Answer:
zealous means having and or showing zeal
Explanation:
dank unpleasant; dark unpleasantly moist From the context, I understood that the night is unpleasant to some extent. It is a “tropical night,” which explains why it is moist or humid.
palpable intensely felt evident; readily seen Because the night is described as a “dank, palpable night that presses its warm blanket against the yacht,” I thought palpable meant “hot,” but when I checked the dictionary definition, I realized it could contextually mean “intensely felt.”
doggedly determinedly with persistence Because I read that “Rainsford swam doggedly,” I realized he did it with determination.
ardent enthusiastic passionate When I read that Zaroff’s father was an ardent sportsman, I realized that it meant he was enthusiastic.
scruples principles morals, principles Zaroff says that Rainsford’s scruples are ill-founded when he calls Zaroff a murderer, which is why I thought that scruples meant principles.
ennui feeling tired boredom When Zaroff gets bored of hunting, he says he is afflicted by ennui. So I figured this word meant being tired of or bored of something.
zealous passionate extremely passionate or enthusiastic When I read that Zaroff is a zealous hunter, I guessed that the word meant passionate because so much of the story is about his love of hunting.
uncanny strange mysterious The general could follow Rainsford’s trail even at night, which made me think uncanny meant “strange” or “supernatural.”
mocking making fun of ridiculing; contemptuous The trap Rainsford sets for the general is not successful, which makes the general mock him, so I assumed it meant “to make fun of.”
placid relaxed calm; pleasant Since placid was used to describe a pastime, I assumed it meant “relaxed and easygoing.”

Answer:

Explanation:
Which is more important: freedom or security? Do you believe there is a way to have both freedom and
security when it comes to speech? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.
Answer:
National security is an essential factor of any functioning society, but freedom is just as important.After 9/11, security in America was taken to a new level with increased airport safety procedures, a stronger border control, and new security acts being passed.The government did need to take action, such as enforcing stricter airport regulations to better monitor who enters the country. However, they did not need to infringe on American freedoms that were fought so hard for during the Revolutionary War.The USA Patriot Act of 2001 increased the ability of law enforcement officials to search personal information such as telephone calls, e-mails and personal records. It also eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States.While some aspects of the act are necessary, others are not.The Fourth Amendment ensures "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Listening in on phone calls and going through people's personal e-mails is unreasonable because it will not make America a safer place to live and it infringes on the freedoms the Fourth Amendment guarantees.U.S. intelligence analysts were ordered to continue monitoring phone calls, even when it was clear they posed no threat to America's safety."We identified phone numbers belonging to non-threatening groups, including the Red Cross," said Adrienne Kinne, a former Arab linguist who worked at a National Security Agency facility at Fort Gordon from 2001 to 2003. "We could have blocked their numbers, but we didn't, and we were told to listen to them just in case."American freedoms were being sacrificed to provide security, even when there was no real danger. The people whose phone calls were being monitored posed no threat to America. This was an invasion of their rights as American citizens.Freedom and security need to be balanced, but freedom should not be jeopardized in order to obtain security.In the beginning, America invested in freedom, not the security of what its citizens already knew. And while both are vital to the success of a nation, freedom is the more fundamental, more enduring, and, therefore, more important.Some may argue that, given the current threats to America, the security of the country and its people should take priority over freedoms, no matter the cost.While there are threats to be concerned about, taking away the liberty of the citizens for the sake of security is just giving in to what the terrorists ultimately want: the suppression of America and its people.These acts were supposed to secure the country and offer more protection in the tumultuous atmosphere of World War I. In reality, they not only failed but they tightened the grip that fear held on the nation. Beyond this, the acts dramatically infringed on First Amendment rights, the freedoms that are deeply ingrained in America.And while the freedom versus security debate is centuries old and circumstances have changed countless times, the dilemma is still the same. In a nation where freedom has had such a high value even before the country's birth, it is nearly impossible to place security before liberty.I consider security to be more important than freedom. For a small group of students in my school, the thoughts concerning this topic are so drastically different that it is our policy to refuse to discuss it with others when we know it will start an argument.Freedom and security do not necessarily refer to matters of national importance. They can be used in many situations. For example, when looking for a job, some people consider how secure they will be having a routine 9 to 5 job with little change in schedule. This ensures that their daily needs will be taken care of and they don't need to worry about those.Another extremely important thing having to do with security is a person's romantic relationships. Is it better to date exclusively and to have a steady boyfriend or girlfriend, or to be free to come and go as you please without having a steady relationship in your life? Personally, I'd like to think that because something like marriage exists, security is considered significantly more important to most individuals.
Some people may think that life is pointless if you aren't free to enjoy it. But I disagree. What's the point of being free if you have to live with the constant uncertainty and worry that's caused by a lack of security?

What does "The Oldest and Youngest Places on Earth" suggest about the connection between the earth's mantle and both Baffin Island and Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai?
The rock that formed and remains on both islands came from or through the mantle.
The stability of the mantle is what has prevented these islands from changing much over time.
The rock that formed both islands has now been absorbed back into the earth's mantle.
The mantle is what caused thriving ecosystems to emerge on both islands.
I'm 100% sure the answer is A.
I know its correct because I just took the unit test in k12
The rock that formed and remains on both islands came from or through the mantle which "The Oldest and Youngest Places on Earth" suggest about the connection between the earth's mantle and both Baffin Island and Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai. The correct option is A.
What is called our Earth?Our home planet, Earth, is unlike any other. Earth, the third planet from the sun, is the only place in the known universe where life has been confirmed. Earth is the fifth largest planet in our solar system, with a radius of 3,959 miles, and the only one known to have liquid water on its surface.
The Earth formed over 4.6 billion years ago from a mixture of dust and gas surrounding the young sun. It grew larger as a result of numerous collisions between dust particles, asteroids, and other growing planets, including one final massive impact that threw enough rock, gas, and dust into space to form the moon.
Thus, the ideal selection is option A.

PART B: Which phrase from paragraph 4 best supports the answer to Part A? A. “the disgusting news from Drake” B. “crowing about all the books we will sell because of the news” C. “to damage my reputation in the eyes of their children and then in the eyes of the world” D. “the courage and ordinary decency”
Answer:
Part A: C. to benefit from
Part B: B. “crowing about all the books we will sell because of the news”
Explanation
This question refers to a letter Kurt Vonnegut, the author of "Slaughterhouse-Five", wrote to Charles McCarthy, the head of the school board, after McCarthy decided to burn all the copies of his book from school library.
Besides explaining why such an action is wrong, and the potential consequences it might have on freedom of speech, Vonnegut states that he has done "absolutely nothing to exploit the disgusting news".
That means that he hasn't done any actions to make a profit from the publicity this news might have. He states that he hasn't informed any of the media.
Also he says that he and his publisher are not "clapping each other on the back, crowing about all the books we will sell because of the news".
All of that suggests that he is writing this letter out of concern for impact it might have on the American culture and freedom of speech, rather then using it as a chance to make a profit out of the situation.
