Read this student's rough draft.

The holiday weekend driving had been slow, and Myra was cramped in the backseat with her little brothers. At least she had a window seat. She had read for 100 miles, a painfully slow three hours, and she needed a diversion. She looked out the window and watched the green mile markers slowly tick by. She saw signs for the Tri-Cities Beltway and wondered what they might encounter.

What sentence would best add descriptive details to the end of this paragraph?

A.) The Tri-Cities Beltway had been constructed to alleviate traffic for three cities, but the merge was always problematic.
B.) The car slowed to a snail’s pace, and the line of cars ahead stretched out of sight, with exhaust fumes looming overhead.
C.) Myra reached into the backseat cooler and found a sandwich and a soda her mother had packed.
D.) The Beltway was a direct path back to their town, and Myra’s family had only 35 miles left to travel.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. is the answer

Explanation:

This is because, it gives information to support the last sentence in the paragraph. If Myra sees signs for the Tri-Cities Beltway, they saying how many more miles Myra had to travel is relating to the same subject. Therefore, it makes the most sense.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2
D is the correct answer

This piece of sculpture is very different from ancient Greek carving, though it, too, is part of an old religious tradition. It is made of hard wood covered with small plates of brass and copper and comes from Gabon, a West African country that straddles the equator. It was made by the Kota, a group of tribes who worship in similar ways, and who have made figures such as this for a hundred years, and probably much longer.

Read the following excerpt from the article “Icebergs,” which was posted online by the United States Coast Guard. As you read, consider how some common words used in science texts have multiple meanings.

Much has been written about bottle-green icebergs that are sometimes seen in the Antarctic. Several mechanisms have been proposed, but the most likely explanation for the green color is the freezing of organic-rich seawater to the underwater part of the ice shelf from which the iceberg calved. The green ice is exposed after an iceberg breaks free of the shelf and rolls over.

What does the word shelf mean in this excerpt?

Group of answer choices

A)part of glacial ice

B)part of an iceberg

C)a green iceberg

D)part of the ocean

Answers

The answer I think is d. Good luck!

Part of the ocean does the word shelf mean in this excerpt. Hence, option D is correct.

What is meant by Icebergs?

The word iceberg is derived from the Dutch word ijsberg, which means "ice mountain" and is linked to the German Eisberg, the Low Saxon Iesbarg, and the Swedish isberg.

Icebergs are icebergs that have broken off from glaciers or shelf ice and are currently drifting in open water. Growlers are the colloquial term for little icebergs that only show a small portion above the surface. These icebergs have vast surfaces and can grow to heights of more than 200 feet.

According to Condron, big icebergs can be used to provide water to cities and alleviate drought conditions.

Thus, option D is correct.

The Tell-Tale Heart

Poe's narrator insists he isn't mad, though his behavior suggests otherwise. Analyze how Poe uses the point of view of this “unreliable narrator” to create a feeling of horror. What does it show about the importance of character in a horror story or movie?

Answers

Answer:

Unreliable Narrator is the one who has his credibility compromised, either by lying or by presenting a questionable sanity. By telling lies, hiding information the narrator does not act in accordance with the narrative norms of the work. However, it is difficult to measure whether the reader really understands all the norms; after all, the narrator's contradiction can only be in opposition to the reader's understanding of that fictional world.

Thus, considering a narrative as unreliable can be configured as a kind of reader strategy that directs the narrator any and all interpretive discrepancies. Therefore, to question the credibility of the narrator it is also necessary to question the individual understanding of each reader.

The unreliable narrator's procedure contributes to the works maintaining the suspense character by narrating the actions inaccurately or incorrectly. The reader is waiting for when the narrator will be unmasked by any character or at what point in the plot will be evident that the sources used by the narrator are false or false.

Explanation:

The unreliable narrator creates a sense of horror by not allowing the viewer to gain a clear picture of what is really going on in the story. From the mans perspective, everything he does is justified which creates a certain mirage of what’s right and wrong.

What does the following passage mainly reveal (paragraphs 8-9)?

Generating sections that don’t need a human-provided fuel supply would be in better shape. Geothermal plants, which are powered by the Earth’s internal heat, can run for some time without human intervention.

According to the maintenance manual for the Svartsengi Island geothermal plant in Iceland, every six months the operators must change the gearbox oil and regrease all electric motors and couplings. Without humans to perform these sorts of maintenance procedures, some plants might run for a few years, but they’d all succumb to corrosion eventually.
Answer choices for the above question

A. Although some power plants don’t require human-provided fuel, they still require human maintenance.

B. All lights would quickly go out if there were no human beings on Earth.

C. All power plants need maintenance.

D. Geothermal plants are the ideal forms of power supply on Earth.

Answers

A is the answer because I said so

The passage reveals that A. Although some power plants don’t require human-provided fuel, they still require human maintenance.

What is an inference?

This is known as a conclusion based on evidence or reasoning.

Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.

Fourteen years ago a city of 400,000 people on this side of the river heard of a projected suspension bridge with incredulity. The span was so long, the height so great, and the enterprise likely to be so costly, that few thought of it as something begun in earnest. The irresistible demands of commerce enforced these hard conditions. But Science said, "It is possible," and Courage said, "It shall be!" To-day a city of 600,000 people welcomes with enthusiasm the wonderful creation of genius. Graceful, and yet majestic, it clings to the land like a thing that has taken root. Beautiful as a vision of fairyland it salutes our sight. The impression it makes upon the visitor is one of astonishment, an astonishment that grows with every visit. No one who has been upon it can ever forget it. This great structure cannot be confined to the limits of local pride. The glory of it belongs to the race. Not one shall see it and not feel prouder to be a man.
