Answer:
B. Had great value
Explanation:
The words that are underlined in sentence 2 are were really cool. This type of language, which we usually use in everyday conversations with our friends, isn't used in informational texts, i.e. texts that give us information about a certain topic. Instead, we should use more formal language. The best substitute would be the words had great value.
Option A is incorrect because it also contains informal language (totally useful - very useful would be better).
Option C also isn't formal enough (had a ton of uses - had many uses is a better version).
Option D is incorrect because the given combination of words isn't correct. Something can't be way important. It can just be very important.
This is why option B is correct.

Should graffiti be illegal, yes or no? Give reasons or evidence to support your claim.
Answer:
I do believe graffiti should be illegal.
Explanation:
The official definition of graffiti is, "writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place". Meaning that graffiti is a form of vandalism. And because vandalism is illegal, I don't think any other forms of it should be considered 'ok'. That is my opinion on the subject. Note my 'opinion'.
Answer:
Graffiti that hasn't been approved should be illegal. It cost money to get the graffiti covered or removed. It is considered vandalism anyway when someone pains or draws on someone else property without their approval. So, yes, graffiti should be illegal IF it hasn't been approved by the county or the owners or county area etc.

Answer:
A. The names of the winning couple are announced—Ryan and Cora. Cora cries tears of joy. --> 5. resolution
B. The crowd cheers the couples on the dance floor. Ryan and Cora are dancing well, but Cora feels stabs of pain. Still, she is determined not to let Ryan down. --> 3. climax

Explanation:
Exposition is the very beginning a story, where the author introduces the characters, the setting and other elements or pieces of information that will contextualize the story.
Rising action takes place after the introduction, the exposition. It is usually an event in a plot that creates the condition for conflicts to appear.
Climax is the moment of most tension in the plot, when the biggest conflict needs to be solved by the main characters.
Falling action is the opposite of rising action, taking place after the climax and being characterized by a decrease in tension. We can already see where things are going to end.
Finally, resolution is the conclusion of the story, its closing.
Let's put each part of the story in its correct place so that you can see how the plot unfolds according to the explanation above:
C. Ryan and Cora walk to the school gym. They are ready to compete in the dance contest. --> 1. exposition

How are the Novel and Movie different from each other in The Boy in The Striped Pajamas?
Answer:well in the movie it leaves out some parts that are in the novel pleas tell me if I need to be more specific
Explanation:
There are two major differences, the ending and the POV of the stories.
In the book, everything is told from Bruno’s perspective and he really knows nothing about the horrors of the camps and the Holocaust. In the movie, its told by a 3rd person POV.
In the ending of the book, no one knows what happened to Bruno. Elsa and Gretel head home but weeks later they find Bruno’s clothes near the camp. In the movie, Gretel and Elsa have a huge search through the camp to try and find Bruno. At the end they find his clothes and a hole dug under the fence, that’s how they found out he died.
There were a lot of other changes. One was, in the movie Lieutenant Kotler was sent away because Brunos dad found out his father fled the country at the start of the war, making him potential unfaithful to the Nazis. In the book, it was implied that Elsa was having an affair with Kotler. Bruno’s dad found out about the affair and sent him away.

How does the author’s use of figurative language contribute to creating suspense in the story in the following sentence?
“The air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheek.” (8LA.A.4)
A.
The author uses personification and a simile to provide sensory details of the scene.
B.
The author uses personification to bring emotion to the scene.
C.
The author uses a simile to create a light - hearted tone on a wintry day.
D.
The author uses personification and a simile to provide emphasis to the conflict.
Which sentence BEST helps create a suspicious mood?(8LA.A.4)
A.
“Just hang it there,” she said, “and let me help you with your coat.”
B.
"someone … who is just exactly right”, "Like you."
C.
Animals were usually a good sign in a place like this.
D.
On the other hand, a pub would be more congenial than a boarding-house.
Answer
1. A
2. B
Explanation
I picked the answer A because in the sentence “The air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheek.” it included a simile which is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox ), and in the sentence there was a word that shows there is a simile, which is "like a flat blade or ice" and there was also personification which was "The air was deadly cold". I picked answer B because the statement "someone … who is just exactly right”, "Like you." seems supicous in my eyes.
The author’s use of figurative language contributes to creating suspense in the story in the following sentence. The author uses personification and a simile to provide sensory details of the scene. The correct option is A.
What is the impact of figurative language in poetry?A figurative language is a tool used by poets and writers to enhance imagery and strengthen sentences. Similes, metaphors, and a variety of other non-literal language techniques aid in making unfamiliar things understandable and familiar.
In this sentence, the author uses personification to describe the air as "deadly cold" and the wind as a "flat blade of ice." This personification gives human qualities to the air and wind and creates a sense of danger and foreboding.
Additionally, the simile "like a flat blade of ice on his cheek" adds to the sensory details of the scene, emphasizing the extreme coldness and discomfort the character is experiencing. These details contribute to the overall suspense of the story by setting a tense and unsettling atmosphere.
Thus, the ideal selection is option A.
