Answer the question after reading the paragraph plz When some nations argued for cultural and scientific exemptions to the moratorium on whaling, the IWC agreed. Any government can apply for an IWC permit for aboriginal subsistence whaling. With such a permit, a native population with a longstanding cultural and nutritional dependence on whaling may continue the practice, within limits that protect the whale population as a whole. Similarly, countries can request exemption from the ban for the purpose of scientific research. In both cases, the IWC limits the number of whales that can be killed within a given period of time. According to IWC studies, whale populations naturally grow by 4% to 10% per year; cultural and scientific whaling must stay well below these numbers, so that the whales’ birth rate will always outpace the losses from whaling.

Part A What is the central idea of the paragraph?

1.Whale populations are growing slowly each year.

2.The ban on whaling applies to all IWC member nations.

3.Governments must prove they are entitled to continue whaling.

4.Limited whaling should be permitted under special circumstances.

Part B
Which sentence from the text best supports the answer in part A?

1.“Therefore, no one can reasonably argue that despite its brutality, whaling is necessary because whale products are essential.”

2.“When studies showed that many of the world’s whale populations had fallen to alarming lows, the IWC banned commercial whaling altogether—a ban that all member nations must obey.”

3.“When some nations argued for cultural and scientific exemptions to the moratorium on whaling, the IWC agreed.”

4.“Whales face many dangers besides being the deliberate targets of hunters.”

nah. i'm good.

the answer would be: it explains that at least one son must join the church

the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' indicates how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church. this phrase demonstrates that his father offered him as a last resort since none of his brothers chose to serve the church.

hope this answer you: )!

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
