ANSWER 2: The roadmap sentence in the introduction is sentence 3: "Therefore, this article will demonstrate the unfortunate truth that long-term use of marijuana can lead to dangerous consequences."
To determine the roadmap sentence, we need to look for the sentence that lays out the main points or structure of the article. In this case, sentence 3 introduces the purpose of the article and states that it will demonstrate the negative consequences of long-term marijuana use.
ANSWER 3: The background information in the introduction is sentence 2: "In fact, the use of marijuana regularly can actually have negative effects of both a physical and psychological nature."
Background information provides context and sets the stage for the topic of discussion. Sentence 2 in the introduction provides important background information by stating that the regular use of marijuana can have negative effects on both physical and psychological aspects.
ANSWER 4: The thesis statement in the introduction is sentence 4: "Therefore, this article will demonstrate the unfortunate truth that long-term use of marijuana can lead to dangerous consequences."
The thesis statement presents the main argument or point of the article. In this case, sentence 4 clearly states the main argument that the article will demonstrate the dangerous consequences of long-term marijuana use.
ANSWER 5: The supporting ideas (shown in the roadmap) of the article are:
- Marijuana can cause physical problems.
- Marijuana can cause psychological problems.
- Marijuana has negative consequences.
These supporting ideas are derived from the roadmap sentence in the introduction (sentence 3), which states that the article will demonstrate the negative consequences of long-term marijuana use. The physical and psychological problems caused by marijuana use are directly related to these negative consequences.
ANSWER 6: The main idea of the entire article is:
- Marijuana can cause physical problems.
- Marijuana can cause psychological problems.
- Marijuana has negative consequences.
The main idea of the article is derived from the thesis statement in the introduction (sentence 4), which states that the article will demonstrate the dangerous consequences of long-term marijuana use. The physical and psychological problems caused by marijuana use form the main idea of the article.
ANSWER 7: The two ideas mentioned in the roadmap will eventually become body paragraphs.
The roadmap sentence in the introduction (sentence 3) outlines the main points or structure of the article. These main points will be further developed and expanded upon in the body paragraphs of the article.
ANSWER 8: The thesis statement and roadmap will not be repeated elsewhere in the article.
The thesis statement and roadmap are typically included in the introduction of an article to provide an overview of the main points or structure. They are not usually repeated in other sections of the article.
ANSWER 9: A good word to replace "placid" would be "mild".
"Placid" means calm or peaceful. In the given context, the sentence is stating that marijuana is not as calm as people think. A suitable alternative word that conveys a similar meaning is "mild," which means not harsh or intense.
ANSWER 10: The word in brackets that fits best in body paragraph 2 is "Firstly".
The word "Firstly" indicates that the paragraph is introducing the first supporting point in a series of points. It helps to structure the paragraph and signal the beginning of a new idea.
ANSWER 11: The supporting sentences are:
- Sentence 4
- Sentence 5
- Sentence 6
- Sentence 8
Supporting sentences provide evidence, examples, and explanations to support the main idea or argument of a paragraph. In this case, sentences 4, 5, 6, and 8 all provide supporting information for the main idea that marijuana can cause physical problems.
ANSWER 12: The topic sentence is sentence 8.
The topic sentence introduces the main idea or topic of the paragraph. In this case, sentence 8 introduces the topic of the paragraph, which is the misconception that marijuana is not associated with physical problems.
ANSWER 13: The topic sentence contains:
- A brief introductory sentence of what the paragraph will be about
- The arguments, examples, and support for each paragraph
- Main ideas for each paragraph
The topic sentence sets the topic and main idea of the paragraph and provides an introductory statement about what the paragraph will discuss. It may also include the arguments, examples, and supporting details that will be presented in the paragraph.
ANSWER 14: The concluding sentence contains:
- A brief sentence which sums up what the paragraph was about
The concluding sentence at the end of a paragraph typically summarizes or wraps up the main points or ideas discussed in the paragraph. It provides closure to the paragraph by restating the main idea or drawing a conclusion.
ANSWER 15: Supporting sentences contain:
- The arguments, examples, and support for each paragraph
- Supporting ideas for each paragraph
- Main ideas for each paragraph
Supporting sentences provide evidence, examples, and explanations to support the main idea or argument of a paragraph. They contribute to the development and coherence of the paragraph by providing supporting details and expanding on the main idea.
