Answer:
The story of the flood can be found in many ancient nations' mythology. Here will be given some of the striking similarities between versions of this story from The Epic of Gilgamesh and from The Bible.
Firstly, the flood was sent as a punishment for people's sins and misbehavior. One man was informed about the disaster; in The Bible it was Noah, in the Gilgamesh it was Utnapishtim. Both men built an ark containing many compartments and only one door. All animal species were brought on the boat. Although the flood didn't last the same amount of time in the two stories, its consequences were the same: the water covered the ground and the ark passengers were the only ones left alive.
Also, both boats landed on a mountain peak and both protagonists sent birds to check for nearby land.
Finally, both man offered sacrifice after the flood was over.
Of course, these are only some of the biggest similarities between the two stories. After more careful reading of the stories, one will surely be able to find few similarities more.
I hope this helped.
Part A What is a theme of "Stray"? People who work hard are less likely to want to keep a pet. A family's financial situation can affect the decisions it makes. A family should make financial sacrifices for their pets. People should put their children before their pets.
Answer:
A family's financial situation can affect the decisions it makes.
Explanation:
"Stray" tells the story of a girl who, when rescuing a stray dog, cannot stay with him because the family does not have enough financial resources. The girl's father warns that she can help the dog to recover (the dog is injured and malnourished), but due to their financial condition, the dog could not stay in the house. This saddened the girl a lot, but this decision had to be made in the name of the family's needs, which shows that the financial situation has a lot of influence on decision making.

If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
1 Paragraph
Answer:
I would change anybody who isn't in jail rightfully would be in jail and anybody who is in jail wrongfully would be free. There are so many people who are in jail now who don't deserve to be because they didn't do anything wrong, they were wrongfully convicted. However, there's still so many other inappropriate people, murderers, robbers, school shooters, child abusers, anybody who sells another person, who are out on the streets doing the unimaginable. While People who have been in jail for a long time suffer for those types of crimes.

Bicycling by young women has helped to swell the ranks of reckless girls who finally drift into the standing army of outcast women of the United States," wrote Smith in a resolution issued by her group, the Women's Rescue League. Which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint? Women should not cycle until they are older. Women should learn to cycle properly. Women should avoid cycling. Women should cycle only as a hobby.
Answer:
The option which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint is:
C. Women should avoid cycling.
Explanation:
According to the book "Wheels of Change", Charlotte Smith condemned cycling as an indecent practice for women. In Smith's opinion, women who ride a bike are less moral and less religious than those who do not. She even accused riding bikes of being unhealthy - which we have known for decades to be untrue. With that in mind, we can easily choose letter C as the best option. To Smith, women should not cycle at all.

