Read the excerpt from Catching Sun Rays.

Solar energy saves money on electric bills, and it also helps our power grid. On August 14, 2003, too many people were using electricity because it was a hot day. Suddenly, all the power went out across the Northeast United States and Canada, and 55 million people were suddenly in the dark! In New York City, people had to walk miles across bridges to get home because there were no trains or subways running. It was an expensive incident for the government and industry. But if we use more solar energy, we will put less pressure on the power grid. That means fewer blackouts.

What kind of evidence does the author use to support the claim that solar energy helps the power grid? (1 point)

A. anecdotal <------------------------ Is it A?
B. expert quotation
C. statistical
D. scientific

Pls help me! I don't have too long.

Yes, Annomous. The answer is A, anecdotal.
Do you need help with another question??
Actually I do! Thx Randomized! Here it is:
Read the excerpt from Catching Sun Rays.

But there is another benefit: switching to renewable energy can create jobs. One environmental group says solar power could mean hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States. For example, the largest solar farm on the East Coast in New York created more than 200 local construction jobs. And the farm makes enough electricity each year to power 4,500 homes!

Why does the evidence provided in the excerpt make the author's argument more effective?

It is vague.
It is specific.
It is complicated.
It is scientific.
Hmm... I'll be back in one minute.
It is most likely B or D, specific or scientific.
I recommended looking onto other websites to see if they have the answer.
Oh! Ok thank you Randomized!
I have another Q if you have time:
How does the author reveal the narrator's perspective in Shania's Diary?
a by having Shania share her thoughts and feelings
b by describing how Shania’s face looks when she talks
c by including conversations between Shania and Uriel
d by describing what Shania looks like
Well, I haven't read the story... Do you know what perspective it is in?
I think it is in first person?
Ah. I see. Then the answer could be A.
Ok! Thx, Randomized! You have been soooo helpful!
:-) Thank you, Annomous. You are so polite! Most kids here are like "You're wrong!" or "Thisis taking too long!!!!!!!!" But you are so sweet!
Bye Annomous,
-Randomized
I appreciate ALL of your help, Randomized, but I have one more question if anyone's here!
I think Randomized left, but I'm here!
What's you question?
Sorry that took so long!
Which best describes a legend?
What are your answers? I need to choose one.
a story that takes place in an imaginary world set far into the future
a story that is passed down orally from one generation to the next
a story about the life experiences of a famous person from history
a story about made-up characters who struggle with modern problems
B is right. A story passed down orally (by talking) from one generation to the next.
The EXACT definition of legend: a traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but unauthenticated.
Just if you need help!
Everyone's so helpful here!
ikr! also thx cause ya'll are right
If I'm being honest here, I'm nervous to submit it!
Don't worry! I'm sure you'll do fine! I also agree with Randomized answers so I'm sure you'll get over 85% that's over a B!
Thx Noob! You're so nice!
I just wanna know here, but if ANYONE is here reading this, PLEASE! Give this a second up-vote (I'll do the first) Just please!
-I just wanna know
The first is done! If you have any loyalty, to Jiskha, do it for experiment's sake UP-VOTE IT!
Also, everyone! I figured out the answer to the second question Annomous asked! The answer is Specific! This is because instead of sciencey words, they have specific numbers and places.
Hope this helps you!
