Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
I was powerful glad to get away from the feuds, and so was Jim to get away
from the swamp. We said there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do
seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't.
This excerpt provides an example of a(n)
oxymoron
allusion
hyperbole
paradox
The correct answer is D. Paradox.
Explanation
A paradox is a term to refer to an idea logically contradictory or opposed to the general consideration of what is considered true. According to the above, the fragment is a paradox because the author refers to the boat as a "home". In addition, he expresses "Other places seem so crowded and suffocating, but a raft does not", which could be considered a logically contradictory idea because a raft is very small or suffocating in size. So the correct answer is D. Paradox.

Hello Jake,
What is up homie. A lot has happened since you've been gone. I got offered a job at a marketing company. They offered me a payment of 150 grand a year. Also I have won the lottery if you didn't see it on the news. Im just kidding though I wish I had won the lottery. I'm glad to be talking to you right now bro because I got two tickets for a ballgame and I was wondering if you wanted to come along with me. It is two teams that primarily hit lots of homers so it should be an action-packed game. I'd adore for you to get back to me as soon as possible and I would be totally hyped if you could come along.
Your Best Friend,
Johnny

Read the excerpt below. Write a summary of the setting. Your summary should include the three elements of setting and textual evidence.
The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky
Written by Stephen Crane
The great Pullman (a Pullman is a term for a luxury railway car) was whirling onward with such dignity of motion that a glance from the window seemed simply to prove that the plains of Texas were pouring eastward. Vast flats of green grass, dull-hued spaces of mesquite and cactus, little groups of frame houses, woods of light and tender trees, all were sweeping into the east, sweeping over the horizon, a precipice. A newly married pair had boarded this coach at San Antonio. The man's face was reddened from many days in the wind and sun, and a direct result of his new black clothes was that his brick-colored hands were constantly performing in a most conscious fashion. From time to time he looked down respectfully at his attire. He sat with a hand on each knee, like a man waiting in a barber's shop. The glances he devoted to other passengers were furtive and shy. The bride was not pretty, nor was she very young. She wore a dress of blue cashmere, with small reservations of velvet here and there and with steel buttons abounding. She continually twisted her head to regard her puff sleeves, very stiff, straight, and high. They embarrassed her. It was quite apparent that she had cooked, and that she expected to cook, dutifully. The blushes caused by the careless scrutiny of some passengers as she had entered the car were strange to see upon this plain, under-class countenance, which was drawn in placid, almost emotionless lines. They were evidently very happy. "Ever been in a parlor-car before?" he asked, smiling with delight. "No," she answered, "I never was. It's fine, ain't it?" "Great! And then after a while we'll go forward to the diner and get a big layout. Finest meal in the world. Charge a dollar."

I wake up by eight every day.
w
A. Exclamatory
B. Optative
C. Declarative
D. Imperative
Answer:
C. Declarative.
Explanation:
A declarative sentence is one that simply states or declares an opinion. In other words, a declarative sentence is one that expresses a statement or an opinion.
The given sentence "I wake up by eight every day" is a declarative sentence. It expresses the simple statement or a declaration of the speaker that he/she wakes up by 8 every day.
It is not an exclamatory sentence as it doesn't exclaim anything nor does it contain the exclamatory mark (!).
Again, it is not an optative sentence as it doesn't express a desire or an opinion.
Also, it is not an imperative sentence as it does not demand or express a command.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

A causal speech format is virtually identical to a problem-cause-solution format.
True
False
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Text structure can be defined as words used to describe how a writer or an author organizes his or her words in a literary work.
A causal speech format is a type of speech in which the speaker uses a cause and effect relationship to express his ideas or communicate with the audience. Thus, it's a speech that comprises of two (2) main points: cause of a problem and the effect of the problem.
On the other hand, a problem-cause-solution format is a type of speech which involves describing a problem, identifying the probable cause of the problem and lastly proffering a solution to the problem.
In view of the above definitions, we can infer or deduce that a causal speech format is virtually identical to a problem-cause-solution format because in both organizational structure, the speaker highlights or identifies the cause of a problem.

what is the best fast food restaurants no wrong answers
Answer:
hi
Explanation:
i think it is Mc donald's or KFC
have a great day
Answer:
in and out, objectively
Explanation:
There are three catagories overall which make a solid fast food chain:
- Food quality
- Employee satisfaction
- Menu
So lets look through all three catagories:
Food Quality
In and out has been slow to expand towards the central United States, primarily due to difficulties in the supply lines. In and Out has a policy of not freezing, pre packaging, or microwaving their food, whether that be their potatos, or their meat. This has had a positive effect on their food quality, as customers consistantly express satisfaction with the quality of the ingredients. This is more than likely the primary advantage In and Out has over many other fast food restaurants, which cut corners by freezing, pre packaging, microwaving, etc.
Employee Satisfaction
It's difficult for a Fast Food chain to serve quality food if the people serving it aren't happy. In and Out recognizes this as well, and consequentially ensures that their employees are satisfied. At least in my home state of California, where the majority of locations are, In and Out has a starting salary of just over $15, with managers and owners of well performing locations able to make over 100k every year. This has lead to In and Out maintaining one of the highest rates of employee retention in the entire fast food industry. Strong employee retention results in a more experienced workforce, which furthur improves both the quality of the food and the efficency with which the food is made.
Menu
Upon initial inspection, In and Out's comparitively small menu of 9 items (only 4 food items) may seem like a drawback, not a benefit. Even factoring in the "secret" menu, it doesn't quite compare to the sheer size of the menus of giants like McDonalds or Taco Bell. However, it's important to remember that the size of the menu doesn't matter after the order is placed; no matter how many items are on the menu, you'll only get the ones you ordered. More often than not, the vast majority of people have the exact same order almost every time they enter a fast food establishment. If this is the case, then why bother complicating the menu with items nobody even orders? For example. the Big Mac is the second most popular order at McDonalds, with 70 million orders in 2018, only falling behind french fries. However, comparing the frequency of Big Mac orders to other burger orders, we begin to see order numbers drop at a logarithmic rate. This means that the 6-7 most ordered items make up to 70% of the profit. In and Out takes this idea to its logical extreme, by cutting its menu as short as it can, and perfecting the food it makes.
