Read the excerpt from "Blue Crabs Provide Evidence of Oil Tainting Gulf Food Web" by John Flesher of the Associated Press (2010):

Weeks ago, before engineers pumped mud and cement to plug the gusher, scientists began finding specks of oil in crab larvae plucked from waters across the Gulf coast.
The government said last week that three-quarters of the spilled oil has been removed or naturally dissipated from the water. But the crab larvae
discovery was an ominous sign that crude had already infiltrated the Gulf's vast food web-and could affect it for years to come.
"It would suggest the oil has reached a position where it can start moving up the food chain instead of just hanging in the water," said Bob Thomas, a
biologist at Loyola University in New Orleans. "Something likely will eat those oiled larvae... and then that animal will be eaten by something bigger and son on."

What sentence from the text best expresses the central idea, "Scientists fear long-term negative effects on Gulf coast organisms from contaminated blue crab larvae?"

•The government said last week that three-quarters of the spilled oil has been removed or naturally dissipated from the water.
•"But what's going to happen next year, if this water is polluted and it's killing the eggs and larvae? I think it's going to be a long-term problem."
•"Something likely will eat those oiled larvae ... and then that animal will be eaten by something bigger and so on."
•She told the magazine there are two encouraging signs for the wild larvae - they are alive when collected and may lose oil droplets.

I know this is not what you are looking for but I can give an example of an essay if you would like!  Would you like me to give you an essay I wrote so you can follow how I structured it?

Explanation:

First you need a hook! AKA "Thesis"

Next you need to create the body. Which are paragraphs that support your thesis.

The very last paragraph should be your concluding paragraph.

If you don't know what these words mean let me know I can help more and share an essay I wrote to help! Have a wonderful day and good luck! :))

This is an essay that was wrote by me and one of my friends and I copied and pasted so if you see some of the same lines ignore it lol.

What does your identity say about you? Do you know your identity? Writing this essay helped me understand more about my identity. This essay is about my identity from the past, present,and future. First, I want to talk about my past. What does your identity say about you? Do you know your identity? Writing this essay helped me understand more about my identity. This essay is about my identity from the past, present, and future. First, I want to talk about my past.“What have I gone through in my past that has helped shape my identity?” Something that can affect our identity is where and who we lived with when we were kids. As kids we watched all the adults around us and copied them. It helped us learn. Even if when we copied them it was not a good thing how are we supposed to know? Everything I have done or that has happened to me in my personal past has made me who I am today. I remember watching my grandma and papa. I learned to walk a little early because of them. I touched everything to see what it was. Hearing my grandma and papa talk helped me learn english. Listening to music helped me understand it more. Eating food helps me understand what I like and don’t like. I think who I am today is a much better version of me than the past me. I have learned and grown over the years ever since I moved in with my grandma. This makes sense because this is all what I went through in the past that shaped who I am today. Everything that has happened in my past or early years shaped me and helped me learn. Now I know what I did wrong and what I did right. I express my identity by my love for singing. Some of our famous singers influenced me.  In the future I want to identify as an actress and possibly a musician too! In these careers I hope I have the chance to travel as well! I don’t want to be identified as a “Rich famous celebrity.” I am, and will be so much more than that. I want to be treated as a normal person. Even if I don’t get as known, or a celebrity. I will still be happy because I am doing

5, 1, 3, 4, and 2 is an exceptionally formal number that is presented in chronological order.

What is formal?

In comparison to the casual language, academic language is less personal. When speaking for business or scholarly goals, such as graduate program assignments, it is employed. Slang words, contractions, and first-person pronouns like "I" and "We" are not used in formal language. Spontaneous speech is more relaxed and unplanned.

The most formal sentence is with respect to formal and informal:

You know, the homework is a lot harder than it looks.

What is unique about a poem as a form of literature? How is it different from other forms?
A. It relies on readers' use of inferences.
B. It focuses on feelings that humans share.
C. It includes specific nouns and verbs.
D. It is condensed into a small space.

Answers

Poetry is a type of literature that conveys a thought, describes a scene or a story in a concentrated lyrical arrangement of words. Poems can be structured with rhyming lines and meter, the rhythm and emphasis of a line based on syllabic beats. Poems can also be freeform, which follows no formal structure.

Answer: D. It is condensed into a small space

Explation: The lines of a poem tend to be more complex, more “packed with meaning,” than lines of text in other types of literature. Because many poems throw grammar to the wind, this lack of familiar structure can make it even more difficult to understand.
