Read the passage below, and identify its two central ideas. Then explain how each central idea is backed up by supporting details.

Passage
Having a pet is a great way to reduce stress, but the decision to care for a pet should not be taken lightly. Studies show that the simple act of petting an animal can decrease levels of stress-producing hormones in the body, which can help to lower blood pressure. Pet ownership also has psychological benefits, such as enhancing feelings of safety, independence, and control, which lead to a greater sense of relaxation. Pets make wonderful companions, but it's also important that owners ensure they have the ability to take care of their animals properly. Pets are often unable to care for themselves and must rely on their owners for food, shelter, and exercise. Owners should consider if they can properly provide a pet with these necessary things before bringing one home. Pets can be both a great joy and a big responsibility.

Ain’t I a Woman? By: Sojourner Truth
Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that ‘twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what’s all this here talking about?
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man—when I could get it—and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what’s this they call it? [member of audience whispers, “intellect”] That’s it, honey. What’s that got to do with women’s rights or negroes’ rights? If my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain’t got nothing more to say.

6. In the book, before marrying Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence tells Romeo: "These violent delights have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, / Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness / And in the taste confounds the appetite. / Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so. / Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow" (Act 2.6 pg. 1). Here, the word "violent" translates to "sudden". What does Friar Lawrence mean when he says this? What does this play on words also suggest (why use the word "violent")?​
