So I followed Goofball’s directions to the joint where I was to meet the one they called Big Man. Big man is right! The guy was nearly as wide as he was tall, and all muscle. No wonder everyone "did what he said".


Which phrase could be substituted for the phrase in bold (it's did what he said), to better match the tone of the passage?

A)deferred to him

B)respected him

C)brought him presents

D)shined his shoes

Answers

The phrase that could be substituted for the phrase in bold to better match the tone of the passage is "deferred to him." So the right answer is (A) deferred to him

In the given passage, the speaker is describing Big Man as a person who is very muscular and imposing. Everyone seems to be following his orders without hesitation.

The tone of the passage is admiring and even slightly fearful. Therefore, the phrase that should replace "did what he said" should also convey the same tone.

A. Deferred to him is the phrase that could be substituted for the phrase in bold (did what he said), to better match the tone of the passage because it carries the same meaning and tone.

The word "defer" means to submit or yield to the judgment or wishes of another person. The speaker is admiring the power and influence of Big Man, which is the reason everyone is following his orders without question.

Which sentence should replace sentence 5 to create a more effective
and clearer position statement?

The 383 gray wolves are a part of Yellowstone National Park
and therefore a part of the world.

For that reason alone, the gray wolves in Wyoming-their
numbers have now swelled to 383-should be protected
against being hunted to extinction again.

Therefore, the 383 gray wolves now living in and around
Yellowstone should be left alone to spread south to Colorado
and west to Idaho and north into Montana.

Many reasons support letting the 383 gray wolves stay in and
around the Yellowstone area, and I will discuss some of them.

Answers

Gray wolves disappeared from the Yellow Stone National Park, because when the National Park was built during the early 1800s, 1872 to be exact, Gray wolves were not protected by the park itself, there were no laws to protect these species, which is why hunters, who come across the park, hunts these gray wolves until their population decreased.

Answers

Answer: Americans paid more for Cigarettes and cigars than they did for the space program.

Explanation:

On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy gave a speech about the goals of the U.S. in terms of Space travel. He spoke of how the annual cost to prepare the U.S. to go to space was $5,400 million but then made a joke of how this amount was less than the amount that Americans paid yearly for cigarettes and cigars.

He then went on to state his view that America would be on the moon by the end of the 60s and this was accomplished in 1969.

What do you know about the Ku Klux Klan? Do you think they--and other groups like them--should have the right to exist in the US? State your reasons.

A Raisin in the Sun
Act 2 scene 2

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This is a personal question. The answer is supposed to be your opinion. Thus, feel free to edit and change anything in the answer below to adjust it to your beliefs:

"A Raisin in the Sun" is a play by Lorraine Hansberry in which the characters are an African-American family. In the play, the Ku Klux Klan is mentioned:

BENEATHA: Mama, if there are two things we, as people, have got to overcome, one is the Ku Klux Klan - and the other is Mrs. Johnson.

The Ku Klux Klan is a hate group that preaches white supremacy and anti-immigration ideas. I know that, throughout its existence, the Klan has terrorized the lives of non-white people, sometimes even killing black leaders and politicians.

I do not think the KKK or any other groups like them should have the right to exist in the US or anywhere else in the world. Even though we are free to believe in anything we want, our beliefs should not be used to harm others. To be frank, believing in the superiority of a race - especially when we all know race is more of a social construct than a reality - seems absurd to me. Someone's physical features, culture, or place of origin should not be seen as determinant to their superiority or inferiority. We are all human beings, and the need to see others as less human is barbaric, to say the least.

Non-standard English: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Getting to grips with unusual English writing
Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she
wouldn’t. She said it was a mean practice and wasn’t clean, and I must try
not to do it any more. That is just the way with some people. They get down
on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it. Here she was a-bothering
about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone,
you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had
some good in it. And she took snuff, too; of course that was all right,
because she done it herself.
Her sister Miss Watson, a tolerable, slim old maid, with goggles on,
had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spellingbook. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow
made her ease up. I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was
deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, “Don’t put your feet
up there, Huckleberry;” and “Don’t scrunch up like that, Huckleberry – set
up straight;” and pretty soon she would say, “Don’t gap and stretch like that,
Huckleberry – why don’t you try to behave?” Then she told me all about the
bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn’t
mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a
change, I warn’t particular. She said it was wicked to say what I said; said
she wouldn’t say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to
the good place. Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was
going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it. But I never said so,
because it would only make trouble, and wouldn’t do no good.
