Review the scenario. mauricio is writing an essay that compares and contrasts bikes and skateboards. which best identifies information that is extraneous in his essay?
a. tricks can be performed on both.
b. both are used for transportation.
c. one has four wheels; the other has two.
d. a lot of famous people ride bikes.

Your answer is

D.) A lot of famous people ride bikes

because of the definiton of extraneous, which is

[irrelavent or unrelated to the subject being dealt with]

A.) is relavent to the essay, because it is dealing with both bikes AND skateboards, and it is COMPARING the two

B.) is relavent, because kids and adults are seen using both, therefore this is COMPARING bikes and skateboards.

C.) is relavent, because it is telling us that bikes have 2 wheels while the skateboard has 4, thereby CONTRASTING them

D.) is irrelavent, because it is neither comparing of contrasting the two, it is just stating something that does not need to be in the essay.

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.
