Answer:
d.many companies should rethink how they package and ship items.
Explanation:
The intent of the whole passage is to make the readers understand how huge amount of papers for packages and boxes are used needlessly just to ship a small item ordered over the internet.
The sentence that the auther would most likely agree with would be "many companies should rethink how they package and ship items.". This is clearly evident from the fact that he does not support needless use of papers or big boxes for packaging small items. He even suggests the consumers to complain to the companies that ship small things in large packages.

Incomplete question. The Complete question reads;
Read the speech, "Should Children Be Allowed to Own and Use Cell phones?" Give three or four examples of supporting materials that this student could use to improve the effectiveness of his speech and explain how and when they could be used.
"It is difficult to imagine a time when we did not have cell phones. Many of us rely on our phones throughout the day in order to stay in contact with our business, friends, and families. Whether we like the cell phone or not, it has become an essential part of our society and there is little chance of its use being curtailed in the near future. Even children have begun to carry their own cell phones, not only for emergency and family use but to stay in touch with their friends through the use of text messaging. What are the positive and negative points of allowing a child to carry a cell phone?
There's no doubt that when it's necessary, a cell phone becomes an important tool for a child to use in the event of an emergency. We live in a very difficult and sometimes dangerous world. Having a means of contact with your child at all times through the use of a cell phone could be a matter of their personal safety. Children have used cell phones to contact their parents or officials in the event of a threatening situation and have even used the photo ability of the cell phone to ward off or identify predators. As children grow older, it is also often a good idea to give them a certain degree of relative freedom. Responsible cell phone ownership could provide this for your child.
On the other hand, owning a cell phone can have a lot of negative impact on a child as well. These phones can be a large distraction to them, both within the walls of the school system and outside. It becomes very easy for the child to receive text messages and pictures that the parents may not approve of. Along with that, there are also some health concerns, although unconfirmed, about the dangers of having concentrated cellular waves so close to a developing body on a regular basis. One option that may meld the two together is to have a cell phone for the child that is limited in its capability to send and receive calls. It would only be able to call out to emergency numbers and can only send and receive two pre-established numbers. This would give the parents some peace of mind, knowing that their child has a means to contact them in case of an emergency.
There are several lines of reasoning that may help you to come to a decision of your own. First of all, if you have children this needs to be a personal issue, one that you will decide for the benefit of your children and yourself. You will also have to make sure that the cell phones are used within the guidelines that are established for them in the school system. That's part of being a parent, the responsibility of making decisions for your child within certain guidelines."
Explanation:
1. This student could have used verifiable statistical data that shows, for example, the most popular reason why most parents allow their children to use Cell phones.
2. Also, the student could have narrated the real-life experience of a child who used their cell phone to contact their parents or officials in a threatening situation in other to support the student's view that cell phones are important.
3. The statement of a particular parent who experienced a situation where their child received text messages and pictures that the parents did not approve of could have been included, and this would have provided evidence for such claims.
Answer:
1. The student could add more positives which then would make the negatives sound less negative and support both sides of this conflict.
2. The student could make this speech a little longer to establish a more understanding speech.
3. The student should not only focus on one or two negatives, he could take a little focus off of the two negatives and add another two.
4. The student can also look at the point of view of the children too. Despite the strong speech, it only looks at the perspective of the child as well.

When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt.
When Luther realized his embarrassing mistake, his cheeks began turning the same rosy color as his T-shirt.
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks turned the same rosy red glow as his red T-shirt.
Answer:
The second one
Explanation:
The other sentences keep describing the color of his cheeks and shirt and in the second one, it describes his cheeks being flushed, meaning red, and how it's the same color as his shirt.
Answer:
When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt.
Explanation:
Bewildered is a term used to characterize a set of disconnected words. We can also say that verbiage is a speech without nexus or even an insignificant conversation, speech or talk. On the other hand, redundancy is an unnecessary repetition of ideas, also called vague pleonasm or tautology.
Following this reasoning we can see that only the sentence "When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt." is the only option that has neither wordiness nor redundancy.

PLZ HELLLP!! I need a very very short story. it can be about anything but with some sort of twist in the end. anything simple will do.
Minimum of 150 words.
Answer: This story takes place in Chinatown, New York, where a drought has caused a famine, resulting in everyone starving to death and suffering. The townspeople, Aurora, Bing, Bo, Bojing, Chao, Wohang, Malana, Uett, Wong, Ilan, muhang, Jing, Hing, Aya and many others were in danger and fearful of what the future might hold for them. Their spirits were helpless and when the lord came, things only got worse for them. This is a story about finding hope through the worst of times.
1. A lord by the name of Ozawa, who looked well-fed and in expensive clothing, visited the village with his army to ask the townspeople to hand whatever money they had. A man by the name of Bojing, dressed in brown rags, went up to the lord and tried handing him 3 dimes, but his hand got pushed away by one of the guards, dropping the money. The lord, with a confused look on his face, thought he was being attacked so he told his men to seize Bojing The guards, dressed in intimidating armor, intervened and arrested the man.
2. A few days after he was arrested, his friends visited him and tried to explain to the jailer what had happened. The jailer didn't believe what they had to say and turned them away saying “Bojing had to serve his 2 month sentence”. Bojing, however, never gave up hope and spent the time in jail planning his revenge against Ozawa. He believed that if he could make the lord pay, it would help the village.
3. Bojing was pacing in his jail cell thinking about reasoning with the lord in order to get him to help the village. His argument would be, “if the villages under your control were poor and starving, you will appear useless, weakening your rule.” Bojing was planning to use the lord's confidence against him to control him into helping the village and possibly making him give up his power.
