Please check my answer thank you very much. I revised my answer
You can use trick sentences or rhymes as mnemonic devices to recall information. For example, you can recall this rhyme: “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” The rhyming of “2” and “blue” should help you remember that Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492.
Or you can use the sentence “Every good boy does fine” to remember the notes of the treble clef in music notation. Simply name the first letter of each word in the “nonsense sentence” to remember E,G,B,D, and F—in that order. You can also recall information by using acronyms. An acronym condenses information into an abbreviation expressed as a set of capital letters. For example, WHO stands for the World Health Organization. To
recall the names of the Great Lakes, you can associate the names of the lakes with the acronym HOMES to remember Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.
Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this paragraph?
A. Mnemonic devices are silly sentences while acronyms are abbreviations.
B. You can use mnemonic devices to recall information.

My answer is C. Mnemonic devices are usually rhymes while acronyms require definitions.
Your answer is incorrect. The main idea of the paragraph is that you can use mnemonic devices, such as trick sentences, rhymes, and acronyms, to recall information. The correct answer is B. "You can use mnemonic devices to recall information."
To check your answer, let's analyze the paragraph. The paragraph explains how mnemonic devices, such as trick sentences, rhymes, and acronyms, can be used to recall information. It provides specific examples like the rhyme about Columbus and the sentence for remembering musical notes. It also mentions that acronyms condense information into abbreviations, with WHO as an example. Finally, it suggests using the acronym HOMES for remembering the names of the Great Lakes.
Based on the main ideas presented, option B. "You can use mnemonic devices to recall information" seems to be the best choice. This option accurately summarizes the main point that mnemonic devices can be used as memory aids. Option C, "Mnemonic devices are usually rhymes while acronyms require definitions," is not an accurate summary of the paragraph because it oversimplifies the roles of mnemonic devices and acronyms. Therefore, your answer, C, is incorrect.
The correct answer is B. "You can use mnemonic devices to recall information."
No, sorry.
“Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally.”
That’s a mnemonic for PEMDAS. It doesn’t rhyme. Nor do WHO nor HOMES.
