Explanation:
account of Mark Twain’s experiences as a riverboat captain.
I soon discovered two things. One was that a vessel would not be likely to sail for the mouth of the Amazon under ten or twelve years; and the other was that the nine or ten dollars still left in my pocket would not suffice for so imposing an exploration as I had planned, even if I could afford to wait for a ship. Therefore it followed that I must contrive a new career. The "Paul Jones” was now bound for St. Louis. I planned a siege against my pilot, and at the end of three hard days he surrendered. He agreed to teach me the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis for five hundred dollars, payable out of the first wages I should receive after graduating. I entered upon the small enterprise of "learning” twelve or thirteen hundred miles of the great Mississippi River with the easy confidence of my time of life. If I had really known what I was about to require of my faculties, I should not have had the courage to begin. I supposed that all a pilot had to do was to keep his boat in the river, and I did not consider that that could be much of a trick, since it was so wide.
Which statement best summarizes the passage?
Twain feels confident about learning the Mississippi River.
Twain finds that piloting a riverboat is not as easy as it looks.
Twain convinces his pilot to teach him how to navigate a riverboat.
Twain is concerned about not having enough money to survive.

What does impossibly interwoven even with its hostilities mean in the story A Quilt of a Country from this paragraph. PLEASE HELP 60POINTS
“What is the point of a nation in which one part seems to be always on the verge of fisticuffs with another, blacks and whites, gays and straights, left and right, Pole and Chinese and Puerto Rican and Slovenian? Other countries with such divisions have in fact divided into new nations with new names, but not this one, impossibly interwoven even in its hostilities.”
Answer: Other countries with such divisions have in fact divided into new nations with new names, but not this one, impossibly interwoven even in its hostilities." Quindlen suggests that, even though hostilities among ethnic groups exist in this country, we are also able to remain--on the whole--unified under one name.

The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but never before had they undertaken something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been hoping for — their chance to show the world they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls.
What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text?
Answer:
3. By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League gained enough strength in numbers to have some power.
Explanation:
Joan Dash's "We Shall Not Be Moved," tells the dramatic story of how the women's union led a massive strike in the history of America. The story of women workers protesting and organizing strikes, women activists working towards ensuring better and equal opportunities to their female counterparts became one of the most important events in labor history.
In the given passage, the narrator recounts how women trade union "organized strikes" that were big, bringing a turnout of "[an] army" totally unexpected by the League. The strike was to show the men or the government as a whole that "they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls."
This detail gives the conclusion that the organizational structure of the working women shows how the Women's Trade Union League managed to gain enough strength in numbers to assert their ability and power.
Thus, the correct answer is option 3.
Answer:
C. By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League gained enough strength in numbers to have some power.

Answer:
The Bone Wars is an episode in the history of paleontology that led to the discovery of some of the most famous dinosaurs.
Explanation:
The rivalry between Cope and Marsh was what led them to commit illicit acts and even destroy several dinosaur bones in order to "destroy" each other.
They began to collect fossil bones, and hidden from Cope, Marsh had paid for the bones to easily reach him.
Although both were great scientists, instead of working together they attacked each other in a public way.
However, this enmity helped to discover large species such as Diplodocus or Anisonchus Copehater.
Finally, the one who "won the war" was Marsh, who found 80 new species of dinosaur, while Cope found 56.

In Act I, Scene 2 of The Diary of Anne Frank, the Franks and Van Daans move into a hidden annex of an office building. After reading this scene, take a few minutes to consider what things you would take if you were forced to go into hiding. Write in your journal about what you would pack and why. Keep in mind that you would only be able to take what you could carry on your body or in a very small sack. Your response should be no less than 150 words in length.
Answer:
If I were forced to go into hiding I would wear many layers of cloths like five to six shirts and two to three leggings, a jacket with a lot of pockets and more under clothes. I would do this so I can wear fresh clothes as long as possible and the pockets on the jacket could help me carry more stuff like a phone or charger so I could contact friends and family and go live with them. I would also get my shoes because my slippers would break easily. In my sack I would carry as much as food I can so I would not starve to death. I would bring medicine so if my family got sick or injured they could heal faster and my important documents like ID and passport because when the Holocaust were to end I would flee to another country and I would really need them.
This is 150 words and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Explanation:
Rodriguez-Padilla celebrates the purity, honesty, and directness of his own childhood writing: "You wrote from the heart back then, about the things you cared about. You didn't care to be the next Kate Chopin or Oscar Wilde" (Eschholz 54). Yet, this piece begins with a quotation from Montaigne and includes several literary references. Is that considered a pardox? Is writing "from the heart" compatible with writing in a sophisticated or intellectually demanding way? Why, or why not?
Answer and Explanation:
1. This can be considered a paradox. This is because the quote states that the writer did not care about being Kate Chopin or Oscar Wilde, in this case, we can understand that he did not care about the great names of literature, but the author contradicts himself, when he uses quotes from well-known writers, showing that he, in fact, gives importance to the great names of literature. This is a paradox, that is, it is a contradiction that maintains a little bit of truth.
2. Writing "from the heart" is not compatible with writing in a sophisticated and formal way. This is because writing in a sophisticated way means writing in a rational, coherent and grammatically correct way, writing "from the heart" means writing with emotion, regardless of rules, linguistic devices or academic concepts, but in the way that emotion commands.

Kindness: What I've learned from 3,000 children and adolescents: How does the author refine his ideas on the types of kindness children and adolescents observe, experience, or enact? Cite explicit textual evidence from the text to support your analysis.
Answer and Explanation:
The author realizes that there are 3 situations in which children believe that they observe, experience and practice kindness and this changes according to age. According to the author, older children believe they are kind when they help, show respect, encourage or defend someone. On the other hand, younger children have an even more surprising result, as they believe it occurs when they help someone physically or emotionally and when they share what they have.
The author achieved these results by asking the children to speak when they are kind, through a short text or a drawing (in the case of younger children).

Zeus was saved from being eaten by his father Kronos. When he was older Zeus rescued his brothers and sisters, fought his father and the other Titans and banished them.

Zeus was also known as the father of the gods on Mount Olympus and men.
Explanation:
Answer:
In Greek mythology, Medusa (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Μέδουσα "guardian, protectress")[1] also called Gorgo, was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. It is in the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses that her story is most deeply elaborated. She was lovely, according to the poem—until she and Poseidon had sex in Athena’s temple.[2] Athena then punished her for this violation, by turning her into the monstrous, stony-glanced creature that we know. Thus those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto,[3] although the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto.[4]
Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon[5] until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
According to Hesiod and Aeschylus, she lived and died on an island named Sarpedon, somewhere near Cisthene. The 2nd-century BC novelist Dionysios Skytobrachion puts her somewhere in Libya, where Herodotus had said the Berbers originated her myth, as part of their religion. She remained a priestess to Athena after her death and was risen with fresh hair.
