Answer:
Hal Marcovitz expresses in “The Rise to Julius Caesar” that Roman politician Julius Caesar rose to power through fear and intimidation. The text describes how Caesar “involved himself in the political intrigues of the republic.” By embedding himself in politics, Caesar rose in power and eventually became the leader of the Roman army. After many battle conquests, “the Roman senators elected Caesar dictator for life, fearing for their careers and their lives if they did not.” The action of the Roman senators reveals that Caesar became an all-powerful ruler because the people of Rome feared him.

Explanation:
Mouse Deer and Tiger
I’m quick and smart as I can be.
Try and try, but you can’t catch me!
Mouse Deer sang his song as he walked through the forest. He was looking for tasty fruits and roots and shoots.
Though he was small, he was not afraid. He knew that many big animals wanted to eat him. But first they had to catch him!
Then he heard something. Rowr!
There was Tiger!
“Hello, Mouse Deer. I was just getting hungry. Now you can be my lunch.”
Mouse Deer didn’t want to be lunch. He looked around and thought fast. He saw a mud puddle.
“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his pudding.”
“His pudding?” said Tiger.
“Yes. There it is.” Mouse Deer pointed to the mud puddle. “It has the best taste in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to eat it.”
Tiger looked longingly at the puddle. “I would like to taste the King’s pudding.”
“Oh, no, Tiger! The King would be very angry.”
“Just one little taste, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”
“Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”
“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”
Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.
“Imagine!” said Tiger. “The King’s pudding!” He took a big mouthful.
Phooey! He spit it out.
“Yuck! Ugh! Bleck! That’s no pudding. That’s mud!”
Tiger ran through the forest. Rowr! He caught up with Mouse Deer.
“Mouse Deer, you tricked me once. But now you will be my lunch!”
Mouse Deer looked around and thought fast. He saw a wasp nest in a tree.
“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his drum.”
“His drum?” said Tiger.
“Yes. There it is.” Mouse Deer pointed to the wasp nest. “It has the best sound in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to hit it.”
Tiger said, “I would like to hit the King’s drum.”
“Oh, no, Tiger! The King would be very angry.”
“Just one little hit, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”
“Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”
“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”
Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.
“Imagine!” said Tiger. “The King’s drum!” He reached up and hit it. Pow.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The wasps all flew out. They started to sting Tiger.
“Ouch! Ooch! Eech! That’s no drum. That’s a wasp nest!”
Tiger ran away. But the wasps only followed him! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
“Ouch! Ooch! Eech!”
Tiger came to a stream. He jumped in—splash!—and stayed underwater as long as he could. At last the wasps went away.
Then Tiger jumped out. Rowr! He ran through the forest till he found Mouse Deer.
“Mouse Deer, you tricked me once. You tricked me twice. But now you will be my lunch!”
Mouse Deer looked around and thought fast. He saw a cobra! The giant snake was coiled asleep on the ground.
“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his belt.”
“His belt?” said Tiger.
“Yes. There it is.” Mouse Deer pointed to the cobra. “It’s the best belt in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to wear it.”
Tiger said, “I would like to wear the King’s belt.”
“Oh, no Tiger! The King would be very angry.”
“Just for one moment, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”
“Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”
“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”
Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.
“Imagine!” said Tiger. “The King’s belt!” He started to wrap it around himself.
The cobra woke up. Ssssssssssssss. It didn’t wait for Tiger to finish wrapping. It wrapped itself around Tiger. Then it squeezed him and bit him. Sstt!
“Ooh! Ow! Yow! That’s no belt. That’s a cobra! Help! Mouse Deer! Help!”
But Mouse Deer was far away. And as he went, he sang his song.
I’m quick and smart as I can be.
Try and try, but you can’t catch me

