What is the text structure of the following passage? Do you have a dog or cat residing at your home? If the answer is yes, be sure to keep onions out of your pet’s reach. Onions contain an ingredient called thiosulfate. While this ingredient is perfectly safe for humans, it is toxic to cats and dogs. Thiosulfate weakens a cat or dog’s red blood cells. If your pet consumes enough onions, the red blood cells can even burst! As you can see, the accidental ingestion of onions by your dog or cat can result in worrisome consequences.
Cause & Effect
Is the following sentence written correctly: I love to read short stories, but I enjoy writing them even more due to my creative mind.
No. By adding "due to my creative mind" the sentence loses its conciseness and falters into a run-on sentence.
Is the following sentence written correctly: The tiny ship would have been disoriented if the crew had not been courageous.
Yes! "If" is the subordinating conjunction. The sentence does not require a comma because the dependent clause comes after the independent clause.
Determine the theme of the story: A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow. "Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked with a laugh. "Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get there sooner than you think. I'll run you a race and prove it." The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for fun, he agreed. So the Fox, who had agreed to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. The Hare was soon far out of sight. To make the Tortoise feel very deeply about how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up. The Tortoise kept going slowly but steadily. After a time, he passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully. When he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.
Theme: Overconfidence can be your downfall.

What is the main idea of the text: In 1847, Charlotte Brontë and her sister Anne both published their first novels. The following year, their sister Emily also published a first novel. Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre, was one of the best-sellers of 1847. Emily's novel, Wuthering Heights, was disliked at first but later became highly respected. Anne's first novel did not sell well, but her second novel did. How did three sisters from the same family all become published writers? Their childhood might have had something to do with it. When Charlotte and Emily were young girls, they made up stories about an imaginary land called Angria. They filled notebooks with stories about Angria. When Anne was old enough, she joined in. It could be that their early years helped the girls to develop their creativity and storytelling abilities.
The Brontë sisters' childhood storytelling may have helped their future writing careers.
