Answer 2

The author’s intent in writing about the difference between Sophocles’ play and the original myth on which it’s based is to inform readers about how placing power in choice can make a story or myth more engaging. The correct option is b.

What is “Introduction to Oedipus the King” about?

At the beginning of the play, Oedipus is the beloved ruler of Thebes, whose citizens have been afflicted by a plague.

Oedipus consults the Delphic oracle and learns that the plague will end only when the murderer of Queen Jocasta's first husband, King Laius, is apprehended and punished.

It tells the story of King Oedipus of Thebes, who discovers that he has killed his own father, Laius, and married his own mother, Jocasta, unwittingly.

The author's goal in writing about the differences between Sophocles' play and the original myth on which it is based is to educate readers on how putting power in the hands of the reader can make a story or myth more engaging.

Thus, the correct option is b.

when two or more arithmetic means are inserted between two arithmetic sequence extreme how are they computed​

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that we need to have two or more arithmetic means inserted between two arithmetic extremes, then we have

d= (an - ak) ÷ ( n - k)

For Example: What are the three arithmetic means of the arithmetic extremes 8 and 16, then a1= 12, and a5= 20?

First we use the formula:

d= (an - ak) ÷ (n - k)

= (20 - 12 ) ÷ (5 - 1)

=> (8) ÷ (4) = 2

Our common difference is 2.

Then we can simply:

a5 = 20

a4 = 20 - 2(1) = 18

a3 = 20 - 2(2) = 16

a2 = 20 - 2(3) = 14

a1 = 20 - 2(4) = 12

Now we have our arithmetic sequence 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

Therefore the three arithmetic means of the arithmetic extremes 12 and 20 ==> 14, 16 and 18.

Mr. Ridley

On the Friday before winter break, Mrs. Lyon was out sick with a cold. So, Mr. Ridley substituted for the day. Most of the students in Mrs. Lyon's class were normally well-behaved. However, with the anticipation of the winter break, they became a little wild. While Mr. Ridley was writing on the dry erase board, Margo threw a paper airplane at his back. The class giggled as Mr. Ridley spun around to see who had thrown the paper airplane.
"Class! Throwing paper airplanes at a teacher is unacceptable and disrespectful. Who did that?" Mr. Ridley asked.
The students kept their mouths closed and sat up straight in their chairs. No one volunteered any information.
"Fine then, you will all stay in from recess until someone tells me who threw the airplane," Mr. Ridley said.
Mercy wiggled in her seat. She wanted to tell the teacher who threw the airplane, but she was afraid that the other students would call her a tattle tale.
Alan, the class clown, was thrilled that someone besides him had done something foolish. He would never tell. He would expect the same loyalty from his classmates.
Margo felt nervous. She wanted to confess and apologize to Mr. Ridley, but she was afraid that she would receive a harsh punishment. She wondered how long her classmates would protect her.
Jervis sat and drummed his fingers. He didn't see who threw the paper airplane, but he guessed that it had been Alan. He was tempted to raise his hand and tell the teacher that Alan was the responsible party, but he wasn't completely confident. He really wished that someone would tell who did it. It wasn't fair that the whole class was being punished for one person's mistake.
Rosania was happy that the class wasn't going to recess. She had terrible allergies and wanted to stay inside. She hoped that no one would say a word until recess time was over.
Mr. Ridley walked around the classroom looking at each student's face as he went by. He thought he detected sweat and shaking when he walked by Fred. He wondered if Fred was the culprit. However, Fred just needed to use the restroom but was afraid to ask.
"Fred, you seem a bit anxious. What is it you want to tell me?" Mr. Ridley asked.
"Nothing, sir. I-I need to use the restroom," Fred stammered.
"No one is leaving this room until I find out who threw that airplane at me," Mr. Ridley said.
Margo could not allow her classmates to suffer any longer.
"It was me! I threw it! I'm sorry, Mr. Ridley," Margo said as she burst into tears.
Mr. Ridley hated to see children cry. He rushed over to Margo and gently patted her back.
"I forgive you. Don't cry," Mr. Ridley said.
"I was just being silly. I didn't mean to disrespect you," Margo sniffled.
"We will forget all about it. Let's enjoy the rest of our day together. Because you were honest, we will all play games for the rest of the day," Mr. Ridley announced.

What advice do you have for younger kids about navigating social media?

Answers

Answer:

Be careful and limit your time

Explanation:

There are so many scary people on social media, so be careful. And, don't make it your life. There is so much more to life than social media and it is a good idea to limit your usage.

The advice I have for younger kids navigating social media is , you should always try to be careful with what you watch and browse, if something is scary you should always try to reach out to someone you trust. A lot of things are scary but you don’t have to go through things alone, You should never talk to someone online that you don’t know without asking your parents & even though you think you are grown up and think you are mature to watch things like horror and ETC, you aren’t. There are some things you aren’t ready for and especially watching videos you aren’t supposed to or even talking to people you don’t know.

Read the first paragraph from O. Henry’s story “The Gift of the Magi.”

“One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent *imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.”


[*imputation of parsimony: accusation of stinginess]

Why did the author use this paragraph to open his story?

A. It produces tension that foreshadows later events in the story.
