(Bold = delete sentence)

Explanation:

The narrator is talking about his/her day and what s/he and his/her cousins did at the park. Grilled cheese sandwiches are irrelevant to the story because they didn't even bring it to the picnic.

Is the struggle essential for happiness? Write 10 sentences for full credit.

Answers

I would not say it is.

Happiness is an emotion. Just is regret, sadness, solidarity, grief, etc. In most scenarios happiness is an attributed factor and result of struggle, but not always. Someone could have the worst life imaginable, but just as well be content. Anyone can be truly happy, no matter the situation. This does not mean struggle is dismissed as a factor in the becoming of happiness, however. Many things come from struggles, and happiness is a common emotion once the struggle is over.

This is only eight sentences, but it's a good start.

Read this passage from "The American Dream."

America is essentially a dream, a dream as yet unfulfilled. It is a dream of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers. The substance of the dream is expressed in these sublime words, words lifted to cosmic proportions: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness." This is the dream.

Based on the passage, how does the speaker provide evidence to support the idea of the American dream?

by stating that the country was founded on the idea of equality
by presenting the idea of men as brothers who live together
by stating that the country includes people from many races
by presenting the idea that words have the power to help people

(B)

(C)
He thinks the study has some critical flaws that make it scientifically meaningless.
(D)
He thinks the study conclusively proves the link between video games and improved mental health.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

In a study that tried to elicit the correlation between Violence in Video Games and Violence in real behavior, Joseph Hilgard and 4 of his colleagues carried out an experiment involving 275 males (all undergraduates) using a specific type of gaming whose violence levels could be adjusted from hard to easy or very violent to mildly violent.

Students were randomly assigned to play the game. No one person played both categories.

After the game, the students were incited by confederates and were allowed in such as way that they were allowed to express themselves violently or otherwise.

Joseph and his team came to the realization that their research didn't extablish a relationship between playing a violent game and being violent in real life.

One of the limitations of the research that were cited as a possible reason for enervated the researchers from reaching a very boisterous conclusion is that brief exposure under a controlled environment may not be sufficient to trigger violent behavior in the test subjects.

Answers

Answer: A . John Glenn was able to complete his mission  safely.

Explanation:

Katherine Johnson was a brilliant mathematician that helped immensely in the  project to get the United States into space. She was so good with math that she was labelled the ''human computer'' and earned the trust of several people at NASA including astronaut, John Glenn.

John Glenn did not trust the machine projections for his mission and so called in Katherine to double check the calculations made by the computer. After she had confirmed the results, he felt confident enough to fly and so was able to complete his mission safely.

Do you think people face internal conflict or external conflict more often in their daily lives. Write an argumentative essay for which you think we face more in our daily lives,

Answers

Answer:

In fiction, ‘internal conflict’ refers to a character’s internal struggle. A character might struggle with an emotional problem such as fear of intimacy or abandonment, for example. Internal conflict is important for characterization, since flaws and internal struggles make characters more lifelike and sympathetic.

External conflict, on the other hand, refers to the conflicts between a character and external forces. This type of conflict can be between one character and another or a group (or between groups of characters). It can also be between a character and more abstract forces. For example, a bleak and hostile environment in a post-apocalyptic novel.

Both types of conflict, internal and external, are useful because they create:

Tension: Because of conflict’s uncertainty, we want to know how it resolves and keep turning pages to find out

Stakes: Conflict suggests worst-case outcomes and makes resolution urgent (the hero must overcome the antagonist/environment or themselves ‘or else…’)

Character development: Conflict allows for dramatic incidents and confrontations that test characters and cause them to learn and adapt

So how do you use external and internal conflict to develop characters

Explanation:

What do you want to write about internal, or external? The prompt is asking the question “Do you think people face internal or external conflicts more often.”

Read the passage.

(1) In 1751, the Philadelphia Provincial Assembly had a bell made. (2) It was for the new State House. (3) The bell weighed more than 2,000 pounds. (4) The bell was 12 feet in circumference around the bottom. (5) It came to be known as the Liberty Bell because it was inscribed with a motto about liberty. (6) Unfortunately, the Liberty Bell cracked in 1752 during a test ring. (7) To fix the bell, the Philadelphia Assembly had it recast. (8) Some people say the bell cracked again in 1835. (9) It was tolling for John Marshall’s funeral. (10) However, that is probably just a legend. (11) It is a fact that on February 22, 1846, the bell cracked again. (12) That crack could not be fixed. (13) The Liberty Bell has had a crack in it ever since.
Which is the most effective way to combine sentences 8 and 9?


A) Cracked again in 1835, some people say while tolling for John Marshall’s funeral.

B) Some people say the bell cracked again in 1835 while it was tolling for John Marshall’s funeral.

C) Some people say the bell cracked again in 1835 and was tolling for John Marshall’s funeral.

D) Although some people say the bell cracked again in 1835, it was tolling for John Marshall’s funeral.

Answers

Answer: B) Some people say the bell cracked again in 1835 while it was tolling for John Marshall’s funeral.

Explanation:

Option B is the best option because it most accurately phrases the facts in both sentences in saying that according to some people, the bell cracked whilst tolling for John Marshall's funeral.

The other options did not make this fact clear due to their phrasing being done in such a way that the subjects were misplaced in the sentence.
