Answer:
The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.
Explanation:
Faulty parallelism is an error in the structure of a sentence characterized by two parts of the sentence having different structures.
In spoken communication it can be easily heard, and although the intended meaning of the sentence can be understood, it usually confuses the listener and gives the impression of an uneducated speaker.
However, it can easily be corrected by rewriting sentence using only one structure for both parts. This particular sentence could be rewritten as:
1) The scientist received high marks for his brilliance and his humour.
or
2) The scientist received high marks because he was brilliant and because he was humorous.

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants produce sugar and oxygen. Photosynthesis can also take place in single-celled organisms like phytoplankton and other microorganisms.
The process of photosynthesis occurs differently from one organism to the next, but several features remain the same. In short, photosynthesis takes in water and carbon dioxide, uses sunlight as a catalyst, and produces oxygen and sugar. The plants release the oxygen through respiration. They digest or store the sugar.
Although the process seems simple, it is the most important event on the planet as far as animal life is concerned. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process. Herbivores live off these fruits and vegetables and form the basis of any food chain. Carnivores and omnivores would not be able to find food if it were not for these sugars. Were it not for the simple process of photosynthesis, the Earth would be an uninhabited planet.
Animals would not be able to breathe if it was not for this process.
How does this sentence help to develop the idea that photosynthesis is essential to animal life?
A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.
B. It suggests that photosynthesis occurs in all animals.
C. It suggests that photosynthesis takes place in the lungs.
D. It shows that animals depend on this process for food.
The answer is A. It shows that animals depend on this process for oxygen.
Photosynthesis is how Carbon dioxide (what we breathe out) is turned into Oxygen (what we breathe in)
If Photosynthesis never took place Oxygen would run out and animals would suffocate.

Read the excerpt from " Crossing Brooklyn Ferry." Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt, Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd, Just as you are refresh'd by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh'd, Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried, Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm'd pipes of steamboats, I look'd. How is this excerpt representative of free verse?
Answer and Explanation:
"Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" is the poem by Walt Whitman that made him a pioneer of free verse. Free verse happens when a poem does not follow any rules for meter or rhyme schemes. Let's take a look at the excerpt provided:
Just as you feel when you look on the river and sky, so I felt,
Just as any of you is one of a living crowd, I was one of a crowd,
Just as you are refresh’d by the gladness of the river and the bright flow, I was refresh’d,
Just as you stand and lean on the rail, yet hurry with the swift current, I stood yet was hurried,
Just as you look on the numberless masts of ships and the thick-stemm’d pipes of steamboats, I
look’d.
Each line has a different length, so to speak. It is clear that Whitman had no concern for the number of syllables and the rhythm to be the same in each line. When we look at the last word or sound of the lines, we notice the same lack of concern for them to be similar or equal. We can tell there is the repetition of the phoneme /t/ at the end of each last word, but that is not enough to characterize rhyming. This is why this excerpt is a representative of free verse.

Which sentence contains a pronoun without a clear antecedent? After Kara and Maddie run one lap, they will do lunges. Because Troy lost his phone, he could not respond to text messages. Before the lecture, they will hand out packets of information. Diego and Liza prepared themselves for a difficult debate.
The correct answer is Before the lecture, they will hand out packets of information.
Explanation:
In sentences, it is common a noun previously mentioned is replaced later using a pronoun such as she, he, they, etc.; this makes the sentence to flow naturally as it avoids repetition of the same noun. For example, in the sentence "Gabriella does not like vanilla ice cream; she prefers chocolate one" the noun Gabriella is later replaced by the pronoun "she". Also, Gabriella is considered as the antecedent.
This does not occur in the sentence "Before the lecture, they will hand out packets of information" because there is not an antecedent for the pronoun "they" or there is not mentioned who or what will hand out the packets of information.

