What is the central argument of Lake's letter, "An Indian Father's Plea"?
O A. That the teacher needs to respect Wind-Wolf's culture and take
that into account when teaching him
B. That the teacher is prejudiced against American Indians and
should be fired from the school
C. That his son should be removed from the school and sent home
so that he can learn from the tribe
O D. That the author realizes his son is a failure in school and that he
feels bad for the teacher
Answer:
The central argument of "An Indian Father's Plea" is:
A. That the teacher needs to respect Wind-Wolf's culture and take that into account when teaching him.
Explanation:
In his letter to his son's teacher, Robert Lake (Medicine Grizzlybear) explains that his 5-year-old boy, Wind-Wolf, no longer wants to go to school. At school, he is made fun of for his hair, his name, and the mere fact of his being a Native American. Besides that, his teacher has also labeled him as a slow learner.
Lake explains that his son is not slow. Wind-Wolf has been exposed to his own culture as well as the culture of other tribes since he was very young. He has learned how to count, how to observe the changes in nature, how ceremonies are carried out, among other things. Wind-Wolf is a smart young child, able to say his name in seven different languages.
What Lake wants is for Wind-Wolf's teacher to understand, accept, and respect his son's origins and culture. He is more than willing to help the teacher, in case he/she lacks the experience to deal with Native American students.
Answer:
A. That the teacher needs to respect Wind-Wolf's culture and take that into account when teaching him.

Vani is her friend.change into interrogative
Answer:
Is Vani her friend?
Explanation:
The given statement "Vani is her friend" its interrogative form will be " Is Vani her friend?"
An interrogative statement, also known as an interrogative sentence, is a type of sentence that is used to ask a question or seek information. It is a way of framing a sentence in such a manner that it prompts a response from the listener or reader. Interrogative statements are characterized by their use of question words (who, what, where, when, why, how) or by the use of auxiliary verbs (is, are, can, will, do, etc.) to begin the sentence.
The original statement is: "Vani is her friend."
To change this sentence into an interrogative form, simply need to start with an interrogative word (such as "Is," "Are," "Can," "Do," etc.) and then rephrase the statement into a question. In this case, we'll use "Is" as the interrogative word.
So, the interrogative form of the sentence would be: "Is Vani her friend?"

Choose a flowering plant—a dandelion, a sunflower, or another flowering plant—you can easily get your hands on. Attempt to get as much of the plant, including the root system, as possible. If you are unable to get a real plant, use the image below as a reference. Using the knowledge that you already have about the plant structure, examine the plant that you have chosen and identify its roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Then, fill in the details in the table provided.
Answer:
If the dandelion didn’t crop up in our lawns, we would call it a wildflower. If it did better in our vegetable gardens, we’d call it a salad leaf. If more people used it for folk cures, we’d call it a medicine. As it is, we call it a weed, and much of what is written about it concerns how to kill it.

What might his house represent, in his mind? Think about what he is trying to show daisy. why does gatsby revalue his possessions as daisy tours his mansion? what does daisy think of his house? and why is her reaction important to gatsby?
Answer:
Gatsby's house represents the love he has for Daisy.
Gatsby devalue his possessions according to Daisy's reactions because he wanted to impress her so much to the point that he liked what she likes and would be okay with discarding whatever she doesn't like.
Daisy seems to love the house and everything that Gatsby possess.
Her reaction is important because all of them were done to impress her.
Explanation:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his desire to reacquaint and reunite with Daisy Buchanan, his former girl friend. The novel deals with themes of wealth, social class, appearance and reality, love, loyalty, etc.
To Gatsby, all he did, the money, the house, everything was done to impress Daisy. She is everything to him, and his only desire is to be reunited with her. He believes that if he is wealthy, and shows the ideal image of a rich man, Daisy would come back to him.
When he told Nick "I want you and Daisy to come over to my house, [...] to show her around", he wanted to impress her. A few lines later, Nick continues "He hadn't once ceased looking at Daisy and I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes. Sometimes, too, he stared around at his possessions in a dazed way as though in her actual and astounding presence none of it was any longer real." Nick seems to know and understand the real reason for Gatsby to bring Daisy to his house.
In Gatsby's mind, his house seems to be a means to impress Daisy, to show that he's capable of doing all these to show his love for her. And by de-valuing his possessions depending on Daisy's reactions, he wants only what Daisy loves and would be okay with discarding whatever she hates.
As she observes Gatsby's house, Daisy seemed impressed and loved everything, though she also thought it strange that he would live alone in the "gigantic" house.
Daisy's reaction is important for Gatsby because whatever he'd done is all for her. His efforts were to impress her, to try to show that he's capable of being wealthy and he also hopes that she'll come back to him.

Andre read the following information on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) website while researching for a report on honeybees.
Pollinators are a vital part of agricultural production. In the United States, more than one-third of all crop production – 90 crops ranging from nuts to berries to flowering vegetables - requires insect pollination. Managed honeybee colonies are our primary pollinators, adding at least $15 billion a year by increasing yields and helping to ensure superior-quality harvests.
However, our beekeepers have been steadily losing colonies. The number of honeybee hives in this country has decreased from 6 million in the 1940s to about 2.5 million today.
Which of the following is the best way for Andre to include some of this information in his report while avoiding plagiarism?

Explanation:
Culture is a word for the 'way of life' of groups of people, meaning the way they do things. Different groups may have different cultures. A culture is passed on to the next generation by learning, whereas genetics are passed on by heredity. Culture is seen in people's writing, religion, music, clothes, cooking and in what they do.
The concept of culture is very complicated, and the word has many meanings.[1] The word 'culture' is most commonly used in three ways.
Excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as high culture.
An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior.
The outlook, attitudes, values, morals, goals, and customs shared by a society.
Most broadly, 'culture' includes all human phenomena which are not purely results of human genetics. The discipline which investigates cultures is called anthropology, though many other disciplines play a part

Dear Brian,
How are you? Please send my regards to your mom.
As you know prior our conversation last week, I recently went to Detroit for my Photography class. While I was taking pictures, you won't believe what happened next. It happened so fast-- one minute, I saw a man running then the next, he was laying down bleeding in the street! I was scared and worried for my safety! I think I screamed as loud as the other people around me as we all see the car speeding out of the crime scene after they were done shooting the man. I have no idea if this person is involved in a gang related activity or not-- all I know is that someone is murdered in broad daylight. Luckily the police came, and I managed to left safely, but I still can't get the image of the man's crumbled body in front of me.
I heard you're moving into this town next month, although I suggest to look for a place somewhere to live because this town is dangerous, I have no choice to say on the matter. I can only give you an advice to stay safe: make sure you look the door at all times (especially at night or when you have to live), avoid going out at night or letting suspicious individuals inside your home, and also pursue a weapon to protect yourself.
Stay safe my friend. I always worry for your safety.

Answer:
See explanation for answer.
Explanation:
Hey Brian, you know about your plans for this weekend and how you were going to head out downtown. Let me tell you, that's not a good idea. That place is sketchy and filled with crime incidents. The street lights don't really turn on there and there are never any cops around. On 1st street, I saw a group of guys mugging a young lady. I jumped into the situation to try and stop it but there were too many of them. Then I called for authorities but they were too late. Just trust me on this one and don't show up. If you have to though Brian, go downtown while it's still light outside and people are walking about. Just so nothing bad happens. I hope all goes well. See you soon.
I hope this helps!
