using the outline, answer the following question.

in an essay about the apollo 13 mission, where should this sentence appear?

the mission should have proceeded normally, but problems arose during the flight.

a. in the conclusion

b. in the body of the essay as a supporting detail

c. in the introduction

d. in the body of the essay as a topic sentence

D. in the body of the essay as a topic sentence.

Explanation:

This sentence should appear in the body of the essay as a topic sentence. This is because the sentence is introducing a topic that falls under the umbrella of the "events of the flight" which are contained in the body of the essay. This is the option that best follows the structure that has already been determined in the outline.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.

explanation:

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
