Read the excerpt from "The Invention of the Sewing Machine" by Grace Rogers Cooper.
Isaac Singer, whose name is known around the world as a manufacturer of sewing machines, was the eighth child of poor German immigrants. Isaac was born on October 27, 1811, in Pittstown, New York, but most of his early life was spent in Oswego. He worked as a mechanic and cabinetmaker, but acquired an interest in the theater. Under the name of Isaac Merritt, he went to Rochester and became an actor. In 1839, during an absence from the theater, he completed his first invention, a mechanical excavator, which he sold for $2000. With the money Singer organized a theatrical troupe of his own, which he called “The Merritt Players.” When the group failed in Fredericksburg, Ohio, Singer was stranded for lack of funds.
Which fact best supports the central idea that Isaac Singer was a resourceful man?
He was the son of poor German immigrants.
He was born on October 27, 1811.
He acquired an interest in the theater.
He invented and sold a mechanical excavator.

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, the muttering retreats of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels and sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: how is this excerpt an example of dramatic monologue? the narrator is using long, interconnected sentences. the narrator is able to see into two character's heads. the narrator is addressing the audience directly. the narrator is jumping from one topic to the next topic
