Read this sentence from “Miracle on Ice.”
As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was seeded seventh out of twelve teams.
Based on the context of this sentence, what does the word seeded mean?
A ranked
B planted
C helped
D developed
Answer:
A ranked
Explanation:
''As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was seeded seventh out of twelve teams.''
If you replace the word ''seeded'' with developed, helped, planted. It doesn't make sense.
''As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was RANKED seventh out of twelve teams.''
Read the following passage from Heywood Broun’s The Fifty-First Dragon to answer questions 6-10.
OF all the pupils at the knight school Gawaine le Cur-Hardy was among the least promising. He was tall and sturdy, but his instructors soon discovered that he lacked spirit. He would hide in the woods when the jousting class was called, although his companions and members of the faculty sought to appeal to his better nature by shouting to him to come out and break his neck like a man. Even when they told him that the lances were padded, the horses no more than ponies and the field unusually soft for late autumn, Gawaine refused to grow enthusiastic. The Headmaster and the Assistant Professor of Pleasaunce were discussing the case one spring afternoon and the Assistant Professor could see no remedy but expulsion.
“No,” said the Headmaster, as he looked out at the purple hills which ringed the school, “I think I’ll train him to slay dragons.”
“He might be killed,” objected the Assistant Professor.
“So he might,” replied the Headmaster brightly, but he added, more soberly, “we must consider the greater good. We are responsible for the formation of this lad’s character.”
“Are the dragons particularly bad this year?” interrupted the Assistant Professor. This was characteristic. He always seemed restive when the head of the school began to talk ethics and the ideals of the institution.
“I’ve never known them worse,” replied the Headmaster. “Up in the hills to the south last week they killed a number of peasants, two cows and a prize pig. And if this dry spell holds there’s no telling when they may start a forest fire simply by breathing around indiscriminately.”
“Would any refund on the tuition fee be necessary in case of an accident to young Cur-Hardy?”
“No,” the principal answered, judicially, “that’s all covered in the contract. But as a matter of fact he won’t be killed. Before I send him up in the hills I’m going to give him a magic word.”
“That’s a good idea,” said the Professor. “Sometimes they work wonders.”
6. What is this passage about?
The problems that may arise from fighting dragons
How the educators would change Gawaine’s course of study
The way the Professor and the Headmaster taught about dragons

How did Billy's father-in-law die? (Slaughterhouse)
Answer:
Airplane crash.
Explanation:
Billy knows the airplane will crash, but he says nothing. The passengers are entertained by a barbershop quartet. The group sings lewd, racist songs to entertain Billy's father-in-law. When the plane crashes into Sugarbush Mountain, Vermont, everyone is killed except Billy and the copilot.
Answer:
Moments after he predicts his own death and closes his speech with the words “Farewell, hello, farewell, hello,” Billy is killed by an assassin's high-powered laser gun. He experiences the violet nothingness of death, and then he swings back into life and to early 1945.

Answer: I find drawing really enjoyable a lot. When I draw, it just takes my mind off of the bad stuff and helps me cool down. When we draw, we can think of lots and lots of creative ideas and maybe show it to others! Also, drawing can help us get better with our emotions, inspire us, or possibly tell stories! Another advantage of drawing is increasing our memories. For example, if you had an upcoming test, exam, etc, you can draw your notes or answers in some sort of form you like, to help remember it.

Which words from paragraph 8 help readers understand the meaning of the word disarray?
.Answer choices for the above question
building supplies
electric tools
out of plywood
scattered about
Scene 1
[Lights up at a large home improvement store. Dad and Will are loading up on wood, nails, paint, and more. ]
DAD: Plywood, two-by-fours, paint, shingles for the roof, carpeting. ...What else do we need?
WILL: We need stuff to make it weatherproof, and some kind of insulation. And landscaping material.
DAD: Will, there’s no need to landscape. No one’s going to see it behind the house.
WILL: They’ll see it, Dad. It’s their new home—their first home—and it should look good when they get here. They need bushes and grass just like everyone else—more than everyone else. This has to be perfect or they won’t be allowed to live with us.
DAD: Okay, grass and bushes, but later. We have to build this thing first. [He shakes his head in disbelief, but smiles. ]I knew that fostering would be hard work, but this is a ton of effort. Who knew that a couple of little ones would need so much room?
WILL: They can be in the family room with us most of the time, but they need their own space, too. Just like me and Davis. Hey—we need paintbrushes. Davis destroyed ours when he made that volcano for school. [They exit left, happily, as the lights go down. ]
Scene 2
[Lights up in a backyard. The building supplies now litter the stage: sawhorses, electric tools, hammers, and an overflowing toolbox. Will and Dad have built a number of large, flat, square shapes out of plywood. The shapes are scattered about in disarray. ]
WILL: But you said you wanted pliers, Dad—
DAD: Long-nosed pliers, Will. I need to hold this little pin, and I can’t get my fingers in the—
WILL: Here they are—but you could use a screwdriver—
DAD: Got it! Okay, so why don’t we put the floor here? We have to put that in place before we build the walls.
[They carry and then set down a flat piece that has short legs on each corner, making a platform. ]
DAD: Perfect. Now for the walls.
WILL: Are you sure we’re doing this right?
DAD: Pretty sure. [Dad drags another heavy, flat piece of plywood, grunting as he moves it. ]Once we attach the walls, all we have to do is the roof. Pshew. Will—help me with this. You have to hold it upright.
[Dad works to secure the wall. ]
DAD: Great! Only three more and a roof left to go. We have to hustle, though. The little ones are coming home in only a few hours. Will, this is a lot of responsibility, being a foster family. You and your brother will have to step up to the plate and help take care of these little guys. Are you sure you and Davis are ready for this?
WILL: Of course. It was our idea, Dad, remember? We’ll help feed them and bathe them and teach them everything. It’ll be fine .
DAD: Okay. Hand me a new drill bit—I broke the last one in this first wall. No, not those, the thinner ones. No, not those. ...
[They continue to struggle with the building as the lights go down. ]
Scene 3
[Lights up as Dad and Will stand center stage, close together to block the sight of their finished project. Will yells and waves to Mom and Davis offstage right. ]
WILL: We’re back here!
DAVIS: [He enters, leading a large, curly-haired dog. ]Wait until you see them—I love them already! They couldn’t wait to come home and—you built them a doghouse!
WILL: ta-DA! [Will reveals the doghouse. ]
DAVIS: That’s awesome!
MOM: Here they are! [Mom enters with a large box, the top open. She sets it down carefully. ]Now, remember, the puppies are here only until they get adopted into forever homes. As foster parents, we have to teach them how to be good dogs and then say goodbye to them when the time comes.
WILL: [Lifting out a puppy. ]Come see your new home! [Pauses and looks at the doghouse. ]Uh, Dad? We forgot to make a door!!
[Lights out. ]

