Religious believers should not eat meat (12 mark)
......
It's not sinful for Christians to eat meat, as Scripture teaches, "every creature of God is good, and nothing's to be rejected." However, the Bible begins with the story of our ancestors losing Paradise by neglecting to fast as the Lord commanded. Jesus, on the other hand, began his public ministry by fasting for forty days. He also instructs us that fasting combined with prayer is very powerful, and says, "When you fast, anoint your head and wash your face." In the first century, the Apostles established fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays to honor Jesus who taught that "man shall not live by bread alone." Orthodox Christians continue this custom joyfully, recognizing the benefits of fasting as the Church calls us, and recognizing the unity and interaction between body and soul. In this way we grow by learning to experience that it's Christ who is ultimately our true food.
EATING ANIMALS CONTRARY TO PITY AND COMPASSION
Animal food is not forbidden, but Abdu'l-Bahá says: "Fruits and grains [will be the foods of the future]. The time will come when meat will no longer be eaten. Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground." The killing of animals and the eating of their meat is somewhat contrary to pity and compassion, and if we can content our self with cereals, fruit, oil and nuts, such as pistachios, almonds and so on, it would be better and more pleasing. Man can live on a purely vegetarian diet and thus avoid killing animals. Meat, however, is nourishing and contains the elements of herbs, seeds and fruits; therefore sometimes it is essential for the sick and for the rehabilitation of health. Vegetarianism is a controversial question, Bahá'ís are free to follow their own conscience.
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
The Jews during Jesus' day followed strict dietary guidelines because they believed that abstaining from certain foods honored God. But Jesus completely debunked this by saying, "What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them" (Matthew 15:11). The Apostle Paul agrees with this. "I am convinced ... that nothing is unclean in itself ... all food is clean" (Romans 14:14 and 19).
Thus, the Bible teaches that choosing to be a vegetarian makes no difference to God. Some may become vegetarians for health reasons. But eating vegetables does not honor God more than eating meat.
We are warned in Scripture that "in later times" false spiritual teachers will forbid people from eating certain foods. But God's Word assures us that "everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving." (1 Timothy 4:4).
VEGETARIANISM IS RELIGIOUSLY REQUIRED
Most religious people are not vegetarians. One could argue they should be. Most religions involve a commandment such as "thou shall not kill," and all religions exalt the virtue of compassion. Such requirements suggest that members of those religions should be vegetarians. It is impossible to partake of a filet of beef without someone having killed an animal. So, eating the steak morally implicates the eater in the killing of the animal. To avoid this problem one must claim that the commandment "not to kill" really means "not to murder," and that murder applies only to thinking beings. But it is no longer clear where on the spectrum of life thinking emerges. The religious requirement for compassion also supports vegetarianism because no killing of any living thing is essentially compassionate. But surely vegetables are also living things before they are harvested. Albert Schweitzer quipped "the only moral alternative is starvation."

This paragraph is from a diary account that describes what it was like for people traveling on boats from Europe to America in the eighteenth century.
Add to this want of provisions, hunger, thirst, frost, heat, dampness, anxiety, want, afflictions and lamentations, together with other trouble, as e.g., the lice abound so frightfully, especially on sick people, that they can be scraped off the body. The misery reaches a climax when a gale rages for two or three nights and days, so that every one believes that the ship will go to the bottom with all human beings on board. In such a visitation the people cry and pray most piteously.

what is a background information and give an example
Answer:
Information you already knew or info that relates to your topic pre-hand
Explanation:
Answer:
Background Information
Background information is information given in a non-fiction essay/text that the reader needs in order to understand the overall theme of the text or point the writer is attempting to make.
Background information is often provided after the hook, or opening statement that is used to grab the reader's attention. The type and amount of background information provided by the writer will depend on the purpose and topic of the essay. The writer may need to provide some definitions, or perhaps an overview of the problem being addressed in the essay.
Examples of Background Information:
In his inaugural speech at Rice University, John F. Kennedy spoke about the space race and going to the moon. This is just some of the background information he included in his speech about the pace of progress and human history:
No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man¹s recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power.
As he began his "I have a Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Martin Luther King, Jr. provided some historical context for the fight for freedom:
Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree is a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free.
Abraham Lincoln began "The Gettysburg Address" with the hook that the founding fathers espoused that all men are created equal. Then he provided this background information about the current context of the Civil War:
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial.
(1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars.
Which revision would most improve sentence 7?
A. suggesting an alternative plan to replace the current school calendar
B. explaining why the current school calendar is outdated and inefficient
C. expressing an opinion about those who oppose changing the calendar
D. restating the strongest piece of evidence used to support the claim

Music Requirements
Daveed Trellis
Most schools have some sort of fine arts elective requirement that students must complete in order to graduate.
Students often take music appreciation or drawing or sometimes even dance. I believe, however, that all public
Schools should require students to learn to play at least one musical instrument instead of allowing them to take
any art elective. I have many reasons for suggesting this graduation requirement. First and foremost, I believe
that students should be required to learn to play a musical instrument because it is fun.
Which sentence would add an effective supporting detail to this argument?
Practicing an instrument can be a tedious and repetitive task for the person
learning to play
Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument improves a
person's ability to memorize material
Musical instruments are very expensive to purchase, and sometimes
parents have to purchase instruments on payment plans.
Parents often complain about having to listen to misplayed notes and
