PARAGRAPH 7:
The Ghost Town
7 Today, Centralia is an eerie ghost town. The wafting smoke and shifting soil are too dangerous for most to brave. The detour signs on Route 61 give no indication of the troubles in Centralia; most cars just veer around the smoldering town. But for those who are fascinated by the fire, Centralia has become a sort of mecca. Tourists come to stare at the devastated landscape, and conspiracy theorists gather to share their outlandish ideas. Of the visitors, the researchers are the most hopeful. They study Centralia's soil, plants, and animals, and they believe that the effects of the fire will shed light upon the processes that created this planet. Though a terrible tragedy, the Centralia fire may someday lead to breakthroughs in science and technology.
QUESTION:
What is the central idea of paragraph 7?
A.
Because of the lack of signs, many are unaware of the impact of the fire.
B.
Because of the fire, Centralia has seen a boost in tourism and scientific research.
C.
The population of Centralia has dropped significantly since the fire started.
D.
As a result of the conspiracies, many people do not believe the fire was real.

Should protesting against the United States government be considered an act of terrorism?
Answer:
YES
Explanation:
Its an act to be violent and no one should tolerate it
Answer:
Protests are meant to be peaceful, and they are different from riots. Protesting for a change against the government should not be considered an act of terrorism, as it is even stated in the constitution that people have a right to speak up for a change. Riots should be considered an act of terrorism, as they cause harm to the innocent people that are targeted within those groups of people. A protest is meant to be a peaceful way to settle a matter, therefore I do not think they should be considered an act of terrorism.
However, if people claim to be protesting, and harming people along the way, this should be concluded as a riot and taken care of. Protests should be monitored to ensure that nothing gets out of hand, as some people take these names for granted.

How have Ponyboy’s feelings for Darry changed since the beginning of the story? Why? Use examples
Answer:
At the beginning of the novel, Ponyboy resents Darry for being too strict and always bothering him for not using his head. He recognizes the sacrifices that Darry has made to raise his two little brothers, but still thinks Darry just doesn't care for him at all.
But in Chapter 5, when Soda and Darry come to the hospital, Ponyboy has a revelation. He sees his oldest brother cry for the first time in years - he didn't even cry at their parents' funeral - and realizes that "Darry did care about me, maybe as much as he cared about Soda, and because he cared he was trying too hard to make something of me." He understands that Darry is terrified of losing another person he loves, and wonders "how I could ever have thought him hard and unfeeling."
In Chapter 10, when Ponyboy wakes up momentarily, he asks Soda if Darry is sorry he's sick. He also worries throughout the chapter that maybe he didn't ask for Darry while he was delirious, but Soda finally confirms that he did. This concern for Darry's feelings is a huge change from the way Ponyboy regarded his oldest brother in the beginning of the novel. Now he is worried that, because deep down he feels he can relate better to Soda, he might have left Darry out in his unconscious babbling.

Read the following excerpt from Alfred Noyes’s narrative poem "The Highwayman." Which three literary elements do these stanzas contain?
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding—
Riding—riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh.
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard.
He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

What does Oedipus say that he still fears, after hearing the news of Polybus' death?Required to answer. Single choice.Immersive Reader (1 Point) the plague on the land wedding his mother the wrath of Apollo Creon's treachery
Answer:
Wedding his mother.
Explanation:
The play "Oedipus the King" by Sophocles revolves around the story of Oedipus and his rise to becoming the king of Corinth. At the same time, it also delves into the conflict in him, with the prophecy that he will kill his father and sleep with his mother.
When the messenger came from Corinth to deliver the news of King Polybus's death to Oedipus, the news was met with happiness and elation. This was because the prophecy that he will bring about the death of his father has been proven to be false, for, at the time of Polybus's death, he (Oedipus) was far away from Corinth. This shows how life is all about chances and not about prophecies. But he still feared the feeling that prophesied that he will sleep/ marry his mother.