(2-3 sentences) Describe this character and his/her contribution to the farm. (2-3 sentences) What makes this character important? (1-2 sentences) What’s the theme for this character and why is it important? (2-3 sentences)
Answer:
What is a theme and why is it important? Well, a theme is the message that the author is trying to convey throughout the story. It is important because the theme is one of the reasons why the author wrote it in the first place. "Animal Farm", a novella written by George Orwell, tells a story of a group of animals from Manor farm who rebel against their human farm owner. There are several characters in which their actions developed themes throughout the novel such as Squealer and Napoleon. Both characters' actions developed the themes of "using language as an instrument to abuse power" and "corruption".
First, both Napoleon and Squealer demonstrates the theme of "using language as an instrument to abuse power". One of the author's focal concerns in the novel is the way language can be used as an instrument of control. In the novella, Squealer is known to be manipulative for he is a vastly persuasive speaker. He uses language to make the animals doubt what they have witnessed firsthand and to accept and believe the falsehoods that Squealer tells them. According to the text, ""You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples."" This tells the readers that Squealer is quite good at making others agree on his beliefs. Napoleon is also one of the characters that demonstrates this theme. Although he is not a gifted speaker, he is still known for getting his ways. In the novella, Napoleon seemed to possess the trust of the animals. According to the text, it states, ""Comrades, do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!"" This tells the readers that Napoleon was blaming Snowball which then led to the animals believing what Napoleon said for one of the characters, Boxer, claimed that "Napoleon is always right."
Second, both Napoleon and Squealer demonstrates the theme of "corruption". The novella consists a lot of foreshadowing in which it creates the sense that the events of the story are unavoidable. the novella also unequivocally recommend that some other conceivable ruler would have been as terrible as Napoleon. According to the text, ""Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer—except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs."" This tells the readers that this is a form of corruption for it says that the farm had gotten richer while the animals, except for the pigs and the dogs, were left with nothing. In addition, Squealer demonstrates this theme for he represents the propaganda arm of the controlling class, which are the pigs. He usually takes the truth and spin it to create false accusations on Snowball or the others, to show that Napoleon has no flaws. According to the text, "the others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white." This tells the readers that Squealer is quite capable in manipulating anyone of anything. Napoleon uses this skill for his own benefits.
In conclusion, both Napoleon and Squealer's actions developed the themes of "using language as an instrument to abuse power" and "corruption". This is because both characters work together to be able to manipulate the other animals. They also take advantage of the other animals which then makes them corrupt and evil. In the novella, Squealer is talented in persuading and manipulating others. Napoleon on the other hand is not very gifted in speaking but is quite intimidating. Both in which are a result of them demonstrating the two themes.
It should be noted that Animal Farm was written by George Orwell and it was a story about a group of animals that rebelled against their owners.
A theme simply means the main idea that's conveyed in a story. In the novel, the theme of using language as an instrument that can be used to abuse power was demonstrated by Napoleon and Squealer. In their case, it can be deduced that Squealer was manipulative and a persuasive speaker.
Also, the theme of corruption was demonstrated in the novel. In this case, Squealer was corrupt and was known for lying. He was good at manipulating others.
Lastly, the theme of unity was demonstrated. The animals united before taking over power from the farm owners.

at least two paragraphs, compare the process for electing the state governor with electing the U.S. president. Explain which process you think is more democratic with at least three reasons to justify your position.
Answer:
The debate over the continued use of the Electoral College resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump lost the general election to Hillary Clinton by over 2.8 million votes and won the Electoral College by 74 votes. The official general election results indicate that Trump received 304 Electoral College votes and 46.09% of the popular vote (62,984,825 votes), and Hillary Clinton received 227 Electoral College votes and 48.18% of the popular vote (65,853,516 votes). [1]
Prior to the 2016 election, there were four times in US history when a candidate won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: 1824 (John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson), 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel Tilden), 1888 (Benjamin Harrison over Grover Cleveland), and 2000 (George W. Bush over Al Gore). [2]
The Electoral College was established in 1788 by Article II of the US Constitution, which also established the executive branch of the US government, and was revised by the Twelfth Amendment (ratified June 15, 1804), the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified July 1868), and the Twenty-Third Amendment (ratified Mar. 29, 1961). Because the procedure for electing the president is part of the Constitution, a Constitutional Amendment (which requires two-thirds approval in both houses of Congress plus approval by 38 states) would be required to abolish the Electoral College. [3] [4] [5] [6]
The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College as a compromise between electing the president via a vote in Congress only or via a popular vote only. The Electoral College comprises 538 electors; each state is allowed one elector for each Representative and Senator (DC is allowed 3 electors as established by the Twenty-Third Amendment). [3] [4] [5] [6]
In each state, a group of electors is chosen by each political party. On election day, voters choosing a presidential candidate are actually casting a vote for an elector. Most states use the “winner-take-all” method, in which all electoral votes are awarded to the winner of the popular vote in that state. In Nebraska and Maine, the candidate that wins the state’s overall popular vote receives two electors, and one elector from each congressional district is apportioned to the popular vote winner in that district. For a candidate to win the presidency, he or she must win at least 270 Electoral College votes. [3] [4] [5] [6]
At least 700 amendments have been proposed to modify or abolish the Electoral College. [25]
On Monday Dec. 19, 2016, the electors in each state met to vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Of the 538 Electoral College votes available, Donald J. Trump received 304 votes, Hillary Clinton received 227 votes, and seven votes went to others: three for Colin Powell, one for Faith Spotted Eagle, one for John Kasich, one for Ron Paul, and one for Bernie Sanders). On Dec. 22, 2016, the results were certified in all 50 states. On Jan. 6, 2017, a joint session of the US Congress met to certify the election results and Vice President Joe Biden, presiding as President of the Senate, read the certified vote tally. [21] [22]
For the 2020 election, electors are scheduled to meet and vote on Dec. 14, and deliver the results on Dec. 23. [23] A Sep. 2020 Gallup poll found 61% of Americans were in favor of abolishing the Electoral College, up 12 points from 2016. [24]
