Explanation:

Buddhism refers to a religion of the Indian people and it is considered to be a way of life through committed meditations. Buddhism began in India then spread east into Tibet, China and then northeast and south through pilgrims.

Generally, Buddhism is focused on the following philosophies;

I. Samsara: beliefs on the cycle of death and rebirth.

II. Dharma: beliefs on duties or ethics.

Karma: beliefs that there are consequences for every action or intents.

III. Moksha: beliefs on salvation or the liberation from death and rebirth cycle.

IV. Artha: beliefs on being prosperous.

V. Kama: beliefs on desires and passion as an aim of humanity.

Buddhism is a religion that teaches people about the spiritual principles of cause and effects such that an individual's action or intent in the previous life influences their life in the future (rebirth). This is explicitly explained by the Karma theory of Buddhism, it states that the circumstances an individual is experiencing in his or her (present) life is as a result of their actions in the previous life.

Furthermore, Nirvana is a Buddhist terminology used to describe the highest state of mind that a human being is capable of attaining. Thus, it is a profound state of well-being in which the mind is awakened, devoid of any defilement, entirely at peace, and is free from bondage or suffering.

In Buddhism, the task of studying, clarifying, and expounding (explain, spell out or discuss at length) doctrines is typically the responsibility of a literate, educated elite.

Read the passage and if you get it right I will give you brainliest!!!
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in approximately 1818. After several unsuccessful attempts, Douglass escaped from slavery and eventually settled in Massachusetts. In 1845, he wrote his first autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, which had a profound influence on the movement to abolish slavery. Harriet Jacobs was born in North Carolina in 1813. Like Douglass, Jacobs was born into slavery. She eventually escaped and settled in New York. Also like Douglass, she wrote an autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, which revealed the horrors of life under slavery. Both Douglass and Jacobs went on to become vocal supporters of the antislavery movement.
What is the main idea of the passage?
Fredrick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs both escaped from slavery in the 1800s.

The antislavery movement wouldn't have existed without autobiographies like Fredrick Douglass and Harriet Jacob's.

Fredrick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs both wrote important autobiographies about their experiences of slavery.

"The Charge of the Light Brigade"

by Alfred Lord Tennyson


Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

Yesterday my friend Ana and I went downtown to go shopping. The streets were filled with people, and traffic was at a standstill. There were reporters and police officers everywhere I looked. Suddenly, Ana grabbed my hand and pointed down the block. "Look at that!” she exclaimed. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing—a giant elephant was walking down Broadway! Just then my phone rang. "Jana!” my mom yelled through the phone. "Be careful, there’s an elephant on the loose!” "Don’t worry, Mom,” I said, "it’s headed the other way.” Later, we learned that the elephant had been returned safely to the circus in time for Saturday’s performance.

Who would be the best primary source to interview about this event?

a member of the circus

Read the passage.
Alaska sometimes gets a bad rap. People say that it is cold and that it is expensive. Parts of the state do lie in the Arctic Circle, after all, and
seldom get above freezing. But the climate varies from region to region. Anchorage, for example, is relatively mild, with temperatures ranging from
20 °F to 65 °F, depending on the time of year. It is also true that parts of the state
are ranked among the most expensive places to live in the United
States. Ebenezer Scrooge, the wealthy miser from Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol, might not fare well in Alaska. However, employment is
easy to find. Many people in Alaska earn their living in mining and fishing industries, but petroleum drives the economy and is the single most
important product. In addition, the tourist industry is thriving. It serves as an additional source of jobs for Alaskans and brings in over $1 billion,
which is a boost to the state economy.
What is the effect of the underlined sentence?
O 1. It emphasizes that it is costly to live in Alaska.
02. It highlights that it is easy to find a job in Alaska.
03. It suggests that some people think it is too cold in Alaska.
04. It reveals that some people have incorrect ideas about Alaska.

Read the following excerpt from "Why I Wrote 'The Passage'" and answer the question that follows.

|Once Monty existed, the story mostly told itself, as stories often do if you get out of| |the way and let them. The games in the story--Life, Risk, Monopoly, checkers--come| |from "Man in the Moon" (track 10), as does the name Andi; the Northwest Passage| |from "Find the River" (track 12); the final moment in some complicated sense |
|from "Sweetness Follows" (track 6). All this I understand. What puzzles me is why my| |mind went back to that day in the spring of fifth grade--why that moment? That's a | |mystery. But here's a guess: it had something to do with that laugh, my friend turning| |around to correct me, my ten-year-old self still needing to make things right in some| |quiet way. Writing is useful at these times. Here, you sometimes say to a younger| |version of you, take this--it will help.|

What lesson can other writers learn from Martin and his writing of "The Passage?"


The best thing a writer can do is plan out every aspect of the story.

Writing can be a powerful experience to work through struggles in life.

The only way to write a good story is to use an event from your childhood.

Basing a story on music is a great way to get ideas flowing.

The War of the Worlds

by H. G. Wells [1898]

But who shall dwell in these worlds if they be

inhabited?…Are we or they Lords of the

World?…And how are all things made for man?—

KEPLER (quoted in The Anatomy of Melancholy)


BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANS

CHAPTER ONE: THE EVE OF THE WAR, excerpt


No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.


Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end.


The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.


And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.


What key idea does the text below suggest?


The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts.


As their situation grew worse, their course became clear and they lost any compassion.

The growing doom consumed all their power to confront it.

Their immediate needs made them more intelligent than they had been before.

Their intelligence gave them less compassion than less intelligent others.
