What is a Competition?

Competition is a competition in which two or more parties work toward an unshareable objective; one party's success is the other's loss. Entities such as organisms, people, economic and social organizations, etc. may engage in competition.

In a situation of competition, two or more individuals or groups are vying for an advantage that not everyone can have. The race for the title has been quite competitive. Synonyms: conflict, struggle, resistance, and rivalry more words for competition. Countless noun

A relationship between organisms known as competition is harmful to both of them. When two organisms compete for the same natural resource, such as food or land, this might occur. The struggle between creatures to find a mate is a typical example.

.Answer choices for the above question

Scene 1
[Lights up at a large home improvement store. Dad and Will are loading up on wood, nails, paint, and more. ]

DAD: Plywood, two-by-fours, paint, shingles for the roof, carpeting. ...What else do we need?

WILL: We need stuff to make it weatherproof, and some kind of insulation. And landscaping material.

DAD: Will, there’s no need to landscape. No one’s going to see it behind the house.

WILL: They’ll see it, Dad. It’s their new home—their first home—and it should look good when they get here. They need bushes and grass just like everyone else—more than everyone else. This has to be perfect or they won’t be allowed to live with us.

DAD: Okay, grass and bushes, but later. We have to build this thing first. [He shakes his head in disbelief, but smiles. ]I knew that fostering would be hard work, but this is a ton of effort. Who knew that a couple of little ones would need so much room?

WILL: They can be in the family room with us most of the time, but they need their own space, too. Just like me and Davis. Hey—we need paintbrushes. Davis destroyed ours when he made that volcano for school. [They exit left, happily, as the lights go down. ]

Scene 2
[Lights up in a backyard. The building supplies now litter the stage: sawhorses, electric tools, hammers, and an overflowing toolbox. Will and Dad have built a number of large, flat, square shapes out of plywood. The shapes are scattered about in disarray. ]

WILL: But you said you wanted pliers, Dad—

DAD: Long-nosed pliers, Will. I need to hold this little pin, and I can’t get my fingers in the—

WILL: Here they are—but you could use a screwdriver—

DAD: Got it! Okay, so why don’t we put the floor here? We have to put that in place before we build the walls.

[They carry and then set down a flat piece that has short legs on each corner, making a platform. ]

DAD: Perfect. Now for the walls.

WILL: Are you sure we’re doing this right?

DAD: Pretty sure. [Dad drags another heavy, flat piece of plywood, grunting as he moves it. ]Once we attach the walls, all we have to do is the roof. Pshew. Will—help me with this. You have to hold it upright.

[Dad works to secure the wall. ]

DAD: Great! Only three more and a roof left to go. We have to hustle, though. The little ones are coming home in only a few hours. Will, this is a lot of responsibility, being a foster family. You and your brother will have to step up to the plate and help take care of these little guys. Are you sure you and Davis are ready for this?

WILL: Of course. It was our idea, Dad, remember? We’ll help feed them and bathe them and teach them everything. It’ll be fine .

DAD: Okay. Hand me a new drill bit—I broke the last one in this first wall. No, not those, the thinner ones. No, not those. ...

[They continue to struggle with the building as the lights go down. ]

Scene 3
[Lights up as Dad and Will stand center stage, close together to block the sight of their finished project. Will yells and waves to Mom and Davis offstage right. ]

WILL: We’re back here!

DAVIS: [He enters, leading a large, curly-haired dog. ]Wait until you see them—I love them already! They couldn’t wait to come home and—you built them a doghouse!

WILL: ta-DA! [Will reveals the doghouse. ]

DAVIS: That’s awesome!

MOM: Here they are! [Mom enters with a large box, the top open. She sets it down carefully. ]Now, remember, the puppies are here only until they get adopted into forever homes. As foster parents, we have to teach them how to be good dogs and then say goodbye to them when the time comes.

WILL: [Lifting out a puppy. ]Come see your new home! [Pauses and looks at the doghouse. ]Uh, Dad? We forgot to make a door!!

The good boy behaved well.(underline the adverb in the sentense)​

Answers

Answer:

well

Explanation:

Well is the adverb in this example. Well is the adverb for good, the word good is an adjective.

The good boy behaved well.

In English language, an adverb can be defined as a word that is used to modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb in a sentence. Some examples are slowly, quickly, brightly, sadly, promptly, etc.

Additionally, there are six (6) main types of adverbs and these includes;

I. Adverb of time.

II. Adverb of frequency.

III. Adverb of place.

IV. Adverb of manner.

V. Adverb of reason.

VI. Adverb of intensity.

In this scenario, the adverb "well" is used to modify the action (a verb) of the boy, which is his behavior. Thus, it was used to describe the degree or extent to which the boy's behavior was.

