You're welcome.
1. The correct answer is B. An analogy helps clarify a complex idea by comparing it with a simpler one. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options A, C, and D by recognizing that they do not accurately describe how an analogy clarifies a complex idea. Option A suggests presenting multiple definitions, which may confuse the reader further. Option C suggests breaking down the idea into smaller pieces, which is more aligned with "breaking down" or "analyzing" rather than clarifying. Option D suggests pointing out a single common trait, which is more aligned with finding a commonality rather than clarifying a complex idea.
2. The correct answer is C. Describing the setting accurately is not important when writing an expository essay. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options A, B, and D by recognizing that they are all essential elements of writing an expository essay. Option A highlights the importance of using clear, straightforward language to convey information effectively. Option B emphasizes the need for proofreading to ensure legibility and correct mechanics. Option D mentions the importance of showing cause and effect, which helps to explain the relationships between events or ideas in an expository essay.
