While many parents feel that pet ownership is a hassle, they need to realize that children who care for pets earn better grades in school and develop personal responsibility much faster than kids who don't have pets. The benefits of having a family pet far outweigh the headaches that pet ownership can bring. Children learn the value of dependability as they feed, water, and care for a family pet. In addition, their growth in responsibility leads them to become more responsible in the classroom, which benefits parents, teachers, and fellow classmates. All in all, caring for a pet teaches children how to better care for themselves.

Answers

Answer: 280 miles

Explanation:

The actual distance between the two cities will be represented by x. Based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation will be:

5/7 = 200/x

Cross multiply

5 × x = 200 × 7

5x = 1400

x = 1400/5

x = 280

Therefore, the actual distance is 280 miles.

"Let me remind you," Barney Northrup said, "the rent here is cheaper than what your old house costs in upkeep."
How would he know that, Jake wondered.
Grace stood before the front window where, beyond the road, beyond the trees, Lake Michigan lay calm and glistening. A lake view! Just wait until those so-called friends of hers with their classy houses see this place. The furniture would have to be reupholstered; no, she'd buy new furniture—beige velvet.
A. First Person B. Second Person C. Third Person Limited D. Third Person Omniscient.

Answers

Answer: D. Third Person Omniscient.

Explanation:

A third person omniscient view refers to when the narrator tells the story from a perspective where they can see and know everything that is going on with every single character in the play. This allows the reader to know much more than the characters do.

In this passage, the narrator is able to jump from the direct speech of Mr. Northrup to the thoughts of Jake and then the thoughts of Grace as well which means the narrator knows what is going on with all of them and so is using an omniscient view.

Read the passage from chapter 14 of The Prince.

A prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank.

And, on the contrary, it is seen that when princes have thought more of ease than of arms they have lost their states. And the first cause of your losing it is to neglect this art; and what enables you to acquire a state is to be master of the art. Francesco Sforza, through being martial, from a private person became Duke of Milan; and the sons, through avoiding the hardships and troubles of arms, from dukes became private persons. For among other evils which being unarmed brings you, it causes you to be despised, and this is one of those ignominies against which a prince ought to guard himself, as is shown later on.

What type of evidence does Machiavelli use to support his claim that a prince should have no aim other than war and its rules and discipline?

anecdotal evidence

1. What statement is not true?
A.A refrain is like the chorus in a song.
B.A ballad often features a refrain.
C.A refrain is a regularly repeated line or group of lines.
D.An epic poem almost always features a refrain.

Answers

Answer: D. An epic poem almost always features a refrain.

Explanation:

A refrain is indeed like a chorus in a song because it usually repeats in a poem especially after every stanza which is much like a chorus in a song. Refrains are usually included in ballads such that they are repeated after each stanza as already mentioned. Based on the above, options A. B and C are true.

An epic poem on the other hand, rarely includes refrains. This is because such poems are more like stories that narrate the adventures of famous characters. Repeating lines would not advance the story so refrains are avoided.

sentence 3= first piece of evidence (make sure you are not using an extremely long quote/they look bad)

sentence 4/5 = the sentences explaining how or why your evidence proves your point (use a transition to explain what exactly about this example is connecting to your claim. Don't announce - I believe/ Hello my name is/ In my opinion)

sentence 6 = evidence 2 (try to change up the type of evidence to give your response some variety. Meaning if you started with a quote then bring in some paraphrasing or try paraphrasing and quoting together.)

sentence 7/8 = the sentences explaining how or why your evidence proves your point (make sure at this point to start working in how this second example not only proves your point but how it connects with the previous example to further your point as well.)

otherwise sentence 9 = the conclusion (reword your claim using a transition that tells the reader you are wrapping things up. Don't create an entirely new claim by rewording too much)
