Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. They did not teach things like basic economics. How to apply for jobs, write a check, etc.

2. When cheerleaders try out and they ALL make the team so no one will be disappointed.

3. The counselors don't teach kids how to cope with things. Bullying needs to stop.

4. By only teaching for a standardized test.

5. They did not teach finance/money management. Kids graduate not knowing a thing about paying bills or knowing the value of a dollar. They don't know how to budget.

6. They offer retests so you can pass when in real life you don't get do overs or second chances.

7. They don't teach social skills. Kids need to be able to get along with others not like them.

Story:

A girl was walking with her partner in the crowded streets of Swan Vile Streets. The girl, Jules, had a baton in her hand, being a Guardswomen, in her other hand was a dagger that she had kept in her hidden knife cloth under her uniform’s sleeve. She could hear the whispers and voices of the people around her.

“Her eyes are like ghosts,” one woman whispered to the man on her left. The man nodded. Jules ground her teeth, her hair dancing with the wind, narrowed her eyes to slits, hating to be acknowledged by the people around her. Don’t listen to them, just bite the bullet. Jules thought to herself as she walked through the crowd.

Once Jules walked throughout the crowded streets with her partner, they turned right to a narrow, sketchy-looking, alley. There were homeless families sitting on thin sheets of blankets, with bowls in front of them. Jules checked her purse and tossed them the spare coppers she had. When Jules turned to leave the alley, she saw more homeless families enter the alley, arguing that they should get at least a few coppers or so.

“The early bird gets the worm,” one of the fathers said to the new families that came in the valley.

“Partner, we should leave soon, if we don’t the-,” Jules said, before being hit in the back by a person. Jules whipped around and snarled when she found one of the homeless girl from the alley. Swinging her legs up and around the girl’s neck, Jules swung her legs towards her, landing on her back, then rolled until she was on top of the girl.

“Time is a thief,” The girl said, before fainting. Frowning, Jules let go of the girl, but slipped a silver coin in her sleeve before leaving with her partner to continue with her day.

"Soon we were hemmed in with trees, which in places arched right over the roadway till we passed as through a tunnel; and
again great frowning rocks guarded us boldly on either side."
Based on the context of this sentence, the phrase "hemmed in" means
A)
to be profoundly unhappy and confused.
B)
to be comforted and persuaded by someone.
to be surrounded by someone or something.
D)
to be set free and liberated from oppression.

Answers

C to be surrounded...

Based on the context of this sentence, the phrase "hemmed in" means to be surrounded by someone or something.

'Hem in' means to surround and enclose someone or something. In the above mentioned sentence, "hemmed in with trees" refers to trees on either side of the street forming an arc shape over the road which feels like a tunnel to anyone travelling by the road.

Trees naturally grow towards the direction where the get more sunlight. The clear space above the road will be brighter than the trees themselves and so the trees will grow towards it. And even if the trees didn’t actually bend, the branches on the brighter, road, side would grow faster and longer, because it is brighter and because there would be no competition for space, unlike the side facing the trees.

The correct answer is option C.

Answers

Answer:

hello

Explanation:

wanna play minecraft

Answer:

Dear Mr. Abbey,  

After reading your essay, I’ve stumbled upon a few unconvincing parts. I write this letter in hopes to help improve your writing. You have stated in your paper that the construction of roads has lessened the quality of these landmarks. Throughout studying your work, I’ve come to a few suggestions you should consider.  

To start things off, in the article you claimed that to be able to enjoy the canyon, you must be willing to hike there. In doing this, you compared people who have disabilities with being lazy. The exact term you gave them was “American slobs”. People can’t help being disabled ━ according to cdc.gov, “61 million adults in the United States live with a disability (1 in 4). 13.7% have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs''. You throwing these people off for not being able to walk this distance will only make them angry rather than convince them to agree with you. Turning the topic around, the roads are helpful to people who can’t walk the full distance. With these roads, this branches out to a new group of people, exposing them to a new area they would have never seen without this transportation.

With all this said, you can easily fix this. For example, instead of bringing the group that contains about 30% of the adult US population down; change your wording so you make it obvious that you’re on their side. Delete the harsh terms and rephrase it all. The canyons mean a great deal to you, the more people you have on your side, the more power you hold.

In conclusion, this small change will bring nothing but positivity your way. Not only this, you’d get more people to visit the canyon. Your passion is admirable, and in removing the negativity towards this group of people, more will agree. I thank you for your time in reading this letter, and I hope you consider my recommendation.  

Sincerely,

{insert name}

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai.

They found themselves seated on benches before a table, with their legs swinging under them.

“You see,” Goemon whispered to Manjiro, “the torture has begun.”

It wasn’t torture, exactly, but it wasn’t very comfortable, either.

“Look at your legs hanging there,” Goemon said.

“It is a strange way to sit!” Manjiro agreed.

“If you were a real samurai, you would commit seppuku now, rather than wait to be humiliated by the barbarians,” Goemon said.

“Maybe they won’t humiliate us,” Manjiro said hopefully.

At this, Goemon simply grunted.

What does the dialogue teach readers about Manjiro’s attitude toward the barbarians?

A. He believes they will be as cruel as expected.
B. He believes they may be kinder than expected.
C. He believes they are completely harmless.
D. He believes they have started torturing him.

Shane felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped up to see who it was. Nothing could prepare him for what he saw. The creature in front of him was horrible. It had two heads, and four eyes on each. The monster was tall and thin, much bigger than Shane.
“Who are you and what are you doing in my room?” Shane shrieked, but the creature just shook its head. The monster put its giant hand on his forehead. Moments later Shane was fast asleep, and the creature slowly left his room. The next morning he tried to think back on how this peculiar thing looked, but all of his memories felt like a blur.
