Assuming yоu аre creаting аn оutline оf the paragraph below, identify the main idea—the sentence that would begin your outline. The main idea may appear anywhere in the paragraph. In the space provided, write only the number of the sentence that states the main idea. 1In 1798, a few naturalists were skeptically probing a specimen delivered to the British Museum in London, looking for signs that a prankster had slyly stitched the bill of an oversized duck onto the pelt of a small furry mammal. 2They didn’t know it, but they were examining the remains of a platypus, a web-footed mammal about half the size of a house cat. 3Like the other mammals, the duck-billed platypus has mammary glands and hair. 4However, like birds and reptiles, it has a cloaca, an enlarged duct through which reproductive cells, feces, and excretions from the kidneys pass. 5The platypus also lays shelled eggs, as do birds and most reptiles; however, the young hatch before their embryonic development is complete. 6And although the creature’s fleshy bill does appear ducklike, its broad, flat, furry tail looks like the one on a beaver. 8With its unusual traits, the platypus invites us to challenge preconceived notions of what constitutes “an animal.”

In the space provided, write only the number of the sentence that states the main idea. 1What is the connection between our nightly dreams and the actual events that precede them? 2A naturalistic study of the impact of daytime events on the content of dreams was conducted by researchers shortly after a major earthquake struck the San Francisco area and caused more than $5 billion in damages and killed 62 people. 3The researchers asked students at two universities in the San Francisco area to keep track of the number of upsetting dreams that they had during a three-week period immediately following the earthquake. 4As a control group, students at the University of Arizona who had not been near the earthquake did the same thing. 5Not surprisingly, the students in the area of the earthquake reported more vivid, upsetting dreams then the students in Arizona. 6In addition, 40 percent of the students in the San Francisco area reported at least one dream about earthquakes, compared with 5 percent of the students in Arizona. 7Persons exposed to highly stressful events, such as wars, sometimes have nightmarish dreams about them for many years afterwards. 8Clearly, events and concerns in our daily lives are among the most common things that we dream about.

Write а fоrmаl оutline оf the following pаssage (according to the guidelines we discussed). Please make sure to preserve the four components of effective outlines. 1 Cultures differ in the extent to which gender role are distinct or overlap. A masculine culture typically views men as assertive, oriented to material success, and strong; people in such a culture tend to see women as modest, focused on the quality of life, and tender. In a feminine culture both men and women are supposed to be modest, oriented to maintaining the quality of life, tender. On the basis of Hofstede’s research on 53 countries, the 10 countries with the highest masculinity scores (starting from the top) are Japan, Austria, Venezuela, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Ireland, Jamaica, Great Britain, and Germany. The top 10 countries with the highest femininity scores (starting from the top) are Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Costa Rica, Yugoslavia, Finland, Chile, Portugal, and Thailand. Of the 53 countries ranked, the United States ranks 15th most masculine.   2 A study of babies raised in Japan and the United States illustrates the way in which masculine and feminine culture teach boys and girls differently. Boys raised in Japan are significantly noisier than girls; girls raised in the United States are significantly noisier than boys. This difference is most likely due to the ways in which mothers and (to a somewhat lesser extent) fathers react to the babies Both of these cultures are relatively high on masculinity and so, not surprisingly, teach girls and boys differently. In the dominant cultures of the United States, Japan, and Germany, for example, the emphasis on material success is seen in the importance that students place on grades. Students in such cultures are conditioned to strive to be the best, and school failure is shameful and extremely significant. Students from more feminine cultures place greater emphasis on the quality of life and give much less importance to such issues as grades. Students in these cultures are content to be average and failing in school is unpleasant but nothing serious. 3 The masculine culture socializes its children to be assertive, ambitious, and competitive. A masculine organization emphasizes the bottom line and rewards its workers on the basis of their contribution to the organization. The feminine culture socializes its children to be modest and to emphasize close interpersonal relationships. A feminine organization is more likely to emphasize work satisfaction and to reward its workers on the basis of need, and employee with a large family, for example may get raise than a single person would not get even if the single person contributed more to the organization. 4 Masculine cultures are more likely to confront conflicts directly and to competitively fight out any differences; they are more likely to emphasize with-lose conflict strategies. Feminine cultures are more likely to emphasize compromises and negotiation; they are more likely to emphasize win-win solutions to conflicts.
