Explanation:
Recently, in a large American city, a man was convicted of manslaughter because he ran a red light, hit another car, and killed the driver. The judge sentenced him to five years' probation and ordered him to pay during each of those years into a trust fund for the dead man's child. Since the convicted man has two small children, the payments will be a strain. If he had been sent to prison, however, his family would suffer more because he would have no salary. The victim's family would not have benefited, either.

I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

Answer:

Explanation:
Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.
Driving around the parks that encircle Washington, he solicited customers with a simple pitch: early in the morning, he would deliver some bagels and a cash basket to company’s snack room; he would return before lunch to pick up the money and the leftovers. It was an honor-system commerce scheme, and it worked. Within a few years, Feldman was delivering 8,400 bagels a week to 140 companies and earning as much as he had ever made as a research analyst. He had thrown off the shackles of cubicle life and made himself happy.
Based on the excerpt, which statement best strengthens Feldman’s claim that people are mostly honest?
A) Feldman solicited customers with a simple pitch.
B)Feldman’s payment system was largely successful.
C)Feldman earned a good living delivering bagels.
D)Feldman found a new career and made himself happy.
Answer: B)Feldman’s payment system was largely successful.
Explanation:
Feldman was earning much more than he did as a research analyst which means that he was earning a lot of money from this business which further means that his payment system was largely successful.
This means that people are mostly honest because his payment system was based on honesty in that he simply left the cash basket there and people could either have not paid or could have taken money from the basket but they didn't(at least not significantly) which could only happen if people were honest.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
. . . people waiting for the train were drinking. He drank an Anis at the bar and looked at the people. They were all waiting reasonably for the train.
Based on the passage above, what is the best synonym for reasonably?
purposely
drunkenly
longingly
sensibly
Answer:
Based on the passage above, the best synonym for reasonably seems to be:
D. sensibly
Explanation:
The narrator of the excerpt says the people who were waiting for the train were also drinking. Then he says they were "waiting reasonably for the train." What he means here is that people found an intelligent way to wait for the train's arrival. Instead of simply standing at the platform, doing nothing, they found a sensible manner to spend their time.
For that reason, the best synonym for "reasonably" seems to be "sensibly". As a matter of fact, both adverbs can generally indicate similar meanings. "Reasonably" refers to an action done with good reason. "Sensibly" refers to an action done with good sense or in an intelligent, reasonable way.

sensibly

Why do you think Charles does not tell his parents about the boy’s threat ?
The flounder is a type of marine flatfish. Flounders lurk on the ocean floor to ambush smaller fish and other prey. When flounders are born, their eyes are located on each side of the head, but as the flounder grows, one of its eyes migrates to the other side so that both eyes are on the same side of its body. As the fish lies on the seafloor, both eyes look upward, alert for prey or predators. To protect itself, the flounder also uses camouflage, changing its color to match its surroundings. For example, the flounder appears a dull, spotted color when lying on the seafloor but turns almost transparent when swimming near the surface. What is the purpose of the underlined sentence?

essay on party you have recently attended
Answer:
A sample essay on birthday celebration of my friend.
Last week, it was my best friend’s birthday. So we all planned a nice birthday party. He asked all of us to come to his house three days before his birthday. It was supposed to be a small tea-party with a few friends and family members. As he is the eldest in the family, he asked me to come and help him with the preparations. A day before, we went to the market and brought the necessary decoration articles. We decided for a few minutes on the food and other things with my friend’s father. We also ordered for the cake from the bakery his father asked us to.
We both were really excited, as my friend was turning 16 this year. I decided to go straight at his place after school to help him with the decorations. I had already kept my clothes there, so dressing up was no problem. Both Uncle and Aunty are working, so they too were very glad and relieved with me there to help their son prepare for his birthday party.
One our way back home from school, we collected the cake and the eatables that we had ordered the day before. Then we hurried back home. We quickly had our lunch and headed for the drawing-room. We changed the table-cloth, cleaned the room and started with the decorations.
We decorated the ceiling with paper buntings, bells and stars. We below balloons and hung them all over. Doing that was great fun as some of the balloons bursted while blowing and others refused to stick to the wall. For our siblings, we had kept a few birthday caps. While I was blowing the balloons my friend quickly wrapped the return-gifts. We placed floating candles on the table where the cake would be kept and then put an extra table to keep the eatables.
Next we spread out the disposable cups, glasses and plates. The snacks were laid out in the dishes. The sweets and the samosas were kept in the kitchen along with the chutney. The wafers were kept on the table itself. Cold drinks were kept in the refrigerator. Almost everything was ready by 3:30 p.m.
The party had to start at 4p.m my friend’s mother had also returned by then. She was very happy to see our work and asked us not to worry about the gulab-jamuns and samosas. She would serve them hot from the microwave.
Lastly, we placed a few extra chairs and dressed up quickly. The friends started pouring in as the time neared. By 4:20 p.m., all had reached. We decided to play a few games first so that by then Uncle could also return from his office and be there with us as the cake was cut. We played housie and musical chairs. It was a great fun. The winners were given small prizes too. All were glad and seemed to enjoy.
By 5:30 p.m., my friend’s father had also returned back. So at 5:45 p.m., we had the cutting of the cake amidst a lot of clappings and singing of the birthday song. Aunty had brought in the cake beautifully placed in a lovely platter and the knife too had a bow tied to it. My friend proudly blew out the 17 candles, made a wish and cut the cake. He then gave the first piece to his parents and then the cake was served to all the guests present. The gifts too were given at this time. Uncle was busy clicking the photographs and the cake looked beautiful with the floating candles, fresh flowers and soft music.
The snacks were served after this. Aunty brought in the hot and relishing samosas and gulab-jamuns. I helped Aunty to serve the eatables in the paper-plates. Meanwhile my friend and his younger brother served cold drinks in the glasses. Another of the friend put in some nice dancing music. We all ate with great joy and later on danced till we all could stand no more. It seemed we had rocked the entire colony. We also served toffees to the younger brothers and sisters of our friends. They too had great fun. At around 6:30 pm, we all decided to leave. We thanked my friend and his parents for a wonderful birthday party and went back home, all contended and glad.
please give me brainliest. Thank you!
