Read this excerpt from the persuasive essay, "Saying No to Phosphates." Then, answer the question below.
Phosphates are going to destroy our water supply if we don’t stop using them soon. They have already caused serious damage to rivers and lakes throughout the country. Companies that use phosphates in the manufacture of detergents don’t care about the environment. They only care about making money. That’s why they opposed the laws that ban phosphates from detergents. So, if phosphates are not banned in detergents, let’s not use detergents at all.

In the 1970s, when people first started worrying about phosphates, the detergent companies said that soap without phosphates wouldn’t clean clothes and dishes properly. I think using water to wash clothes and dishes is good enough. It won’t pollute the environment, and we will have a cleaner planet. Water is a good cleaning agent. In the past, our ancestors did not have soaps and detergents and they managed well. We can also do the same if we put our mind to it.

Which phrase best defines “quotations”

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