In conclusion, well is an example of an adverb of intensity which describes the degree of an action or something.

Answers

We as readers don’t believe if we should trust Nick Caraway or not. He apparently has tried to be as truthful as possible which hasn’t seemed to work out for him. He begins to tells us right away that he has an uncanny ability to reserve judgment and get people to trust him, which encourages us to see him as a reliable narrator. At the same time, he also says “I am one of the few honest people I have ever known.” His very need to describe himself this way makes the reader question how much Nick can actually be trusted.

Essay writing about you been offered into a senior high school to persure a programme which you do not like Write a letter to the headmaster stating two reasons why you don't like the programme

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Dear Headmaster,

Following the recently concluded admission process conducted in your school, I was offered admission to pursue a science programme. However, I do not like to study science programme, and here are my reasons;

Personally, it has always been my dream to become a historian. My love for history began right from elementary school. I enjoy current affairs and historical facts. Not only that, I am only top of the class when it comes to history and social studies-related subjects. And I believe it is in my interest and advantage to pursue arts or history rather than a science programme.

Also, while I have always passed Mathematics with a little above-average score, I do find it hard to connect. I do not find numbers and formulas easy to comprehend especially complex mathematical models. And given that Mathematics is an essential subject in any science programme at this stage, I do not want to set myself up for failure or constant struggles throughout my study years.

Hence, for me not to come out with an average grade at best, I believe the best for me is to pursue an art or history-related programme rather than a science programme.

Please consider my reasons and change the offered programme to my desired choice.

Thanks.

Yours faithfully,

This was a stormy day, and It was at night during the fourth of July. This happened two years ago, at my house. My mom and my older brother decided to walk to my aunts house, not far away from our house. She decided to let me and my younger brother stay home and play with legos. As me and my brother were playing we heard something outside, We thought it was just nothing big, or maybe it was the sound of fireworks. We decided to continue playing. A few minutes later we heard the noise again. I decided to check it out. I went over to the windows and look outside, I saw someone outside, and was on our front yard just standing there. My brother got up from playing with the lego's and walked over to where I was standing. When he saw the man, he whimpered. I had an idea to run out of the house and run to my aunt's house. I told my brother the idea, and he nodded in agreement. I took my brother's hand, and walked him out of the back door that led to the side of the house. I locked the door from the inside and started running to my aunt's house while holding my brother's hand. Till that day, we never saw the man again.

The story "Hans in Luck" by the Brothers Grimm revolves around the main character's personality. The character Hans easily believes what others tell him. That means Hans is a gullible person. Which line in this excerpt from the story supports the idea that Hans is gullible?

Answers

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. The excerpt is as follows:

Seven long years he had worked hard for his master. At last he said, "Master, my time is up; I must go home and see my poor mother once

more: so pray pay me my wages and let me go." And the master said, "You have been a faithful and good servant, Hans, so your pay shall be  handsome." Then he gave him a lump of silver as big as his head.

Hans took out his pocket-handkerchief, put the piece of silver into it, threw it over his shoulder, and jogged off on his road homewards. As he  went lazily on, dragging one foot after another, a man came in sight, trotting gaily along on a capital horse.

"Ahl" said Hans aloud, "what a fine thing it is to ride on horseback! There he sits as easy and happy as if he was at home, in the chair by his  fireside; he trips against no stones, saves shoe-leather, and gets on he hardly knows how."

Hans did not speak so softly but the horseman heard it all, and said, "Well, friend, why do you go on foot then?"

“Ah!" said he. "I have this load to carry: to be sure it is silver, but it is so heavy that I can't hold up my head, and you must know it hurts my  shoulder sadly."

"What do you say of making an exchange?" said the horseman. “I will give you my horse, and you shall give me the silver, which will save you a  great deal of trouble in carrying such a heavy load about with you."

"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about  with you."

However, the horseman got off, took the silver, helped Hans up, gave him the bridle into one hand and the whip into the other, and said,

"When you want to go very fast, smack your lips loudly together, and cry Jip!"

Answer:

The line that supports the idea that Hans is gullible is:

"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about  with you."

Explanation:

A gullible person is someone who can be easily persuaded to believe something. In the excerpt above, we can see that Hans is a gullible man. He does not see through the man's kind words. He does not realize that the man knows very well the silver is much more valuable than the horse. Hans believes in the man's kindness and is even sorry that the man will have to carry such a heavy piece of silver with him after giving Hans his horse. The line that supports that idea is:

"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about  with you."
