Which sentence is off topic?

o the first sentence
o the second sentence
o the third sentence
o the fourth sentence ​

Answer:

the 3rd one

Explanation:

all the other sentences talk about how they make sacrifices the 3rd just states that society has punished heros

the third sentence

The topic of a text is the subject of the text, or what it covers.

Topic

The topic of the paragraph is people that made sacrifices to better the world. This means to stay on topic the writer should only provide claims or evidence that directly shows a sacrifice that improved the lives of others. The third sentence does not discuss this topic, instead, it gives the author's belief.

Tone and Purpose

The text is informational and provides facts and examples to back up the claims in the text. Informational texts like this have a formal tone and tend to not include personal opinions. So, the opinion seen in the third sentence strays from the original tone and goes off-topic. Additionally, the purpose of this paragraph is to provide the readers with information about this topic. Thus, the third sentence does not fulfill this purpose.

For these reasons, the third sentence should be removed.

Company A has beanbag chairs and large tables instead of traditional office furniture. Employees are encouraged to play games with each other and think outside of the box. Working together is highly valued.

Company B employees wear suits and ties. There is a formal meeting every morning led by the President of the company. Employees are given tasks and expected to complete them on time. Employees work alone instead of on teams.

The companies described above are very different when it comes to which characteristic of an organization?

a. division of labor
b. culture
c. rules & regulations
d. rewards & consequences

RUTH: (compassionately) Yes, you always were—and you suffering so much, too!

ROBERT: (musingly) So I used to stare out over the fields to the hills, out there—(He points to the horizon) and somehow after a time I’d forget any pain I was in, and start dreaming. I knew the sea was over beyond those hills,—the folks had told me—and I used to wonder what the sea was like, and try to form a picture of it in my mind. (With a smile) There was all the mystery in the world to me then about that—far-off sea—and there still is! It called to me then just as it does now. (After a slight pause) And other times my eyes would follow this road, winding off into the distance, toward the hills, as if it, too, was searching for the sea. And I’d promise myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would find the sea together. (With a smile) You see, my making this trip is only keeping that promise of long ago.
