The door of Scrooge’s counting-house was open that he might keep his eye upon his clerk, who in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk’s fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he couldn’t replenish it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room; and so surely as the clerk came in with the shovel, the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part.

Read the sentence from the section "Don't Be Too Critical of Yourself,"

When we cope well with stress, we're also less likely to reach for unhealthy short-term coping mechanisms.

How does this detail develop the author's central idea?


It supports the idea that stress is really unhealthy by explaining some of its negative aspects.


By explaining a negative affect of not being self-compassionate, the author supports the idea that being kind to yourself is healthy.


It complements the idea that self-compassion is good for you by providing a positive aspect of it.


Because stress can be relieved by mindfulness, it provides a reason to practice it.

Read the two excerpts below. The first one is from Captain John Smith's personal account of his rescue by Pocahontas, and the second one is from the children's book The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith published in 1906. Notice how the two accounts differ.


They were ready with their clubs to beat out his brains when Pocahontas, the King's dearest daughter, when no begging could prevail, took his head in her arms, and laid her own head upon his to save him from death.

--from John Smith's personal accounts


But just as the Indian brave was about to strike, his great war club swinging high in the air, Pocahontas rushed forward and threw herself between him and his victim. With her own body she shielded the Captain from harm, for her heart was moved to pity for the stranger, and she could not bear that he should die.

--from The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith


What is the BEST way to describe how these two accounts differ?


Smith's account includes details about why Pocahontas intervened; the children's book does not


Smith's original account lacks emotions; the children's story attributes emotions to Pocahontas


Smith's account indicates exactly what Pocahontas said; the children's book leaves this part out


Smith's original account is full of emotion; the children's story is lacking in emotion

Plz Help I will give brainiest

PLEASE ANSWER!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST if you answer properly!!!!!!! Authors may write primarily to provide entertainment, and hopefully, you did enjoy reading A Christmas Carol. However, authors typically also include ideas that will challenge a reader in their stories, even the entertaining ones. Dickens is no different in that he had a clear message in writing this story. Write a paragraph explaining what you think Dickens wants the reader to learn from this story. You will show this message by citing textual evidence (referring to scenes or events from the story or using quotes) that supports what you think Dickens wants his reader to learn. Also, explain if you think the message matches the teachings of Scripture. If so, include a specific Bible reference and explain why you chose it. Anytime you cite textual evidence, you must include a parenthetical citation and create a work cited entry. max 10% of writing should be quoted Your paragraph should be between 150 and 300 words. will put Christmas carol in the comments.

Read the excerpt below and then answer the question that follows:



It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark—only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried—not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind—and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.

When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural—rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.

Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.

"Oh, yes—it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."

Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"

The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope—then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.

"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."

"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."

The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.

But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"

The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.

"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."

It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.

So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.

And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.

"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

Which sentence from the passage supports the idea that the problem of being faced with lots of unhealthy food choices pertains to many people?

Look at this section of the poem "White-Eyes."

all the singing is in
the tops of the trees
where the wind-bird

with its white eyes
shoves and pushes
among the branches.

he wants to go to sleep,
but he's restless—
he has an idea,
and slowly it unfolds

This section of the poem is a good example of how

each line of a poem can be a complete sentence.
all parts of a poem can be about different topics.

Rewrite the following formal sentence in a more conversational style. This may require the use of more than
one sentence. Make changes to both sentence structure and word choices.


It ill becomes us to cast about for someone to blame, to flee unpleasant realities,
or to hide the clear facts in a cloud of finger-pointing-we must take responsibility.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.

—“The Man in the Arena,”
Theodore Roosevelt
