Read the passage “Five Boiled Eggs” before answering Numbers 24 through 29.
A boy
An Old Turkish Tale
Retold by Laura S. Sassi
illustrated by Allan Eitzen
Long ago, a poor country boy left home to seek his fortune. Day and night he traveled, stopping to eat at inns along the way. Though he ate sparingly, his money quickly dwindled until, one day, no silver akches remained.
Still, the boy kept walking. Soon, however, his empty belly began to ache. Staggering up to the next inn he saw, he approached the innkeeper.
“Please feed me!” he said. “I don't have any money now, but I promise to pay you as soon as I can.”
“I'll see what I can spare,” the innkeeper grumbled. He took five boiled eggs out of a large bowl and put them on a plate with some stale bread. “Here,” he said, plopping the platter in front of the boy.
The famished lad gratefully gobbled every morsel. Then, repeating his promise to pay back the innkeeper, he journeyed on.
Revived by his five-egg breakfast, the boy soon reached a bustling seaport. Intent on finding his fortune, he set sail on the first ship that was leaving the harbor.
Years passed, and the lad prospered. As a sea merchant, he sailed far, stopping in many exotic ports. However, he never forgot his humble beginnings or the money he owed the innkeeper.
When he finally returned home, he stopped by the old roadside inn.
“Kind sir,” he respectfully inquired, “how much for the five boiled eggs that you served me so long ago?”
In truth, the innkeeper did not remember him, for this fine-looking fellow looked nothing like the scrawny lad who had begged for food some ten years before. Still, eager to make a profit, he readily added up the charges. “That'll be ten thousand akches,” he declared.
“For five eggs?” The rich stranger gasped. He had thought that he would have to pay no more than ten or twenty akches.
“Ah, but you must consider their lost worth,” the greedy innkeeper replied. “Had you not eaten those eggs, they would have hatched into hens. Those hens, in turn, would have laid eggs that would have hatched into hens. . . .” On and on he ranted until at last he reached his grand total.
The innkeeper
When the stunned merchant refused to pay, the innkeeper declared that he would take him to court.
A trial was set for the following week. Alas, rumor had it that the judge was a close friend of the innkeeper.
“I'm ruined!” the merchant muttered as he sat in the village square. “What will I do?”
At that moment, he was approached by a sturdy little man wearing a white turban and riding a donkey. “Nasreddin Hodja, at your service,” the man said with a friendly nod. “What seems to be the problem?”
After hearing the merchant's story, Hodja announced, “This is your lucky day! It would be my honor to defend you. I have great experience in these matters.”
A man
“Thank you,” the merchant said, amazed at his good fortune.
But when the court date finally arrived, Nasreddin Hodja was nowhere in sight.
“Woe is me,” mumbled the merchant.
“I'll soon be rich!” cried the innkeeper.
“Where is Hodja?” demanded the judge, growing angrier by the minute. He was about to render judgment in the innkeeper's favor when Hodja boldly barged in.
“Pardon me,” he said, panting, as he hastily took the witness stand. “I would have been here sooner, but this morning I had the cleverest plan. Instead of eating my boiled corn for breakfast, I planted it. Think of the rich harvest I'll reap!”
“That's absurd,” the innkeeper scoffed. “You can't grow corn from cooked kernels!”
“Indeed?” Hodja said with mock wonder. “Then, sir, how is it that you would have been able to hatch chickens from boiled eggs?”
At that, the whole room reeled with laughter.
“Order in the court!” shouted the judge, pounding his gavel and scowling at the innkeeper.
The judge then ruled that the merchant would not have to pay even one akche for the eggs. Instead, the innkeeper would have to pay a fine for wasting the court's time with such foolishness.

Which of the following is a good way to reduce salinization?
A

B
increase use of synthetic pesticides
using rainwater instead of goundwater on crops
D
adopt no-lill farming methods
Answers
The best way to reduce salinization is by increasing the use of synthetic pesticides using rainwater instead of groundwater on crops. The correct option is B.
What is salinization?The rise in salt concentration in an environmental medium, most notably soil, is referred to as salinization. It is also referred to as salivation. Some parts of the ocean receive more rain than others, and the salinity changes as freshwater from rain mix with and dilutes seawater.
Land use, farming systems, land management, and land degradation are the most influential human-induced factors. Salinization is caused by both inappropriate irrigation practices (such as the use of salt-rich irrigation water) and insufficient drainage.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answers
Answer:
amusement
Explanation:
Hello. You did not inform the text to which this question refers, however, by the context, we can consider that you are referring to "Long Way Gon" written by Ishmael Beah, where he tells about the experiences he had, after his village was attacked and he became a soldier, at the age of twelve, in the war in Sierra Leone.
The question refers to the moment when Ishmael and other boys are captured by fishermen from another village, the fishermen take the boys to the chief of the village so that he can decide what their fate will be. The chief decides that they would be thrown into the sea to drown, but he is curious about the tape player Ishmael has in his pocket. For this reason, before throwing it overboard, the chef asks him to play music and dance, for fun. Ishmael did as he was asked and his dance made the chief realize that he and the other boys are harmless and so they could leave without being killed.

Function of Verbal:
Answers
Answer:
Verbal: to eat
Type of Verbal: Infinitive
Function of Verbal: Adverb
Explanation:
Verbals are described as the non-finite verb forms that do not function as a verb in the sentence. They primarily function as nouns, adverbs, or adjectives in the sentence and remain unaffected by the change in the tense of the sentence.
In the given sentence, 'to eat' is the verbal infinitive as it consists of 'to + base form of the verb(eat).' It is functioning as an adverb in the sentence as it modifies the clause 'left the movie early' by providing details about it. It is the non-finite verb form that is neutral in respect to any inflection in the tense of the sentence.

How many times did the farmer change his plans to please people?
(ps i really need answers and if you say i don't know then your thing will get ban and three bans mean you acc will get ban please help)
Answers
Answer: The challenges that many American farmers faced in the last quarter of the nineteenth century were significant. They contended with economic hardships born out of rapidly declining farm prices, prohibitively high tariffs on items they needed to purchase, and foreign competition. One of the largest challenges they faced was overproduction, where the glut of their products in the marketplace drove the price lower and lower.
Overproduction of crops occurred in part due to the westward expansion of homestead farms and in part because industrialization led to new farm tools that dramatically increased crop yields. As farmers fell deeper into debt, whether it be to the local stores where they bought supplies or to the railroads that shipped their produce, their response was to increase crop production each year in the hope of earning more money with which to pay back their debt. The more they produced, the lower prices dropped. To a hard-working farmer, the notion that their own overproduction was the greatest contributing factor to their debt was a completely foreign concept.In addition to the cycle of overproduction, tariffs were a serious problem for farmers. Rising tariffs on industrial products made purchased items more expensive, yet tariffs were not being used to keep farm prices artificially high as well. Therefore, farmers were paying inflated prices but not receiving them. Finally, the issue of gold versus silver as the basis of U.S. currency was a very real problem to many farmers. Farmers needed more money in circulation, whether it was paper or silver, in order to create inflationary pressure. Inflationary pressure would allow farm prices to increase, thus allowing them to earn more money that they could then spend on the higher-priced goods in stores. However, in 1878, federal law set the amount of paper money in circulation, and, as mentioned above, Harrison’s Sherman Silver Act, intended to increase the amount of silver coinage, was too modest to do any real good, especially in light of the unintended consequence of depleting the nation’s gold reserve. In short, farmers had a big stack of bills and wanted a big stack of money—be it paper or silver—to pay them. Neither was forthcoming from a government that cared more about issues of patronage and how to stay in the White House for more than four years at a time.