Read the paragraph below. Where did the author find the information that some UV radiation is good for you?
Humans need the sun’s light. But another kind of radiation that we can’t see, UV radiation, also comes from the sun. According to the article “What You See Is Not What You Get,” a little UV radiation is good for you: “UV radiation causes the skin to create Vitamin D, which helps people to absorb calcium.” But too much UV radiation can burn your skin or hurt your eyes. That’s why you should use sunscreen. The CDC website tells readers to use at least SPF 15 and to “apply, reapply, and then do it again! …. Put more sunscreen on every couple of hours.”
1.the CDC website
2.The writer already knew this information and did not use a source.
3.both the article and the website
4.“What You See Is Not What You Get”
12.Do the analysis of the following sentences stating the types of sentences whether simple, complex or compound. Also identify the clauses. 1x2=2 marks i. She was looking upset that day as her friends hadn’t come to see
13.England scored 350 runs in 50 overs, but team India easily chased the target.
Answer:
- She was looking upset that day as her friends hadn't come to see her. --> complex sentence.
1. She was looking upset that day --> main clause
2. as her friends hadn't come to see her --> subordinate clause
- England scored 350 runs in 50 overs, but team India easily chased the target. --> compound sentence
1. England scored 350 runs in 50 overs --> independent clause
2. but team India easily chased the target --> independent clause
Explanation:
The best way to identify what type of sentence we are dealing with is by looking for clauses. A clause will have a subject and a predicate. Once we find it, we need to identify what type of clause it is.
To do that, we can look for conjunctions, which are words that connect the different clauses and establish a relationship between them. A coordinating conjunction will connect two independent clauses and create a compound sentence. Since there is only a few of them, they are easy to memorize by using the acronym FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so). Notice that in the second sentence we analyzed above, we have the conjunction "but".
A subordinating conjunction connects a main clause to a subordinate clause and creates a complex sentence. In the first sentence we analyzed above, we have the conjunction "as" introducing an explanation.

Answer:
Expounding
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.
Sangha (order of monks) are saddled with the responsibility of keeping and interpreting texts for the people.

ASCH EXPERIMENT central idea
Answer:
The Asch conformity experiments were a series of psychological experiments conducted by Solomon Asch during the 1950s. The experiments revealed the degree to which a person's own opinions are influenced by those of groups. Asch found that people were willing to ignore reality and give an incorrect answer in order to conform to the rest of the group.
The Asch conformity experiments were a series of psychological experiments conducted by Solomon Asch during the 1950s.
Who was Solomon Asch?Solomon Asch, a pioneer in social psychology and a Polish-American Gestalt psychologist, lived from September 14, 1907, until February 20, 1996.
He produced groundbreaking works on compliance, prestige suggestion, impression construction, and many other subjects. The common Gestalt psychology tenet that the whole is not just larger than the sum of its parts, but that the nature of the whole profoundly transforms the parts, is reflected in much of his work.
Further Asch declared: "Most social behaviors must be understood in the context of their use; otherwise, they become meaningless. The failure to understand social facts' context and purpose is the gravest error in social fact analysis " (Asch, 1952, p. 61). Asch is most known for his conformity studies, in which he showed how group pressure may have an impact.
Thus the Central idea was to study the psychological experiments conducted by Solomon Asch.

What is the first way that Yevgeny tries to solve the problem? What are the three reasons he says he is angry with Seryozha?
Answer:
He tries to reason with his son why smoking is a bad thing to do by threatening to disown him.
Explanation:
Yevgeny Petrovitch was a court prosecutor and single father of the seven-year old boy, Seryozgha in the book 'Home' by Anton Chekhov.
Yevgeny's house keeper (or Governess) had just informed him that she caught his son Seryozgha, smoking! She wanted Yevgeny to address the issue before it got out of hand.
In an attempt to solving the problem, Yevgeny expressed his anger and displeasure at what the young boy had done and threatened to disown him as his son. He did this reasoning that his son would grasp the enormity of what he had done.
The three reasons for which Yevgeny was angry with Seryozgha are:
1) that Seryozgha actually smoked at a young age.
2) That Seryozgha lied about the number of times he had smoked.
3) That Seryozgha stole by taking tobacco that belonged to Yevgeny from his table

What is the difference between a claim and a thesis statement?
Answer:
Claims sometimes stand alone and at other times are part of a series (of claims and subclaims). In effect, the "thesis" of a work or part of a work is a kind of claim (we might say that the overall thesis is the "main claim"). It is important that you know when are making claims and what kinds of claims you are making.
