OB Above all, soldiers duties are to serve and protect their country.
C Soldiers should never question others or engage in politics.
D The only way to ensure global peace is through waging war.

Answer:

Explanation:

A

The best description of a central idea of the text is A. The human race is evolving beyond the need for petty fighting.

The central idea of the text might be discussing the need for global peace and offering reasons for the many needless fights and wars that human beings engage in.

Therefore, it does not see the reason for all the petty fighting that is going on among different human races.

Thus, the correct description of the central idea cannot be about the recognized duties and responsibilities of soldiers, nor is it to propose wars as means of achieving global peace.

Read this excerpt from "Four Types of Volcanoes"
I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST+20 POINTS
Volcanoes are structures formed around openings (vents) in the ground where molten lava, ash, or gas escape from inside the Earth. We have all heard of lava, but not everyone knows how it forms. Deep inside the Earth, rock that melted long ago beneath the Earth's crust forms magma, a very hot liquid that mixes with dissolved gases and crystals. When this magma flows up above Earth’s surface, it is called lava. Volcanoes can erupt continuously or only once in a while. They can erupt violently or slowly. As lava spews out of an opening, it lands, cools, and builds up hills or mountains around the vent. Therefore, volcanoes are usually found on top of hills or mountains.

What is the connection between magma and the hills or mountains around a volcano vent?

Magma that is underground pushes up against land from beneath it, so hills or mountains form over the magma.
Lava is part of magma, and it destroys the mountains and hills that are around a volcano vent.
Magma comes out of a volcano vent, becomes lava, and then cools and becomes part of the land around the vent.
Lava rises up above ground, cools into magma, and then fills the volcano vent so that a hill or mountain forms.

Rafael read the following information on the NASA website while researching for a report about the sun.
The sun is a star, a hot ball of glowing gases at the heart of our solar system. Its influence extends far beyond the orbits of distant Neptune and Pluto. Without the sun’s intense energy and heat, there would be no life on Earth. And though it is special to us, there are billions of stars like our sun scattered across the Milky Way galaxy. If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, the Earth would be the size of a U.S. nickel. The temperature at the sun’s core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.

1. The start of the American Revolution in 1775 presented Native American nations with difficult choices. Choose a side? Avoid the conflict entirely? Each nation had encountered different experiences with European settlers. A few colonial settlements and local Native communities managed to get along. But many Native nations had endured decades of cruelty and loss at the hands of the colonists. These nations resented the ever-increasing losses of land, rights, and life they had experienced since the arrival of the invaders.


2.When the war began, some nations were promised lands and safety by the British government in exchange for their loyalty. Some saw reason to help the Patriots. Other nations did not want to get involved with the war and tried to remain neutral


3.What united all Native nations at the start of the Revolution was the desire to preserve their rights and freedom. How they went about it varied greatly from group to group.

Sonnet XII

by William Shakespeare

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

Superhero 101: A Family Secret

Trace knew he would have to try to explain to his grandmother why he had missed her birthday party. He was dreading the conversation and the lie that he would inevitably have to tell. He thought telling her the truth would only open a Pandora’s box. He rang the doorbell, and his grandmother answered right away, like she had been waiting for him. He had called and told her he would try to come by sometime that day, but he had not given her a precise time.

She greeted him warmly, and he followed her into the kitchen where she had her customary jar of fresh-baked cookies ready for his indulgence. His grandmother was endearingly predictable. She had a daily routine and rarely deviated from it. Trace thought that given her lifestyle and penchant for routine and order, there was no way she would ever understand his life as Beetleman. He hated that he had no choice but to lie to his grandmother, whom he loved so much.

They sat at the kitchen table. His grandmother poured him an ice-cold glass of milk and filled a plate with her delicious chocolate chip cookies. Before he had a chance to apologize, his grandmother spoke. “Trace, I’m glad you called and came by today. I know you’re upset about missing my birthday party, but before you say anything about it, there is something I want to show you,” she said.

She went to a drawer and retrieved what appeared to be a large bracelet cuff made of silver. She handed it to Trace. He looked at it carefully. His grandmother moved his hands and pointed to something inscribed on the inside of the bracelet. “Look at this. It's what I wanted you to see,” she said as Trace read the words “Family First.” His heart sank when he read those words and recounted all the times that he had to sacrifice time with his family for his secret life.

His grandmother noticed his dejected expression. “Trace, I didn’t show you this to make you feel bad about your choices. I know that they aren’t always yours to make. This cuff belonged to your grandfather. He had those words inscribed because they are what kept him going and allowed him to make those same tough choices.”

Trace stared at this grandmother. What was she saying? His grandfather was a superhero too?

She continued, “Your grandfather loved helping people, just like you do. That’s where you got your gift—from him. Many times he had to miss family parties and outings because of his calling. But I always knew he did it for us—family first.”

Trace was astounded. He’d had no idea that his grandfather was a superhero; now he realized that he no longer had to lie to his grandmother. His parents had died when he was very young, and his grandparents had raised him. He recalled his grandfather missing his 10th birthday party and how upset and angry he had been at his grandfather. He had cried himself to sleep that night, wrongly thinking that he was not important to his grandfather.

Trace looked at the bracelet carefully, realizing that to him, it was as precious as the Hope diamond. He glanced up at his grandmother.

“His love for his family was his kryptonite,” his grandmother continued. “The only time he was weak was when you or I were in danger. He couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to us after what happened to your parents.”
In “Superhero 101: A Family Secret,” Trace misses his grandmother's birthday party and visits her to apologize.

How does this incident provoke Trace's grandmother to make a decision?


She shows Trace the bracelet and reveals that his grandfather was a superhero.

She insists that Trace follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and adopt his motto.

She wonders if Trace wants to continue to be a superhero like his grandfather.

She reveals the truth about his parents' deaths.
