Hi everyone, Me and my sisters dad made a bet. The bet is about if I can talk my mom ( Who is not a dog person ) into letting him get me my dream dog aka a Golden Retriever. Btw I forgot to mention hes getting it for me if I do talk her into it for my birthday, which is in 2 weeks and 4 days so I only have that much longer TO talk her into it. So far I have written 6 paragraphs to her on how I would take care of it, 3 paragraphs on why its a good dog and another 3 paragraphs on why I should get it. When it was morning yesterday I asked her " On a scale 0 - 10 whats my chance on getting it? " She said " 0 " then in the middle of the day I asked again..she said " 1/10 " so last night I asked her one more time and she said " 1 and a half/10 " So I am making progress. Does anyone else know of any ideas on how I can talk her into it? Btw I'm gonna name it Bentley and it will be a boy if I do get it, it will also be a puppie when I 1st get it!

Which of the following story descriptions most directly shares themes with the passage above

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
