Read the following excerpt from "Woman Who Helped Hide Anne Frank Dies at 100" by Teri Schultz. TERI SCHULTZ: Miep Gies said she

did not like being called a hero. Yet, she risked her life many times over to help the Frank family during the two years they hid from the Nazis in a secret annex built into the Trading Company office in Amsterdam where she'd worked for Otto Frank almost a decade. Providing refuge to Jews, she noted later, carried a punishment of at least six months in a concentration camp. Still, the Austrian-born Dutch woman, knighted by the governments of Germany and the Netherlands, recipient of a medal from Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, always insisted she had done nothing extraordinary. Which answer best summarizes the central idea of the excerpt? After the war, Miep Gies received many honors for her attempts to save the Frank family. Miep Gies provided refuge to a Jewish family, even though she could have been punished. Although Miep Gies never considered herself a hero; after the war, many other people did. Miep Gies was knighted by two governments and received a medal from Yad Vashem.

The response that most effectively captures the main point of the excerpt is Although Miep Gies did not see herself as a hero; many others regarded her as such after the war.

This passage highlights aspects of Miep Gies' efforts to assist Jews in evading the Nazi regime and emphasizes her belief that her actions were not remarkable, reinforcing the notion that she did not view herself as a hero.

There is no additional information in this excerpt to justify selecting the other choices as the correct response.

The answer on the exam is A. I just completed the test. I’m not sure why someone gave such a lengthy response, but the correct answer is A. Miep Gies preferred not to be referred to as a hero.

Brainliest please.

The following passage is biologist Hope Jahren's prologue to her 2016 memoir Lab Girl. A prologue
Naddika [7460]

Answer:

In her introduction, Jahren makes rhetorical remarks regarding the significance of flora and her reluctance to study marine environments despite being in Hawaii.

She further discusses the various life forms present both on land and in aquatic settings, asserting that terrestrial life forms surpass those in water. The biologist feels that humans often overlook the vital role that trees and plants play in our ecosystems. She believes that while people coexist with plants, they often fail to recognize their existence.

Jahren poses a rhetorical question, urging her audience to observe what lies outside their windows.

Are they seeing plants? Or do they instead observe skyscrapers, structures, factories, and so forth? She posits that individuals often focus on artificial constructs at the expense of recognizing flora.

The biologist is apprehensive about the annual rate of deforestation without adequate replanting efforts. She approximates that over the last decade, around five billion trees have been removed, which she likens to the land area of France.

She emphasizes the urgency of her message by highlighting that every decade, the equivalent of one France is lost, with an estimated one trillion trees having been permanently eradicated due to significant logging activities.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question serves to elicit thought rather than requiring a direct response, enhancing dramatic effect.

What is twohy arguing
ddd [7416]

This question appears to be incomplete. The accompanying image likely serves as the reference for it.

Explanation:

The phrase "wanna toss the ol' virtual pigskin" utilized by Twohy describes a man deeply engrossed in his work; depicting him in a virtual setting argues against excessive workaholism.

It suggests that taking time off from work is a sensible practice.
