1. To identify words that clue the reader about the compare-and-contrast organization in the opening paragraph of "The Next Big Thing," we need to understand what this organization looks like. In a compare-and-contrast essay, the author presents similarities and differences between two or more subjects.
Looking at the options provided:
- "Pros and cons" is a phrase commonly used when considering the advantages and disadvantages of different options. It suggests that there will be a comparison of positive and negative aspects.
- "For example" often introduces specific instances or cases that will be compared or contrasted.
- "What it led to" hints at cause and effect, suggesting a possible comparison or contrast between different outcomes.
Therefore, the words "pros and cons" and "for example" would be the clues that point towards the compare-and-contrast organization in the opening paragraph of "The Next Big Thing."
2. To determine which note in the section titled "Television" is the most informative in placing television in history, we need to evaluate each option.
- "Television was originally called the image dissector." This note provides some insight into the earlier name of television but does not directly relate to its historical placement.
- "Television was used for the first time by Bell Telephone." This note suggests a specific context for the first use of television, but it does not offer a broad historical perspective.
- "Patented by American Philo Farnsworth, the television was first used in 1927." This note provides information about the patent and the first actual use of television, which helps establish a historical timeline for its development.
Based on this analysis, the note "Patented by American Philo Farnsworth, the television was first used in 1927" is the most informative in placing television in history.
