From the porch, the cabin looked as quaint and rustic as the website had promised. I hoisted my duffel to my hip, unlocked the door with the key I’d been sent, and stepped into the warm air of the mountain home. The floorboards creaked a welcome as I investigated. I admired the piney living room, noting the stone hearth and the dappled afternoon light on the walls. Then I made my way toward the sole bedroom at the end of the hall. I glanced at the eyelet bedcover, the mantle clock, and the antique mirror. Wait. I glanced again at the mirror and impulsively brushed my hair from my eyes, balking at the coloring of the wayward wisps. How could it be? My hand touched my skin—the image I faced was a much older version of myself. I backed away, watching my wrinkled face retreat. I tripped on the doorjamb, stubbed my toe on an errant nail, and nearly toppled over my own luggage as I lunged for the door.

This question is missing the options and the excerpt. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

He was in an amazing plight. His coat was dusty and dirty, and smeared with green down the sleeves; his hair disordered, and as it seemed to me greyer—either with dust and dirt or because its colour had actually faded. His face was ghastly pale; his chin had a brown cut on it—a cut half healed; his expression was haggard and drawn, as by intense suffering. For a moment he hesitated in the doorway, as if he had been dazzled by the light. Then he came into the room. He walked with just such a limp as I have seen in footsore tramps. We stared at him in silence, expecting him to speak.

Answer:

The description about the Time Traveller's physical appearance suggests that he:

C. Had traveled to a time where he suffered some hardships

Explanation:

"The Time Machine" is a novel by H. G. Wells. At the beginning of the story, the narrator tells readers about the Time Traveller's appearance at a dinner where the narrator and several others were gathered. According to him, the Time Traveller looked tired, dirty, hungry, older, and hurt. No one knows this just yet, but he had been away, visiting the future in his time machine. From his appearance, we can tell he has gone through some hardships. Who knows what he encountered? But surely he suffered during the time he was in the future.

I think the answer is C.
Given that the academic classes are mandatory, the students probably don’t like those classes. Why is that important? If they don’t like it, they probably don’t want it as a career choice. By giving them a well rounded education, it would give them more paths for them to decide on a career later in life. By taking away non-essential classes, you take away that ability.

How could you write a email to your counselor of needing help to apply to college.

Answers

Answer:

If you need to write an email to your counselor, you will need to write a formal email.

Explanation:

To write an email correctly it is essential to know the purpose of the message and your relationship with the recipient. For friends or family, the rules are much more flexible than when writing a formal email: when we deal with a group of people in a field that is familiar to us, we develop communication patterns that work or are correctly understood only within that group . Sometimes, in this type of communication between close friends there are already internalized and assumed concepts that could sound inappropriate or abrupt when communicating with a stranger. Therefore, following a protocol in the professional sector is essential. When it comes to communicating with your trusted people, no one knows them better than you.

If you want to polish your style when writing a professional email and achieve the desired effect on the recipient, be sure to follow a series of non-negotiable rules. There are two main aspects here: on the one hand, the design of the content, and on the other, the technical and formal aspects. The first point applies to any communication of a professional nature, whether electronic or postal. The second category is more specific to the particularities of the medium, and therefore, it focuses on the digital field.

The (________) has increased consumer knowledge about the connection between food and health.

Answers

Answer:

internet

Explanation:

i got it wrong and it showed the correct answer

"The internet has increased consumer knowledge about the connection between food and health." Therefore, the internet is the correct influence on consumer knowledge.

How does the internet impact consumer knowledge?

Customers utilize the Internet in many ways to reach various judgments. For instance, when making decisions that have a significant personal consequence, customers are more inclined to consult others' perspectives via social media and product review websites (e.g., healthcare options or major electronics purchases).

New technology has given consumers more power. They can request goods and services whenever they want and have unrestricted access to information.

Social media has given customers a louder voice and more ways to interact with brands and engage with other customers. Market retailers were able to notice some beneficial shifts in customers' views about them as the internet developed.

Therefore, the internet is the correct answer.

Sampson and Gregory. What is the effect of

beginning the play with banter between two

Capulets? What do you learn about the Capulets

and their feud with the Montagues from this

S exchange?

Answers

Answer:

The beginning of the play "Romeo and Juliet" highlights the level of hatred that Capulets have for Montagues and vice-versa. This hatred is reveled through the words exchanged between two servants of Capulet, Sampson and Gregory. The hatred was not because of their personal reasons but was the result of the decades of differences among the families. Both of them discussed about their wish of torturing Montague men and harassing Montague women. They jump into a fight with two Montague servants. The fight was initiated and insulting remarks were exchanged by both the groups. This was interrupted by other kinsmen among whom some wanted to bring peace while some forced to keep the war going on among the families. This banter between the two families presents the picture of rivalry existing between the families. Shakespeare introduces to the concept of rivalry in the very first Act. The conclusion can be derived about the Capulets through this event that they wanted to initiate war and were never in support of ending the war.
