Question 17 of 35
Finally, after 10,000 years of searching for a planet that could sustain
their species long-term, the Vulturians had found one. They had
already attacked the inhabitants and depleted the resources of 400
other worlds in their long and cruel history, and now their own kind was
on the verge of extinction.
But perhaps extinction wouldn't be their fate after all. Their needle-
shaped spaceships dropped out of hyper speed and approached the
defenseless-looking planet.
For the people of Earth, the summer morning felt the same as any
other when suddenly the sky over every major city -- from New York to
Cairo to Tokyo - became filled with needle-shaped UFOs. "We come in
peace," a deep voice shouted down from the heavens.
Which statement best explains the text's use of dramatic irony?
A. When the aliens announce that their intentions are peaceful, the
reader is aware that they are lying.
B. When the aliens announce that their intentions are peaceful, the
audience is forced to reconsider the information from earlier in the
story
C. When the Vulturians finally discover a new world they can attack,
readers are likely to understand that they are named after vultures.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The vulturians announce peace but they plunder and made 400 planets to its extinction.

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm and the passage on the history of the Soviet Union.

In glowing sentences he painted a picture of Animal Farm as it might be when sordid labour was lifted from the animals' backs. His imagination had now run far beyond chaff-cutters and turnip-slicers. Electricity, he said, could operate threshing machines, ploughs, harrows, rollers, and reapers and binders, besides supplying every stall with its own electric light, hot and cold water, and an electric heater. By the time he had finished speaking, there was no doubt as to which way the vote would go. But just at this moment Napoleon stood up and, casting a peculiar sidelong look at Snowball, uttered a high-pitched whimper of a kind no one had ever heard him utter before.

At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws. In a moment he was out of the door and they were after him. Too amazed and frightened to speak, all the animals crowded through the door to watch the chase. Snowball was racing across the long pasture that led to the road. He was running as only a pig can run, but the dogs were close on his heels. Suddenly he slipped and it seemed certain that they had him. Then he was up again, running faster than ever, then the dogs were gaining on him again. One of them all but closed his jaws on Snowball's tail, but Snowball whisked it free just in time. Then he put on an extra spurt and, with a few inches to spare, slipped through a hole in the hedge and was seen no more.

During the second half of the 1920s, Joseph Stalin set the stage for gaining absolute power by employing police repression against opposition elements within the Communist Party. The machinery of coercion had previously been used only against opponents of Bolshevism, not against party members themselves. The first victims were Politburo members Leon Trotskii, Grigorii Zinov'ev, and Lev Kamenev, who were defeated and expelled from the party in late 1927.

How does the conflict in the Animal Farm excerpt relate to the events in the historical passage?

Snowball's quick escape under the hedge is similar to how Stalin was expelled.
Snowball’s ideas about work relate to the Stalin’s efforts to gain total control.
Napoleon removes Snowball for his own purposes just as Stalin removed those in his own party.
Snowball's dream for the animals on the farm is the same as the dream of the Communist Party.

Answers

Answer:

Napoleon removes Snowball for his own purposes just as Stalin removed those in his own party.

Explanation:

"Animal farm" was written to be a great political allegory, pointing out sutuations of hypocrisy, seizure of power, inefficiency and abuse of authority between real political luders and their disastrous achievements in their countries.

This book directly refers to the history of societal union and shows how Stalin did not even consider his own allies in order to maintain his national power and dominance. This can be seen when Napoleon removes Snowball for his own purposes, just as Stalin removed those from his own party.

If you had to pick between Percy Jackson and Harry Potter, who would you pick? Also, who’s your favorite Percy Jackson character?

Answers

Answer:

I LOVE both...however, I've always had a fascination with Harry Potter....My favorite character would probably be either Luna Lovegood or Fred Weasley. In Percy Jackson....My favorite character is definitely our beloved Annabeth Chase.

Explanation:

Answer:

Nice question! I've read through and loved both franchises, but if I had to pick one, I'd definitely go with the Percy Jackson series. As a whole, every single character is fresh and brings personality to the story. The way Rick Riordan switches between POVs in the later serieses is amazing and never stops being investing. The characters are full of energy, and you don't even realize you're in deep until you can't put down the book. The whole universe is one to get lost in.

Not to mention the incredible diversity that paints each character and makes them all special (as cliché as that sounds, bear with me!). Different upbringings, nationalities, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, Riordan makes it so kids can see themselves in the heroes he writes.

I've read a comment recently that went "'Percy Jackson' is incredible in that, Percy isn't a hero who overcomes his ADHD and dyslexia, he's a hero with ADHD and dyslexia." The things that make the characters different make them strong, unique, and fun, not something that hinders them.

My favorite characters are Leo Valdez and Nico di Angelo!

Please help me I need a body paragraph 1 for the article teens are going to extremes with texting I NEED A PARAGRAPH ​

Answers

Answer: (Copied this off a website.. Hope this helps, thought :D

Explanation: The national obsession with instantaneous communication is taking a toll on teens so severe that some experts are calling it a crisis.

It's not the phenomenon of cell-phoning or messaging while driving -- both are illegal in

New Jersey

-- but all-night texting that is leaving too many teens too tired for school.

One 14-year-old New Jerseyan featured in a recent Star-Ledger story receives up to 10,000 -- 10,000! -- text messages a month. To accomplish that astounding yet not unusual feat, she interrupts her showers and stays up all night long, thumbs pumping, to read and respond to an avalanche of messages. Doctors are beginning to recognize such obsession as addiction that is robbing children of sleep at the very time in their life when they need it the most.

A well-publicized study recently found that early high school start times deprive adolescents of sleep and force students to perform academically in the early morning, a time of day when they are at their worst. Many teens are making a tough situation worse by shortchanging themselves of the time they do have to sleep. The inevitable results are poor performance, a sort of sleepwalking through classes and the day in a fog that some physicians liken to drunkenness.

According to a recent Nielsen study, 13- to 17-year-olds send or receive an average of 1,742 text messages a month -- more than seven times the average number of calls they place on their cell phones. That represents huge chunks of time dedicated to the flimsiest of patter. Here, truly, the medium is the message, and teens are loath to part with a gadget which to them seems as natural as breathing.

It's a situation made all the more challenging by the fact that these kids are among the first to have this amazing, and tempting, technology right at their fingertips; it's not likely they will set limits for themselves. They depend on their parents for rules and guidelines in all other areas of life, so it's naive to believe they will cut down on texting without some intervention.

great many adults also are addicted to devices of the new technology. In fact, there's a "Distracted Driving Summit" taking place in Washington, D.C., in which federal officials are urging the public not to text and drive in those states that haven't outlawed it. And a rehab center for the technologically dependent just opened in

state. For $14,000, clients are helped to wean themselves from obsessive use of video games, etc..

What is fiction?

Fiction is any creative work, chiefly any narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places that are imaginary, or in ways that are imaginary.

Fictional portrayals are thus inconsistent with history, fact, or plausibility. In a traditional narrow sense, "fiction" refers to written narratives in prose – often referring specifically to novels, novellas, and short stories. More broadly, however, fiction encompasses imaginary narratives expressed in any medium, including not just writings but also live theatrical performances, films, television programs, radio dramas, comics, role-playing games, and video games.

Typically, the fictionality of a work is publicly marketed and so the audience expects the work to deviate in some ways from the real world rather than presenting, for instance, only factually accurate portrayals or characters who are actual people.