C. Women should avoid cycling

In South Dakota, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is as big as Delaware and Rhode Island combined. It has some of the highest poverty rates in the United States. For three years, it has also hosted shows with music written for an orchestra by high school students.
"It's really a great thing to see these kids, and the pride that the reservation has in having these kids be stars," said David Gier. He is the music leader of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra.
The yearly music academy is one part of the Lakota Music Project. It's a program developed with the orchestra and musicians of the Lakota Native American tribe. The goal is to create cultural cooperation, teaching people about the Lakota and the orchestra.
"Through music, we are able to show a side of us that nobody gets to see," said Emmanuel Black Bear, a singer. He has been part of the Lakota Music Project since 2009. The native people have "a rich culture," he said. "I wanted to be a part of something where we could show the positive side of our people through music."
Black Bear is bringing the Lakota Music Project to Washington, D.C. Native flute player Bryan Akipa and nine members of the South Dakota Symphony are also going. In October, Black Bear will perform at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and at Washington National Cathedral. It is for a festival hosted by the PostClassical Ensemble. The goal is to show Native American influences on American music.
Matching Two Different Types Of Music Together
The Lakota Music Project "deserves to be more widely known," said Joseph Horowitz. He is the PostClassical Ensemble's leader.
The project began in 2005. It was soon after Gier started with the orchestra. He wanted to develop community programs, and he learned about tensions in his new community between Native and non-Native Americans.
Gier approached local leaders and experts. One was Ronnie Theisz, a writer of books on Lakota culture. The two men talked about creating a project.
An idea came one snowy evening at Pine Ridge. Some of the orchestra's musicians met with the Porcupine Singers, a drumming circle on the reservation. They played music for each other.
Gier said the keeper of the drum talked about singing old songs and passing on tradition to younger people. It was the main thing both groups shared.
There are plenty of differences, too. The timing of the two types of music is different, said Black Bear. "In the beginning, it was kind of difficult to match them together."
Hearing The Music Instead Of Trying To Change It
The first Lakota Music Project tour, in 2009, set themes for the concerts. Theisz became a leader on the project. He suggested grouping the concert around love and death, joy and sadness, with music from each culture. The second half had new works on Lakota themes.
The Lakota Music Project is coming to Washington because of Horowitz's support of the Indianist movement. It was in the early 1900s. American composers wrote music based on Native American themes. Horowitz calls it "a major American cultural event that's been totally forgotten."
From the Lakota point of view, however, the "Indianist" movement inappropriately uses Native American customs. It's based on a misunderstanding of Native traditions, they believe.
"Even when they loved to take source music from different Indian tribes," Theisz said of the Indianist composers, "they didn't appreciate it." They wanted to try to improve it, he said.
"We're trying to counter that," he said. "Hearing the real music is part of the project."
The Lakota Music Project's focus remains on building bridges through music.
"It's just human connection," Gier said, "and feeling like we can make a difference."
Question 1
Refer to the Newsela article "The Lakota Tribe Wants to Educate People Through Music Project."

A. The Lakota Music Project seeks to improve upon the music of different Indian tribes.

C. "Native music is more freestyle," said Black Bear, who has been part of the Lakota Music Project since 2009.
D. "Its goal is to spotlight Native American influences on American classical music."

Which answer choice accurately describes the use of passive voice?
A. A verb in the passive voice is done for its subject.
B. A verb in the passive voice is done to its subject.
C. A verb in the passive voice is done without a subject.
D. A verb in the passive voice is done by its subject..
Verb in the passive voice is done for its subject is accurately describing the use of passive voice. Hence, option A is correct.
What is passive voice?A verb is said to be in the passive voice when it affects the sentence's subject. For instance, in the sentence "The ball was thrown by the pitcher," the verb was thrown is in the passive form, and the ball, the subject, acquires the action of the verb.
Whether a statement is in the passive voice can be determined by the verbs used. The formula for passive verbs is "be" verb form + past participle. The passive voice is frequently indicated in phrases with "by" before the person who really performed the deed, though this isn't always the case.
When the subject gets the action that the verb is conveying, the passive voice is used.
Thus, option A is correct.

Emily realized the sentence contains a pronoun error. Which sentence below corrects the error? A.The pack of wolves returned to his or her den. B.The pack of wolves returned to his den. C.The pack of wolves returned to our den. D.The pack of wolves returned to its den.
Answer:
D.The pack of wolves returned to its den.
Explanation:
When we are referring to an animal or an object, we must not use the pronouns "she / her" or "he / his" as these pronouns are specific to human beings. In this case, animals and objects are referred to with the pronoun "it". The pronoun "our" is also used for a group of human beings and never for a group of animals or objects.
In this case, the letters A, B, and C do not have the correct way to use a pronoun that refers to a pack of wolves. If wolves are animals, the right pronoun for them is "it / its" as shown in the letter D.

McCarthy quotes Stalin and Lenin… to convince communist sympathizers to join his cause against communism. to point out how communist leaders promise a good deal but rarely follow through. to support his argument that communism has already infiltrated most of Europe. to support his claims that communist and non-communist states cannot exist in peace.
Answer:
to support his claims that communist and non-communist states cannot exist in peace
Explanation:
McCarthy claimed that communism's greatest flaw was that its only religion was immorality (or Immoralism as he called it). He quoted Stalin to emphasize the fact that communism repudiates Christianity and that communist values oppose Christian values. Communists cannot live in peace with Christians and will not accept Christian democracy, and they will fight against them to impose their communist doctrine.
He also claimed that the greatest threat to America wouldn't come from actions of communists abroad, instead, it would come from traitors within the nation.
