Why do the Shark Tank investors decline Mo’s deal? Support your answer with evidence from the text that is either directly stated or implied.
The Text:
By the time I was twelve, I was selling over $1,000 in bow ties annually. That’s when I got an email from the producers of Shark Tank, a show that gives entrepreneurs the chance to present their companies in front of a panel of investors. At first, my mom turned down the offer—she didn’t know what the show was. But when we started doing research and kept in contact with the producers, she agreed to let me fly to California to film. I decided to ask the investors for $50,000 for a fifteen-percent stake in my company. For months, I recited lines, practicing in front of a camera, my parents and occasionally my teddy bears. Despite my preparation, when the day finally came, I was terrified. Walking down the blue-lit hallway, I gripped my mom’s hand so tightly that five years later, she still jokes that I cut off her circulation. When the producers cued me to begin, my brain went empty and the words I had practiced fell away. After a deep breath, I somehow gathered myself and recited my pitch. But none of the sharks wanted to take the deal I’d offered. They told us we didn’t need their help, that we were growing at the right speed and should keep the company’s ownership for ourselves. One investor, Kevin, offered to contribute to my business if I gave him three dollars for every tie I sold for the life of the company, but all of the other sharks told me not to take the deal. I declined, leaving the stage with no deal, but with the promise of a mentorship from another investor, Daymond John. As I walked backstage, my eyes filled with tears and I started sobbing. My goal for months had been to leave with a deal, and I had failed. The moment when I messed up my pitch replayed in my head. But as time passed, I realized that the sharks had actually given me a gift.
Answer:
Plz mark me Brainliest.

Match the figures of speech used in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poems to the lines that contain them.
Answer:
The line "A damsel with a dulcimer" contains alliteration and it is used for the sounds of the letters a and d.
The author uses personification in the lines "The Sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he!" where he personifies the Sun in the form of a man.
The word below is repeated in the lines "Below the kirk, below the hill,"
"The Wedding-Guest stood still, And listens like a three years' child:" - We have used simile here because of the like.
"a sunny pleasure dome with caves of ice." It is antithesis, because we have sun and ice as opposing objects in this line.
Explanation:
Which of the following best describes the meaning of "substituted hope for the rod"?
given hope to slaves who want to be free
replaced hope with the threat of violence
replaced the threat of violence with hope
made free laborers hopeful they will no longer be beaten
Answer: replaced hope with the threat of violence
Explanation: I believe it is “replaced hope with the threat of violence“ because Lincoln was bringing up how slave owners have used the “rod” or violence to induce slavery instead of using “free labor” which induces “Hope”.

9. According to "Zoo" and "The Blind Men and the Elephant," what role does perspective or point of view play in understanding a situation? Write an extended response that analyzes how this idea is developed through characters, setting, and plot in both the story and the poem. Cite evidence from both texts to support your response. Be sure to observe the conventions of standard English.
Answer:
“Zoo” tells the story of Teacher Hugo’s Interplanetary Zoo coming to the City of Chicago. Each year, the zoo brings intriguing animals from outsider lands for the individuals on soil to see. The individuals energetically pay the charge to see the creatures from a far off arrive and wonder at their modern and intriguing highlights. When the teacher brings the amazing horse-spider of Kaan, the individuals run to the display and clamor to share what they’ve seen with family and friends. The content states, “And the swarms gradually filled by, stunned and interested by these interesting animals that looked like steeds, but ran up the dividers of their cages like creepy crawlies. ‘This is certainly worth a dollar,’ one man commented. ‘I am going domestic to tell my wife.’” The man’s responses to the horse insects appear that he is captivated and fascinated by the Kaan horse-spider since it is not at all like anything that he has ever seen on Soil some time recently. Within the brief story, “Zoo” and the sonnet “The Daze Men and the Elephant,” the creators illustrate.

Explanation:
Kate uses 8.1 pints of white paint and blue paint to paint her bedroom walls. 1 4 of this amount is white paint, and the rest is blue paint. How many pints of blue paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?
Answer: 6.075 pints of blue paint
Explanation:
Amount of white paint and blue paint used by Late to paint her bedroom walls = 8.1 pints
Fraction of white paint = 1/4
Fraction of blue paint = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
The amount of blue paint used = 3/4 × 8.1
= 0.75 × 8.16
= 6.075 pints of blue paint

Action verbs are verbs that express an action that the subject of the sentence is doing. In this sentence the action verb is performed.
2) The rabbit appeared out of the hat.
Same explanation as the question 1. Appeared is the action verb that describes what the rabbit is doing.
3) The sauce tastes too salty.
A linking verb is a verb that links the adjective that describes the subject together. In this sentence tastes is the linking verb which connects the adjective and the subject.

Victor was angry Somebody had stolen $500 in cash from him, and When he found who it was, he was going to make the thief pay. He looked around for suspects and saw all smiling at him. It had to be
him Victor threw himself at Gil, ready to punch his lights out
Which of the endings to the scene would be most ironic?
A. Victor wins the fight and takes back his $500. 'Don't do that
again,' he says,
B. The cash was in Victor's pocket the whole time, but he loves it
while he is fighting Gil
C. The friendship between Gil and Victor never recovers after their
terrible fight
D. In the ensuing fight, Gil unexpectedly pleas for mercy, Victor feels
awful
Answer:
B. The cash was in Victor's pocket the whole time, but he loves it while he is fighting Gil.
Explanation:
Irony is a rhetorical device that refers to when things did not go as expected. In an ironic situation, what is expected and what happens is the exact opposite of each other.
In the given scenario, Victor's belief that Gil took his money led to the altercation. But basing his suspicions without any proof, Victor may have made a huge mistake. Moreover, one ending that will be the most ironic is if Victor found the money in his own pocket while he'd blamed and even fought with Gil.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
