the best shortcut for finding main ideas in tex is to?

write a sumary of each paragraph .

answer the question are a the end of the chapter's.

look for the topic statement for each major paragraph.

Answers

Answer 1
I would say look for the topic sentence or statement, as they talk about what the paragraph is gonna talk about. Hope this helps!
Answer 2
The shortest way to find the main idea of a text is to look for a repeating idea or main event in each text. Sort of like looking for a repeating theme. If you're reading a story about how Jane went to a tiki bar and what she learned there, you'll probably see several main events reoccur. Such as she forgetting something or disregarding someone's feelings over and over again, leading to something bad happening to her. A Main Idea is usually stated in the first paragraph of the essay. Clear and out there.

I cant answer the other things for you, as it looks as if you'll have to look for the topic statement for each major paragraph. Usually the topic statement is the first sentence, or the main idea of each paragraph, most of the time clearly stated in the first sentence.

I would say accompanied. It's in the wrong tense. Accompany would be the correct form.
"Accompanied" is incorrect. The reason why is because "and I will accompanied you to the doctor's office" is supposed to be "and I will accompany you to the the doctor's office". Accompanied means that you already went with someone as their company.

Which sentence in this passage from Herman Melville’s short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener" is an example of verbal irony?
The passage is this:

I seldom lose my temper, much more seldom indulge in dangerous indignation at wrongs and outrages, but I must be permitted to be rash here and declare that I consider the sudden and violent abrogation of the office of Master in Chancery, by the new Constitution, as a premature act, inasmuch as I had counted upon a life lease of the profits, whereas I only received those of a few short years. But this is by the way.

My chambers were upstairs at No.___ Wall Street. At one end they looked upon the white wall of the interior of a spacious skylight shaft, penetrating the building from top to bottom. This view might have been considered rather tame than otherwise, deficient in what landscape painters call "life." But, if so, the view from the other end of my chambers offered at least a contrast, if nothing more. In that direction, my windows commanded an unobstructed view of a lofty brick wall, black by age and everlasting shade, which wall required no spyglass to bring out its lurking beauties, but, for the benefit of all nearsighted spectators, was pushed up to within ten feet of my windowpanes. Owing to the great height of the surrounding buildings, and my chambers’ being on the second floor, the interval between this wall and mine not a little resembled a huge square cistern.
