In Melville's poem Tom Deadlight, why was the meter difficult to figure out?​

Dogs make wonderful pets because they us stay happy and healthy. the topic sentence is "dogs make wonderful pets." , is this correct? i keep doubting myself.

Which of the following would not be a good supporting sentence for an example paragraph with the following topic sentence?

Which quotation from the passage best supports the themethat humans have a natural desire to learn about theworld? "they were men. i remember the dead man's face.""at least, we make a beginning."and the magic tools are broken—but we can look atthem and wonder."but they were men who built the city, not gods ordemons.
