3. California is such a horrible place to live. It is hot and right next to the ocean, which means its an obnoxious balance between hot and a fishy smell. It also has many attractions and theme parks that can make it even more annoying and expensive to stay in the humid state.
4. In the first sentences, it describes and in a way, coaxes people to look more into the subject. In the negative version, it is dialing down the enthusiasm, and not amping up everything that the state has to offer. In the last one, it is telling you that its not a great place to live because its hot and pricing is expensive.

the correct answer is a
Explanation:
Read the following passage and answer the question that follows: (1) One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. (2) "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. (3) Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense," he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. What main conflict is revealed so far in this story? Gregor does not enjoy his job. Gregor is having disturbing dreams. Gregor has transformed into a bug. Gregor cannot sleep.
Answer:
Gregor has transformed into a bug.
Explanation:
The passage describes Gregor Samsa as a "horrible vermin", with a brown belly with many legs, which sounds like a cockroach. It is true that he tries to sleep in hopes that his transformation was simply a dream, but the thing stopping sleep from coming is that he has become a bug.
Hope this helps!
Answer: Gregor has transformed into a bug!
Explanation: Imagine a cricket, a beetle or a cockroach and see if the description fits. Gregor is no longer in human form. It will pose some problems with his relationships.

What does America mean to you?
Answer:
To me, being an American citizen is being free. Being an American means that you can make your own decisions about where you want to live, where you would like to work, who you'd like to marry etc. It means being brave, being proud of this Country, and being confident that we will succeed.
Answer: What America means to me is to have rights, a chance to be yourself, do the job that we want, and travel to where we want to go. You do not have all of these things in different countries.
I have the right to go to school where I choose. I can also go to whatever church I want. I also have the right to say or write what I want others to know as long as it is not hurtful.
America is a democracy. We can vote for our leaders like the President. We live by the constitution that gives us the rights we have.
In America everyone is equal, you can be yourself. Race, religion, gender or age doesn’t matter. Having rights makes our country better than others. Because we have choices we are lucky to live in America. This is why I like America.
rom Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love: Which of the following choices best explains why the author cannot say for certain how romantic love affects levels of serotonin in the brain? Question 19 options: a) There has not been a purely neurological study examining the relationship between the two. b) Some evidence suggests that romantic love increases serotonin and other evidence suggests it decreases serotonin. c) Serotonin does not have strong effects on the brain compared to dopamine and norepinephrine. d) There is a possibility that study subjects were not actually in love, but rather just suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Answer:
its b
Explanation:
The reason we love is given the best in option (b): "Some evidence suggests that romantic love increases serotonin and other evidence suggests it decreases serotonin."
What stimulates the brain to love?Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine levels rise during emotional states, which increases the activity of brain circuits dependent on these neurotransmitters.
The release of dopamine and serotonin affects how we feel. Human sensations and coordination are aided by dopamine. The excitation state is strong with very high dopamine levels, and this is a brain function. Dopamine can exacerbate anxiety in a different brain function.
Because of this, emotions raise the levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in the brain, which increases the activity of the brain circuits that rely on these neurotransmitters.
Therefore, these are the neurotransmitters that stimulate the brain towards feelings. So, option (B) is the correct answer.

What is the difference between reading a book for entertainment versus reading a
book as protest literature? In what way could a simple book change the world? How does it do it
exactly for you? How did Spiegelman’s book and Urrea’s book do this for you?
Answer:
Protest Literature is a text that protests society. But, when you think about it, is literature divided into protest type literature OR is it is a way that someone artistically expressed themselves? People put their emotion, values, and things that they are concerned about into literature every day that they want you to read. Is it protest to portray your point of view on a given subject? You desire change. Society needs to change. Why not write what you believe and encourage others to see what your point of view is?
Spiegelman had a nervous breakdown. He decided to unload on the world with his comic about his parent's Holocaust experience. His father was a survivor of Auschwitz. He wanted to change the comic book world. He was a graphic novelist!
Urrea's book was non fiction too. He wrote about the deaths of 14 Mexicans attempting to cross into the US.
I think that if you have the opportunity to compare and contrast, I would focus on the fact that these people who suffered were all immigrants. Both stories are about hope and death. Both stories show that there is a need for change. Write about Bias against these people and discuss how the bodies of each of the groups of people discussed in each story were horrendous and awful for a human to experience.
Hope this helps.
Explanation:
When I read about the Holocaust, I do not do it for pleasure. When I read about illegal immigrants and children being stuck in pens, I do not read it for pleasure. I read it to learn how I can be a game changer in our world. How can I change the way the things were done this and how can we finally have peace?

“Sonnet 73:” Which of these inferences is best supported by the passage below? “In me thou seest the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.” Question 28 options: a) The narrator feels his life is slowly draining away. b) The narrator feels he has wasted his life and has deep and terrible regrets. c) When the narrator dies he wants to be cremated. d) The narrator believes he is immortal.
The correct answer is A) The narrator feels his life is slowly draining away.
Explanation:
In this poem, the author refers to the twilight or end of daylight and compares this to the end of life and death, this is mentioned in "by black night doth take away, Death’s second self". Also, by stating "In me, thou seest the twilight " the author indirectly suggests the end of the day or the end of life is approaching. According to this, one inference or guess supported by the passage is "The narrator feels his life is slowly draining away" because the narrator directly explains death is close and this means, his life is ending.

When comparing ancient Greece and ancient Rome, one can see that there are many difference including geography, governance, position of women, economy and art.
Though these countries are Mediterranean countries, they differ in their terrain. The cities in Ancient Greece were separated by hilly countryside. All the cities were near to water bodies. Rome was an inland country and situated on the banks of River Tiber.
Now talking of art and culture of Greece and Rome, Greek art was considered to be superior to that of Roman Art. One of the sculptors that Greece is widely associated with is Venus de Milo. Romans were good at mosaic or wall painting. The Romans were known for producing realistic portraits.
In terms of economy, the basis of both ancient Greece and ancient Rome was agriculture. Greeks lived on small wheat producing farms but had poor days because of improper agriculture practises. Â Romans had turned towards estates, producing olive oil and wine.
There was also a big difference in the division of social classes of both ancient Greece and ancient Rome. In Greece, the society was divided into slaves, freedmen, metics, citizens and women.
Rome had slaves, freedmen, plebeians and patricians. When women were not considered to be citizens in ancient Greece, they were citizens in ancient Rome. There was also division as per the wealth in both the societies.
The family head in the  Roman household was the Paterfamilias. This means that even if a son has his own family, his father will be the head of the entire family. But in Greece, the sons were considered to be the legal heir to their fathers.

Answer:
B. The people on the shore ignore Icarus falling into the water.
Explanation:
The myth of "Icarus and Daedalus" by Ovid tells the story of a captive father Daedalus, an inventor inventing ways for him and his son Icarus to escape from their captivity on an island. But in the heat of the moment, the young son went too near to the sun which melted the wax in his wings and eventually led him to drown in the sea below.
W. H. Auden's poem "Musée des Beaux Arts" also recounts the moment Icarus drowned. But what the short poem details is somewhat a bit different from the mythical story in that Auden describes the people nearby the sea, completely ignorant or indifferent to the drowning boy's plight.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
