need to know what story you're talking about : )

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.
