Answer 2

Answer:

(A) Now Owen understood exactly what it was like to be in George’s shoes.

Explanation:

This statement distorts what the life of George is like; making it appear to be great all the time. The distortion does not take into account the pressure of the high expectations and disappointment George would feel when he does not win the game. Owen thinks and feels that he knows exactly how it is to be in George's shoes--from just this one event. This is the distortion.

What is the connection between the railroad and rivers in South Africa? Railroads were built to be parallel to the rivers. The railroads were built by moving supplies inland by riverboats. Like the rivers, South Africa’s train networks are small and seasonal. Because the rivers are so small, people must travel by train.

Answers

Answer: Because the rivers are so small, people must travel by train.

Explanation:

South Africa's rivers are quite seasonal to such a point that in rainy season the rivers seem like great rivers with quite a number of tributaries but as soon as the dry season comes, the rivers became so small that a significant portion of them devolve into mud pools.

For this reason, travel and exploration was limited in South Africa as river transport was a convenient way to do both. The country therefore was forced to rely on trains to foster inland exploration and travel.

symbolism about verity in code name verity

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Planes are symbolic of Maddie’s abilities and the heights (metaphorical and literal) that she is able to reach when she is not held back by gender stereotypes. Maddie’s affinity with planes changes her life in many ways beginning with the chance to learn how to fix their engines and train for her pilot’s license through her connections with Dympna Wythenshawe. These experiences ensure that Maddie is able to do all sorts of things that women were not supposed to be involved with during the war including flying Queenie to France and becoming involved with the efforts of the French resistance.

Which sentence indicates the main idea of this diary entry? Nov 3, 2014 Dad woke me up early today.


When I came out of my room, I saw Chris heading to the garage with Dad and Mom packing some clothes in a backpack. She told me to finish my breakfast quickly. Dad warned me that if we were late, we would have to miss out on all the big rides. That's when I realized what was happening. We were supposed to go to the amusement park today. The park was a two-hour drive from our home. When we got there, it was already crowded, which annoyed my father. I wanted to go on the Dark Tunnel ride first. Every guy in my class had gone on the ride. But Chris said that we should keep it for last. I had a lot of fun for the rest of the day. There was this big pool with a machine that created artificial waves. Then there was the Cliffhanger, which Mom didn't allow me to go on. But it was priceless to see Chris's face when he got off the ride. At the end, we went back to the Dark Tunnel ride. Chris was right for once. The tunnel ride was scarier after sunset. When we got back home, everyone was tired—everyone except me. I could still feel the rush from the roller coaster ride. I hope we have trips like these more often.

McGonigal chooses to use the words scarcity, famine, and abstain. What do these words have in common, and why might McGonigal have selected them? Use context clues or a dictionary for help if needed.

Answers

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

When Atys was king of Lydia in Asia Minor some three thousand years ago, a great scarcity threatened his realm. For a while people accepted their lot without complaining, in the hope that times of plenty would return. But when things failed to get better, the Lydians devised a strange remedy for their problem. The plan adopted against the famine was to engage in games one day so entirely as not to feel any craving for food … and the next day to eat and abstain from games. In this way they passed eighteen years, and along the way they invented the dice, knuckle-bones, the ball, and all the games which are common.  

McGonigal chooses to use the words scarcity, famine, and abstain. What do these words have in common, and why might McGonigal have selected them? Use context clues or a dictionary for help if needed.

Answer:

The words have in common the sense of limitation and discomfort, moreover, within the situation that McGonigal narrated these words are the results of the actions that each one promoted.

Explanation:

Within the text narrated by McGonigal, we can see that the words "scarcity", "famine" and "abstain" are established in a cause and consequence relationship, where one is the result of the action of the other. In addition, the three words feel limited and uncomfortable.

This is because due to food shortages, the natives decided to establish a strategy to reduce the hunger they felt. For that, they spent a whole day playing, to occupy their minds and avoid thinking about food, the next day they ate and abstained from the game.

Which excerpt from “Seventh Grade” shows a moment when Mr. Bueller acts in a way that is different from what Victor expects? Mr. Bueller said that is the students studied hard, at the end of the year they could go to France and be understood by the populace. Mr. Bueller asked if anyone knew French. Victor raised his hand, wanting to impress Teresa. The teacher beamed and said, “Trés bien. Parlez-vous francais?” Mr. Bueller looked at Victor, and Victor looked back. Oh please, don’t say anything, Victor pleaded with his eyes. Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work.

Answers

Answer:

Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work.

Explanation:

Gary Sato's short story "Seventh Grade" is set in a school with the main protagonist Victor wanting to impress a girl named Teresa. In a typical story of a boy trying to impress a girl, Victor's emotional dilemma is something that resonates with all young people too.

Victor had pretended to know and be good in French just so that he can impress another student named Teresa and maybe even form a friendship/ relationship with her. So, while in the French class, he over-confidently responded to the teacher's questions. This made him seem like he is good in French. But in truth, he wasn't really knowledgeable about the language and that he had taken it just to be near her. So, when the teacher, Mr. Bueller knew the mistake, Victor was scared that he might tell everyone in the class and he'd be left embarrassed. But contrary to his thought, Mr. Bueller only "shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work." This shows the French language teacher ignoring the reality and instead acted in a supportive way for Victor, something that Victor didn't expect.

Answer:

Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work.

Explanation:

D is the right answer, Because Victor was expecting Mr. Bueller so say something, but he did not, so that was different then what Victor expected.

"Sandy and Thomas " is an example of a ____________ subject. A. compound B. clause C. simple D. conjunction E.cause and effect

Answers

Answer:

"Sandy and Thomas " is an example of a compound subject. (letter A. compound)

Explanation:

We can define subject as the topic of a sentence - what the sentence is about. For instance, the sentence below has "I" as its subject.

- I drove all day yesterday.

When a sentence has two or more subjects, we have a compound subject. This type of subject is connected by "and" or "or", and it can present commas in case there are more than two subjects. The sentence below has an example of a compound subject:

- Sandy and Thomas have bought their plane tickets.

Does the text contain a vague pronoun reference? At the conference, the authors met with some publishers to discuss their new books.

Answers

Answer: Yes.

Explanation: The text, "At the conference, the authors met with some publishers to discuss their new books", contains a vague pronoun reference because the pronoun "their" is a plural pronoun and the way the text is written, the pronoun "their" could refer to both nouns "authors" and "publishers". Since the pronoun "their" could refer to both "authors" and "publishers", then the text contains a vague pronoun reference as it is not clear whether the pronoun refers to "authors" or "publishers".
