Answer:
The incorrect sentences and their corrected versions are below:
1. I've already been listening to Shakira's new CD. --> I've already listened to Shakira's new CD.
4. She's been going to five concerts this month. --> She went to five concerts this month. / She has gone to five concerts this month.
6. How many times have you been listening to that song? --> How many times have you listened to that song?
Explanation:
1. The sentence uses the present perfect continuous (have + been + verb -ing) for an action that is already over. Since we do not know exactly when the action took place, the best option is to use the present perfect (have + participle).
4. The sentence indicates a time when the action took place: this month. Now, there are two ways we can interpret this. If we think she is finished going to concerts this month, we can use the simple past. If, however, the month is not over and she intends to keep on going to concerts, we can use the present perfect.
6. The problem here is the same as with sentence 1. There is no reason to use the present perfect continuous when there is nothing indicating the action is still in progress.

Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.
Mowgli sprang to his feet. "Free People," he cried, "does Shere Khan lead the Pack? What has a tiger to do with our leadership?"
"Seeing that the leadership is yet open, and being asked to speak – " Shere Khan began.
"By whom?" said Mowgli. "Are we all jackals, to fawn on this cattle butcher? The leadership of the Pack is with the Pack alone."
Which line from "If" shares a similar theme?
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
Answer:
B) If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue
Explanation:
In the Jungle Book, Shere Khan has the crowd of younger wolves following him around like the jackals do (because he scares them and also feeds them scraps) and letting him influence them negatively. They are not keeping to the Law of the Jungle, similar to talking "with crowds and not keeping their virtue."

3. Is racial discrimination "normal" in America explain?
Answer:
This is a little opinionated, but I think it is not a normal thing, but people definitely normalize it. It happens every single day and it is so sad to see.
Explanation:
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Because America is so diverse you can never really guarantee that something is going to be 100% in one area of the country. For example, America's school system is very odd compared to a lot of other countries considering that 2 schools can be COMPLETELY different even though they are in the same country, state, and district. Back to the question, major cities like NewYork, Dallas, or LA attract people that from different parts of the world, and because of that high population of people that usually have a similar mindset (statistically larger cities vote democratic) meaning that they are more likely to be open to new things especially equality. On the other hand, there are small towns with little population that attract republicans that lean towards extreme racism and conservative mindsets and those towns are considered sundown towns where POC (People Of Color) are not allowed after the sun is down or they will most likely be killed. Now that we got that out of the way the reason why racial discrimination is "normal" in America is because of the subtle things that a lot of people don't normally notice that are caused because of racism. A few examples of that is how African Americans have a huge poverty rate due to never recovering from slavery since it was difficult for them to find jobs because of racist white people. Another example is how some schools do not allow do-rags that cover hair to prevent it from messing up. Some schools even have rules where you can't have certain hairstyles like locs or afros since they are considered "unkempt". Even though there are some things that go on like that in some areas one big thing that is taught to young POC is to be extremely careful around law enforcement as they are known to be racist and potentially hurt your or racially profile you. One last thing is that sometimes you can apply for a job but get denied just because you are POC but you might never know because they don't specifically state that.
So yes, racial discrimination is quite normal and it interferes with daily life for POC.

Please help I suck at English
Read the passage and answer the question.
[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.
Why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree?
To create an image of the sharp edges of the plant
To emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are
To explain when and where the plant grows
To show how afraid the author is of the plant
Answer:
to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant
