Read the passage The attack was a great but not total, success. Although the U.S. Pacific Fleet was shattered, |its aircraft carriers (not in port at the time of the attack) were still afloat and Pearl Harbor was surprisingly intact.| The shipyards, fuel storage areas, and submarine base suffered no more than slight damage. More importantly, the American people, previously divided over the issue of U.S. involvement in World War 2, rallied together with a total commitment to victory over Japan and her Axis partners. This is due today :)

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

Which best analyzes how the boldfaced text supports the main idea? A) It shows that the Japanese were not able to cause as much destruction as they had hoped; which shows they were unsuccessful. B) It shows that the Japanese aircraft carriers were undamaged, which proves the attack was successful. C) It shows that Americans caused significant damage to the Japanese fleet, which shows the Japanese were unsuccessful. D) It shows that American ships suffered massive damage, which supports the idea that the attack was successful.

I also have about 3 more questions I could use some help on

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

What is the bold part of the story in the question?

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

|its aircraft carriers (not in port at the time of the attack) were still afloat and Pearl Harbor was surprisingly intact.|

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

I think the first sentence cancels out 2 options.

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

okay

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

It cancels out the ones that say successful then right?

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

Right, the sentence says that it was not succesful. This cancels out the 2 answers that say it was a success.

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

so is it A?

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

That is the answer I would choose based on the text :) Good Luck!

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

I have about 3 more questions is there any way you could help?

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

Sure

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

Thanks :)

This is the same question?

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

whoops

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

copied the wrong one

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

Read the passage Ten war relocation centers were built in remote deserts, plains, and swamps of seven states; Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. Manzanar, located in the Owens Valley of California between the Sierra Nevada on the west and the Inyo mountains on the east, was typical in many ways of the 10 camps. Which best identifies the main idea of this passage? A) The relocation centers were all modeled after Manzanar. B) The relocation centers were hastily built. C) The relocation centers were all fairly small. D) The relocation centers were crowded.

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

I had already typed out the questions so I could just copy and paste them and I copied the wrong one

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

That's alright. So if you read the passage it doesn't really contain any information regarding it's size or population.

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

okay so C and D are out

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

I agree, that leaves A and B. What do you think it is?

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

A...

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

I agree :)

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

Oh thats all thanks for the help :)

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

Great! :)

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):

OpenStudy (bear17bear):

Sorry to hear that you failed, wish I could've been of more help.

OpenStudy (jas1k7879):
