What is authors main claim for the following paragraph? "Businesses will spend more than $30 billion on non-video ads in the U.S. alone this year. People who want to advertise pay dimes or pennies each time their message gets clicked. The tech companies split the money with website that run the ads. Publishers tend to get about 50 percent of the profit. This means that the misleading news business can make up to tens of thousands of dollars per month."

What is the author's main claim? "A penny for your thoughts? If it's a 1943 copper penny, it could be worth as much as fifty thousand dollars. In 1943, most pennies were made out of steel since copper was needed for World War II, so the 1943 copper penny is ultra-rare. Another rarity is the 1955 double die penny. These pennies were mistakenly double stamped, so they have overlapping dates and letters. If it is uncirculated, it'd easily fetch $25,000 at an auction. "

What is the author's main claim? "Within an hour after the earthquake, the shock from seeing the smoke of San Francisco burning could be seen from miles away. And for three days and nights, this lurid tower swayed in the sky, reddening the sun, darkening the day, and filling the land with smoke."

The main idea is supported by what?

Sir Isaac Newton was contemplating the universe in his garden one day in 1665 when he noticed an apple fall from a tree. Newton wondered to himself, “Why should the apple always fall to the ground? Why does it not go sideways or upwards but directly toward the Earth’s center?” After much contemplation Newton concluded that objects are pulled to the Earth through a force that he called gravity, which means heaviness in Latin. On July 5^th, 1687 Newton formally expressed his law of universal gravitation in series of books called The Principia.

What is evidence?

What evidence did the author provide to support her claim about social media? The use of social media sites, like Facebook, can give you a false sense of reality and cause you physical harm. According to Jean Conklin, a clinical psychiatrist at University of Maryland Hospital, in Baltimore, “Social media is to your mind what sugar is to your body – bad all around.” The main reason we all ought to stop looking at social media is because it makes us think that the people in our lives (or virtually in our lives, anyway) are happier, more fulfilled and more successful than they probably are; which makes us feel more depressed, frustrated and unfulfilled than we probably are.
