Read the passage
People use distractions all the time. Whether it's a soothing song in the background of morning traffic or whether it's going to a movie to escape the ordinary feeling of the workweek, distractions are everywhere. But what happens when distractions become obsessions?
Many young people play video games as a way to distract or entertain themselves. However, many young people also become obsessed with video games. Young people need to be more responsible with their time and how they spend it. Playing video games is harmless until it becomes an addiction. Then, like anything else in excess, the distraction turns into the focal point of one's life.
According to 11th Annual MediaWise Video Game Report Card, "The majority of gamers between 6 and 18 years of age spend more than 20 hours a week playing video games. 40% of those say they play more than 30 hours a week gaming." That is an incredible number. This means that many young people who play video games spend as much time gaming as others spend at a part-time job.
Also, many gamers play indoors. Consider the statistic from 11th Annual MediaWise Video Game Report Card. This means that the majority of the people who play games play indoors. They rarely do any outside activities, including exercise.
In addition, most gamers who play video games play alone by themselves. When they do play games with others, it's usually done online because it's convenient. While they may interact with other gamers, rarely do they get to socialize with everyday people.
Not everyone who plays video games is compulsive. Many just play as a diversion. It's important for people to know that a diversion is just that, a temporary distraction. It isn't a career, it isn't family, and it isn't permanent.
What sentence could be added to persuade the audience that too much gaming is harmful?
A.
A lack of physical activity can lead to obesity and diabetes.
B.
The Sony PlayStation 3 is a much better game console than the Nintendo Wii.
C.
Sony said that they will try and meet the demands for the PlayStation 3 by the end of the year.
D.
There are many games available online that do not require a console to play.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Throughout the passage, the author takes the stance that too much gaming is unhealthy and is a bad obsession for young people.
Let's analyze the answer choices.
A.
This choice is correct. The passage states that "young people become obsessed with video games". The author also says that "many gamers play indoors...They rarely do any outside activities, including exercise." If a sentence about the harmful effects of no exercise was added, it would help support the argument that too much gaming is harmful.
B.
This choice is incorrect. This sentence has nothing to do with the fact that excess gaming is bad.
C.
This choice is also incorrect. A release date for the PlayStation 3 doesn't help persuade the readers that too much gaming is not good.
D.
This choice is also incorrect. Games without consoles do not support the argument that gaming in excess is bad.
The best choice is A: A lack of physical activity can lead to obesity and diabetes.

Read the excerpt below, then answer the question. One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court. There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet. The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep. They rode slowly, and talked and laughed and were very jolly. As they were passing through a grove of small trees, they heard a great fluttering over their heads and a feeble chirping in the grass by the roadside. "Stith! stith! stith!" came from the leafy branches above them. "Cheep! cheep! cheep!" came from the wet grass. "What is the matter here?" asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. "Oh, it's only some old robins!" said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin. "The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, and the mother bird is making a great fuss about it.” "What a pity! They'll die down there in the grass," said the third lawyer, whose name I forget. "Oh, well! They're nothing but birds," said Mr. Hardin. "Why should we bother?" "Yes, why should we?" said Mr. Speed. Where does the story take place? What additional information is provided by the location? Your answer should be 3 to 4 sentences.
Answer:
Where does the story take place? They seem to be walking through the woods due to being under the trees where they hear the birds. It also seems to take place before there were cars due to the fact that they are lawyers and they are riding horses. It is also interesting to note that they were going into the next town - riding horses.....

What Causes Tides?
The daily rise and fall of Earth’s waters on its coastlines are called tides. As the tide comes in, the level of the water on the beach rises gradually. When the water reaches its highest point, it is high tide. Then the tide goes out, flowing back toward the sea. When the water reaches its lowest point, it is low tide. Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun.
Neap Tides In between spring tides, at the first and third quarters of the moon, the sun and moon pull at right angles to each other. This line-up produces a neap tide, a tide with the least difference between low and high tide. During a neap tide, the sun’s gravity pulls some of the water away from the tidal bulge facing the moon. This acts to “even out” the water level over Earth’s surface, reducing the difference between high and low tides.
A.) What Causes Tides?
B.) Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun.
C.) “even out”
D.) Neap Tides

because, the text is separated and emphasized even more than the text in the paragraphMotion: E- learning is better than classroom setting, i need points to the topic for opposing the motion with explanation.
this is a debate and i need correct answers.
Perhaps you could talk about the benefits of face to face encounters, and how teachers have difficulty assessing your level of understanding when in an isolated environment such as E-learning. How Teachers cannot create a personal connection to the student, that would allow for a deeper understanding of the student, and more personalized help and attention.
Another point that could be brought out is the fact of social interaction. Speaking from experience as a home school student, E-learning is incredibly isolating. There is no interaction with other students outside of a little chat box.
E-learning is infinitely easier to cheat on. This website being proof of that.
Overall, E-learning simply isn't as enriching of a environment as public school is.
