Answer:
Learning is the best way to perform good work
Helppppp meeee!!! will mrak brainiest!!!!!!!!!! Hawaii is the world's most remote island population center in the world. The six largest Hawaiian Islands — the Big Island, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai — form a chain of islands running to the northwest. The islands appear in this pattern because they are situated on a volcanic hotspot. A hotspot is an area in the Earth's mantle where plumes of hot molten rock called magma rise up from the mantle, forming volcanos on the Earth's crust. The crust is the outermost layer of a planet. The mantle is the layer below the crust. This process happened with the Hawaiian Islands. They formed one after the other as a tectonic plate, the Pacific Plate, slid over a plume of magma, creating a volcano. The tectonic plate continued to move over the hotspot, and the active volcano lost its connection to the hotspot and became inactive. A new active volcano formed from the hotspot. Which sentence from the Introduction [paragraphs 1-3] BEST introduces the idea of how the Hawaiian islands were created to the reader? A The six largest Hawaiian Islands — the Big Island, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai — form a chain of islands running to the northwest. B The islands appear in this pattern because they are situated on a volcanic hot spot. C They formed one after the other as a tectonic plate, the Pacific Plate, slid over a plume of magma, or molten rock. D The Hawaiian Islands represent a trail of volcanic eruptions.

Read the passage from “A Chip of Glass Ruby,” which describes Bamjee’s perspective of his wife and her support of native Africans. This was not a thing other Indian women would have in their homes, he thought bitterly; but then his wife was not like other people, in a way he could not put his finger on, except to say what it was not: not scandalous, not punishable, not rebellious. It was, like the attraction that had led him to marry her, Pahad’s widow with five children, something he could not see clearly. How does the information in this passage help characterize the relationship between Bamjee and his wife?
Answer: The information in the passage helps the reader understand the relationship between Bamjee and his wife by comparing his wife's personality to other women's. He describes how unique she is and how lucky he feels to have married her, besides how opposite they may be to each other.
Explanation: The character makes a description of his wife, which makes the reader understand that they have a strong and supportive relationship. He acknowledges the fact that he doesn't like the direction she is going, however, "Mr. Bamjee's" also describes every characteristic he loves about her, such as not being scandalous, punishable, nor rebellious, unlike other women. He also admires how committed she is to risk her life to defend equality. All of these words transmit how glad he is to have married her, besides being complete opposites.

I remember a time when a shortage occurred; we had to have three dollars, and we had to have it before the close of the day. I don't know now how we happened to want all that money at one time; I only know we had to have it... As it is used in this excerpt, what do you think the word bullion means? What context clues help you determine the meaning of this word in the excerpt?
Answer:
Bullion is money, specifically gold or silver that has been freshly mined but not cleaned and made into money.
Clues to the meaning include the fact that the kids need "3 dollars", the speaker doesn't know how they wanted all that "money" at one time, and they had to "raise" it, as in "raising money". When he says, "I hadn't any idea where to turn to raise all that bullion..." he means the 3 dollars.

Read this claim:
Forced retirement for airline pilots at age 60 is a good policy that
ensures safety for passengers.
Which counterclaim is most appropriate for the author to address?
O A. Just because a pilot is 60 years old doesn't mean that he or she is
reckless or unconcerned about passengers.
B. The idea that forced retirement will free up jobs for younger pilots is
false; airlines are largely cutting back.
O C. Age 60 is no longer as old as it used to be; healthy pilots can continue
flying safely for many years after 60.
D. The safety of passengers isn't as important as the ability of older pilots
to keep jobs and provide for their families.
Answer:
C). Age 60 is no longer as old as it used to be; healthy pilots can continue
flying safely for many years after 60.
Explanation:
Counterclaims are primarily described as the claims that aim to offset or negate the original claim made by the author. It assists the author to provide another side of his argument and establish credibility.
As per the question, the third option asserts a claim which most appropriately negates the author's claim regarding the 'forced retirement of pilots over 60 years of age for the sake of passengers' safety.' It opposes this claim by asserting that age is not a factor but rather the health is and since 'age 60' has not remained similar to what it was earlier and thus, healthy pilots must be allowed to fly. This counterclaim logically denies the author's claim and offers a contrasting perspective to this claim regarding forced retirement. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Two little sisters were arguing over an orange, "Give it to me, I want this orange, it's mine" shouted the first girl."And I want this orange too, I need it right now," cried the other girl.The mother came in to the kitchen, took a knife and cut the orange in two halves. She gave each little girl one half. The first girl peeled her half, threw away the skin, and ate the inside. The second girl also peeled her half of the orange, but threw away the inside, and put the skin aside to dry. She wanted to make some jam out of the orange.

Explanation:
The fairy tales Snow White and Beauty and the Beast share a similar theme: that real beauty comes from within. In your opinion, which text develops this theme more effectively? As you write your essay, remember to use details from both stories to support your response. PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE! 3 PARAGRAPHS!
While both fairy tales provide great messages, Beauty and the Beast had well developed characters, a great story line, and explored real world problems that helped better state the message. The classic fairytale shows the story of an intelligent young girl with a thirst for knowledge who saw past the ugly exterior of a beast, and into a heart of gold. Both characters managed to stay decent people and true to their heart despite the terrible treatment and abuse they faced. Belle was known for her eye-catching beauty, but this characteristic of hers paled in comparison to her brain and her heart. While the beast had issues, Belle's kind-nature helped him work through them, her presence turned him back into his beautiful self, which perfectly represents the theme of the story.
Snow White is quite similar; she is a beautiful princess with a kind heart, who see's past the seven little dwarfs' odd personalities. However, having the antagonist obsessed with her beauty just adds emphasis to the wrong idea of the story. The queen is so obsessed with being the most beautiful, she attempts to murder an innocent girl. Instead of focusing on "beauty comes from within" we see more of "envy is powerful". While it is a great story and a strong message, the characters and plot are simply not as strong as Beauty and the Beast.
A stories antagonist is a great way for an author to present the obstacle, and therefore the theme of a story. Because the queen in Snow White's story was so obsessed with her looks, her envy and jealousy drove her mad. Beauty and the Beast had everyone, even Belle for a little while, thinking that the Prince was in fact, a beast. However, Belle eventually saw inside the Prince's heart, and learned about true beauty. Both stories have strong messages and great story lines, but Beauty and the Beast's advanced use of characters and villains helped develop the theme in a powerful way, which is the mark of a great story.

A. signal her presentation's conclusion.
B. regain audience attention.
C. signal the beginning of her speech.

Answer:
A. Signal her presentation's conclusion.
Explanation:
In this scenario, the speaker begins to speak more slowly as she walks to the front of the stage. She deliberately looks around the audience, pauses, and then speaks in a lower pitch. The speaker is most likely trying to signal her presentation's conclusion.

The aforementioned actions would make your presentation memorable to the audience and to remember the main points therein.
