Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.
Fourteen years ago a city of 400,000 people on this side of the river heard of a projected suspension bridge with incredulity. The span was so long, the height so great, and the enterprise likely to be so costly, that few thought of it as something begun in earnest. The irresistible demands of commerce enforced these hard conditions. But Science said, "It is possible," and Courage said, "It shall be!" To-day a city of 600,000 people welcomes with enthusiasm the wonderful creation of genius. Graceful, and yet majestic, it clings to the land like a thing that has taken root. Beautiful as a vision of fairyland it salutes our sight. The impression it makes upon the visitor is one of astonishment, an astonishment that grows with every visit. No one who has been upon it can ever forget it. This great structure cannot be confined to the limits of local pride. The glory of it belongs to the race. Not one shall see it and not feel prouder to be a man.

Annemarie has always been the one who comforts her younger sibling with stories of fantasy and fairy tales. Now that she is alone in the dark forests, Annemarie is the one in need of comfort. She turns to familiar legends of courage and fearlessness to reinforce her spirit. But just as she turns the bend that empties out of the harbour, she finds herself face to face with four Nazi troops.
(its more than two sentences but you can always crop my answer)
Answer:
Annemarie runs through the cold woods, thinking of the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" and of the times she's told the story to her sister as she runs. She thinks of the dangers in the woods, of soldiers. She thinks, too, of her mother and hopes her mother has called the doctor. Annemarie is almost to the harbor, running "as fast as she had at school." She continues to think about "Little Red Riding Hood," about the times she had paused before telling Kirsti "she heard a growl." Today, it is Annemarie who hears footsteps and a growl. Just then she sees four German soldiers with two big dogs standing in the path in front of her, and they look intimidating.

Read the following excerpt from the article “Icebergs,” which was posted online by the United States Coast Guard. As you read, consider how some common words used in science texts have multiple meanings.
Much has been written about bottle-green icebergs that are sometimes seen in the Antarctic. Several mechanisms have been proposed, but the most likely explanation for the green color is the freezing of organic-rich seawater to the underwater part of the ice shelf from which the iceberg calved. The green ice is exposed after an iceberg breaks free of the shelf and rolls over.
What does the word shelf mean in this excerpt?
Group of answer choices
A)part of glacial ice
B)part of an iceberg
C)a green iceberg
D)part of the ocean
Part of the ocean does the word shelf mean in this excerpt. Hence, option D is correct.
What is meant by Icebergs?The word iceberg is derived from the Dutch word ijsberg, which means "ice mountain" and is linked to the German Eisberg, the Low Saxon Iesbarg, and the Swedish isberg.
Icebergs are icebergs that have broken off from glaciers or shelf ice and are currently drifting in open water. Growlers are the colloquial term for little icebergs that only show a small portion above the surface. These icebergs have vast surfaces and can grow to heights of more than 200 feet.
According to Condron, big icebergs can be used to provide water to cities and alleviate drought conditions.
Thus, option D is correct.

Body paragraph- Along with educational wise, therapeutic has impacted society significantly. Video games have helped people with ADHD in such a great way. As stated in (source) it says "Playing games helps ADHD patients to keep their minds focused on a task."

The Tell-Tale Heart
Poe's narrator insists he isn't mad, though his behavior suggests otherwise. Analyze how Poe uses the point of view of this “unreliable narrator” to create a feeling of horror. What does it show about the importance of character in a horror story or movie?
Answer:
Unreliable Narrator is the one who has his credibility compromised, either by lying or by presenting a questionable sanity. By telling lies, hiding information the narrator does not act in accordance with the narrative norms of the work. However, it is difficult to measure whether the reader really understands all the norms; after all, the narrator's contradiction can only be in opposition to the reader's understanding of that fictional world.
Thus, considering a narrative as unreliable can be configured as a kind of reader strategy that directs the narrator any and all interpretive discrepancies. Therefore, to question the credibility of the narrator it is also necessary to question the individual understanding of each reader.
The unreliable narrator's procedure contributes to the works maintaining the suspense character by narrating the actions inaccurately or incorrectly. The reader is waiting for when the narrator will be unmasked by any character or at what point in the plot will be evident that the sources used by the narrator are false or false.
Explanation:
Which words describe a credible source?(1 point)
accurate and believable
current and popular
biased and persuasive
famous and original
Answer:Accurate and believable
Explanation:all of the other answers don't make too much sense. This one should be right
Accurate and believable words describe a credible source. Thus, option A is correct.
What is a source?A place or subject from which the data is being taken or given to us might be referred to as the source. There are two types of sources: primary and secondary. In a primary source, we learn about something from the person or viewpoint directly, whereas, in a secondary source, we learn about it from someone else indirectly.
A source can be defined as a credible source when it is called accurate or believable. It may have some kind of evidence or backup that will be able to prove it. If all sources are credible then one can easily believe them and will also try and understand them. it will have a accuracy in itself.
Therefore, option A is the correct option.

Answer:
How can we answer this without the poems and the recipes?
Explanation:
.
Answer:
"First, a story's " Tone " is how an author expresses himself. A "tone" can be angry, depressed, joyful, etc. Although using the same techniques, the authors of " A Happy Home" and " A lasting Friendship" have different tones. In " A Happy Home" the tone is happiness and joy. The author is saying this is how to get a friend. In the other poem, the author is saying this is how you keep a friend. In the poem" A Lasting friendship" the author shows how to keep a friend and have a healthy long friendship takes work. Such as it says in line 5, " And Work on it tomorrow". It's not easy, everything good in life takes work. That's what the author of this poem is trying to explain."