The story "Hans in Luck" by the Brothers Grimm revolves around the main character's personality. The character Hans easily believes what others tell him. That means Hans is a gullible person. Which line in this excerpt from the story supports the idea that Hans is gullible?
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. The excerpt is as follows:
Seven long years he had worked hard for his master. At last he said, "Master, my time is up; I must go home and see my poor mother once
more: so pray pay me my wages and let me go." And the master said, "You have been a faithful and good servant, Hans, so your pay shall be handsome." Then he gave him a lump of silver as big as his head.
Hans took out his pocket-handkerchief, put the piece of silver into it, threw it over his shoulder, and jogged off on his road homewards. As he went lazily on, dragging one foot after another, a man came in sight, trotting gaily along on a capital horse.
"Ahl" said Hans aloud, "what a fine thing it is to ride on horseback! There he sits as easy and happy as if he was at home, in the chair by his fireside; he trips against no stones, saves shoe-leather, and gets on he hardly knows how."
Hans did not speak so softly but the horseman heard it all, and said, "Well, friend, why do you go on foot then?"
“Ah!" said he. "I have this load to carry: to be sure it is silver, but it is so heavy that I can't hold up my head, and you must know it hurts my shoulder sadly."
"What do you say of making an exchange?" said the horseman. “I will give you my horse, and you shall give me the silver, which will save you a great deal of trouble in carrying such a heavy load about with you."
"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you."
However, the horseman got off, took the silver, helped Hans up, gave him the bridle into one hand and the whip into the other, and said,
"When you want to go very fast, smack your lips loudly together, and cry Jip!"
Answer:
The line that supports the idea that Hans is gullible is:
"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you."
Explanation:
A gullible person is someone who can be easily persuaded to believe something. In the excerpt above, we can see that Hans is a gullible man. He does not see through the man's kind words. He does not realize that the man knows very well the silver is much more valuable than the horse. Hans believes in the man's kindness and is even sorry that the man will have to carry such a heavy piece of silver with him after giving Hans his horse. The line that supports that idea is:
"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you."

Give two examples of how we have learned about Greek myths that are thousands of years old.
Explanation:
One of the hidden benefits of studying Greek myths is to explore virtues. With the classic stories, the lines between righteous and immoral behavior are clear cut, so that even young children can recognize examples of the 4 cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance.
Myth of the legendary Odysseus. ...
Myth of Jason and the Argonauts. ...
Myth of Theseus, the legendary king of Athens. ...
The Amazons. ...
Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld. ...
Prometheus, the friend of man. ...
Myth of the fall of Icarus. ...
Perseus and Andromeda.
As others have said, according to Hesiod the oldest one that existed was Chaos, and then Earth came to be. According to Orpheus though, originally there was an Egg out of which the Universe came, but before the Universe, Eros (Love) came out of it, making Love the oldest one.
The good boy behaved well.(underline the adverb in the sentense)
Answer:
well
Explanation:
Well is the adverb in this example. Well is the adverb for good, the word good is an adjective.
The good boy behaved well.
In English language, an adverb can be defined as a word that is used to modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb in a sentence. Some examples are slowly, quickly, brightly, sadly, promptly, etc.
Additionally, there are six (6) main types of adverbs and these includes;
I. Adverb of time.
II. Adverb of frequency.
III. Adverb of place.
IV. Adverb of manner.
V. Adverb of reason.
VI. Adverb of intensity.
In this scenario, the adverb "well" is used to modify the action (a verb) of the boy, which is his behavior. Thus, it was used to describe the degree or extent to which the boy's behavior was.
In conclusion, well is an example of an adverb of intensity which describes the degree of an action or something.
