Read the excerpt from “The Strangers That Came to Town.” Syringa Street seemed to be a friendly street, but from the start the Duvitches were marked people. They were the one poor, struggling family in the midst of a prosperous community. It didn’t take people long to start talking about how different they were. How does the excerpt develop the setting of the story?

A) It shows that the community grows comfortable with diversity as they get to know the Duvitches.


B) It reveals that people in the community are cruel.

C) It proves that the community dislikes all outsiders.

D) It demonstrates the community is not as it appears based on the treatment of the Duvitches.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

I Do K12

HOPE YOU GET 100%!

Answer 2

The excerpt develops the setting of the story and demonstrates the community is not as it appears based on the treatment of the Duvitches. Thus, option D is correct.

What is an excerpt?

In literature, an excerpt is just a passage that is quoted from a larger work, like a book, lyric, or story. Excerpts are a great way to "display" readers what you would like them to pick up and recall about the issue, regardless of the story's issue or the style users would like to employ.

Syringa Street gave off the impression of being a welcoming avenue, yet the Duvitches were immediately singled out. It didn't take long for neighbors to realize that they had been the only striving, poor people in the middle of a rich neighborhood.

The extract describes the location of the book and shows that the town is not what it first seems from the way the Duvitches are treated.

Therefore, option D is the correct option.

Write a poem or short short story that deliberately breaks the rules of Standard Written English.

Answers

Answer:the rose will always grow but never under the moonlight

Explanation:

(1) Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks was an American poet. Her grandfather was a slave who fled slavery and later fought on the side of the Union in the Civil War. He was part of a pivotal era in American history. (2) His son married a teacher, and they resided in Kansas. The family sought the opportunities offered by a growing city and moved to Chicago when she was a baby. Gwendolyn Brooks was educated in Chicago public schools. She grew up in Chicago and stayed here for the remainder of her life. She traveled many places but always came back to Chicago. (3) Gwendolyn Brooks enjoyed the literary pursuits of reading and writing. She wrote extensively about her experiences, but she also wrote about urban lives—particularly those in Chicago. When she was just thirteen, a poem she wrote was published in a magazine. In time, she was published in the books of others, but she eventually authored entire volumes of her own poetry. She became an accomplished poet, well known in the United States and abroad. She won numerous awards for her poetry. It was not easy to get a job in writing, so Brooks worked for a while as a typist, putting the words of others in print. But she continued to write her own words, and these became important poems that inspired people throughout the world. (4) In addition to being a poet, she taught poetry to college students in the Chicago area. She taught them the importance of clarity in writing poetry. There are hundreds of people who learned from her in those classes, and several of them have gone on to write their own poetry. Most of them also read poems better because of learning from her how to look for the ideas they convey.(5) Illinois has a special role called Poet Laureate. Gwendolyn Brooks was named Illinois Poet Laureate in 1968, but this recognition didn't come until one year after she had already been named poet laureate for the whole country. She was very clear about her artistic priorities; the ideas a poet communicates—more than the prizes a poet may earn—are more important. But she earned many prizes. She is recognized today as a great poet and an important African American whose influence continues to be felt by subsequent generations. (6) When she was 83, she was diagnosed with cancer. Shortly thereafter, she died. Her death in Chicago in 2000 affected people all over the world. While countless numbers of people mourned her death, she had accomplished much in her life. She's an important part of Chicago history, African-American history, and American history, and her legacy is part of your heritage.

Answer jobs will require a college degree

“But the fact of the matter is, is that more than 60 percent of the jobs in the next decade will require more than a high school diploma -- more than 60 percent.”Explanation:i took the test

Part A: The inference that can be made regarding future jobs as per President Obama's speech:

C). jobs will require a college degree.

Part B: The detail that backs the inference to part A would be:

B). But the fact...60 percent.”

President Obama's Annual Speech

The readers can make the conclusion that in the upcoming it would be necessary for the future to possess a college degree for getting a job.

He also conveys that only a high school diploma would not work and therefore, the students need to work harder.

The description of the majority(60%) of jobs being available for college degree holders in the next decade validates the inference further logically.

Thus, options C and B are the correct answers.

Answers

C. A crab claw, which is very hard.

Scientists and researchers over the years have found that organisms with soft tissues, quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediments layer over the top and it hardens into layered rock.

I hope this helps☺️

A crab claw, which is very hard, is most likely to fossilize. Hence, option C is correct.

What is the claw of a crab?

On the ends of its two front legs, crabs have claws. These resemble pincers, a two-part instrument used to grasp objects. Crabs utilize their pincers for both combat and for grabbing and tearing apart prey, so they can consume it.

Fiddler crabs employ a series of waves and gestures to communicate; males have an enlarged claw called a chela that is used in battles of ritualized fighting to court females and express the intentions of conspecifics. Because they can be shed and renewed, a crab's claw and other limbs let it escape.

Although it has long been believed by scientists that crabs lack the biological capacity to experience pain, behavioural data has lately demonstrated that this is not the case.

Thus, option C is correct.
