Read the paragraph from "Myths About the Founding Fathers."

Thomas Jefferson was NOT, however, the first person to introduce ice cream to the United States. Ice cream had been around for hundreds of years before Jefferson. A kind of ice cream was “invented” in China by mixing milk and rice into snow. Roman emperors used to serve flavored snow. King Charles I kept his ice cream recipe a secret from the rest of England. There’s no evidence to prove that Americans had to wait for Jefferson to come up with the idea before they could indulge in the popular treat. What was the truth? Jefferson liked to serve ice cream at his dinner parties. The rumor took off from there.

How does this paragraph fit in the overall structure of the text?

A. It describes how Jefferson's solution to a problem led to a made-up story about him.

B. It explains how stories about Jefferson have evolved over time.

C. It describes specific causes for a myth about Jefferson.

D. It compares a myth Jefferson to a real story about him.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It describes specific causes for a myth about Jefferson.

Explanation:

(I believe this is the answer, sorry if it's not!)

It explains how ice cream was created and used in other places, but some people were not familiar with it so assumed Jefferson had created it due to the fact that they discovered it because of him.

Read the excerpt passage then answer the questions below, based on the reading

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Write three sentences correctly using ‘future tenses’ to describe the future advantages and disadvantages of the Lascaux cave complex being closed in 1963.

Answers

Answer:

1. The drawings exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature.

2. Natural light would have destroyed the images by maybe deteriorating them.

3. The images made the site closed due to the damage.

Give an example of a conflict of interest. Explain why this is a problem for journalists?
random subject: english
actual subject: journalism
20 points on the line!!!

Answers

A conflict of interest involves a person or entity that has two relationships competing with each other for the persons loyalty for example the person might have a loyalty to an employer and also loyalty to family business each of their businesses excepts the persons to have its best interest first

Answer:

An example of a conflict of interest would be when a journalist writes an article about a type of juice that he/she owns the company. This is an example of conflict of interest because the journalist would be less objective when writing the article than a journalist that does not related to the juice company. This journalist would be more likely to write about how good the juice is and things that is good for his/her company. He/she would be more focus on the once side of the story. This might cause the journalist to lose his/her job because he/she only focus on one side of the story and maybe lie if the juice is not as good as he/she explained in the article.

antagonist
protagonist
foil
flat
dynamic

Answers

Answer:

Protagonist

Dynamic.

Explanation:

In a literary text, the characters always display a type of quality, be it a round character or a flat character. Such qualities makes it easy to determine the type of role they will be significantly playing in the story.

From the given passage in the question, we can know that the character of Penny is the protagonist of the story or text. A protagonist is a character who is the main figure or image on which the story revolves around. Also, she is a dynamic character in that she displays significant change in her character throughout the story.

She is not an antagonist for an antagonist character is the one who opposes the protagonist.

Again, she is not a foil character for foil characters are in opposition with the protagonist, which is impossible for she cannot be in opposition with her own self.

Lastly, she is not a flat character for she displays change in her character while flat characters don't undergo any change throughout the story.

My papa held me up to the Moo Cow Moo
So close I could almost touch,
And I fed him a couple of times or so,
And I wasn't a fraidy-cat, much.

But if my papa goes in the house,
And my mamma she goes in too,
I keep still like a little mouse
For the Moo Cow Moo might Moo.

The Moo Cow's tail is a piece of rope
All ravelled out where it grows;
And it's just like feeling a piece of soap
All over the Moo Cow's nose.

And the Moo Cow Moo has lots of fun
Just switching his tail about,
But if he opens his mouth, why then I run,
For that's where the Moo comes out.
In stanza 3, the poet's use of a metaphor suggests that-
a. You can tie up a cow with its tail
