(GIVING BRAINLIEST IF U GET IT CORRECT!! :D)
Major cities all over the world are changing color. The tall buildings that make up the landscape of these urban environments are becoming greener. People are trying to help the environment and have found that green roofs are one way to do so. By planting grass and small shrubbery on the tops of buildings, the environment is getting a helping hand.

It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles on a roof, but the trend is growing. The basic green roof requires a frame, waterproof membrane, gravel for drainage, fibrous material to retain moisture, soil for planting, and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building.

Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. The largest green roof in New York City is built on the roof of a processing and distribution facility. It is actually the biggest green roof in the country. Being in New York, it has faced snow, rain, freezing, and thawing. It has survived it all.

The city of Chicago, Illinois, now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial, not only to the environment, but also to the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills.

Select the reason the author included the point that it is expensive to build a green roof.


A) It contrasts the fact that gravel is needed.

B) It contrasts the fact that the trend is growing.

C) It is a comparison between price and shape.

D) It is a comparison between price and size.

Researchers Charles Buffum and Craig Harger say that the destruction of the USS Revenge changed the course of history. After the ship sank, the Navy demoted Oliver Perry, the ship's commander. Because of this demotion,
Perry was denied another high seas command. Instead, he was assigned to the Great Lakes during the War of
1812. Perry assembled and commanded a small American naval force. In the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie, with two
battleships and 500 men, he defeated the British and retained control of the Great Lakes. After the battle, Perry
was promoted to captain and awarded a medal by Congress. Buffum and Harger assert that ultimately the

Answers

Explanation:

I would read Watch out for the car” in a serious tone because it sounds like you are informing someone to be cautious or careful so nothing bad happens to it.

WithI'm sorry to hear about the passing of your father” It's more like saying it in a sad tone so it won't be that serious.

Manga means Japanese comic books.

Name of Business: Manga Aroma

How the Business Works: Manga Aroma is a cafe offering both product and service to customers; that is, product in the form of coffee and tea and service in the form of manga rental. Unlike ordinary coffee and tea, my cafe serves personalized drinks according to the person's favorite anime. Customers can rent their favorite manga from Japan with English translations while they're enjoying their drinks. Plus, for a price of $1, they can take the manga at home and return it the following day. My business is targeting people from all walks of life since I believe that everyone was once a child.

Why the Business is the Best: My business is the best because it is the first of its kind in my locality and with the people's growing fondness for anime, my business promises a bright future. This business will give people a jolt of happiness and embrace their childlike hearts. It will be opening its door this coming Christmas season when people will feel more festive, more imaginative and more open-minded to innovative cafe adventure.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
