Answer:

Explanation:
While it may seem silly to think about now, I think that in several years we will look back and truly wonder why we used so much bioengineering for many of our common items. We have stopped using organic substances, although there has been a push for them, and we have resorted to using chemically made items. They are no longer from the Earth, yet pushed out of a factory ready for human use. Remedies, and items alike, I think that our ancestors will look back upon us with shame at how we treated the planet. Bioengineered substances have a very difficult time breaking down, which in turn, harms the planet further. So yes, these man-made substances will eventually harm us and our future.

Arthur Miller stuck close to the facts, but departed from the actual events of the Salem witch trials because _____. he did not want to present the history of Salem negatively people would not understand Puritan England otherwise he wanted to engage an audience all of the above
Answer:
he wanted to engage an audience
Explanation:
Answer:
The answer is to engage the audience.
Explanation:
In the reading of the lesson, they specifically state the reason in the following paragraph;
Authors often write fiction about historical characters to address a specific audience. Who was Miller’s audience at the time, and why did he feel the need to change Abigail’s age? Audiences need to relate to a storyline, too, and authors need to keep them interested and reading. The Crucible is an important documentation of American history, and it's a testament to how history often repeats itself. A young girl of eleven or twelve is now legally considered a minor and too young to consent to a relationship with an adult.
Had Arthur Miller stuck to these facts, he’d have risked taking attention away from the storyline and bringing more attention to the moral issues of John Proctor, with less empathy for his already flawed character.

imagine Eliza is reading this text as part of a research project and needs to create a summary of it. Which two statements best summarize the main ideas of the text?
Answer:
Historically, innovations in travel led to westward expansion in the United States.
Transportation and communication have served to unify United States citizens.
Explanation:
IF the text is:
adapted from The Expansion of the United States
from A Short History of the World
by H.G. Wells
The region of the world that displayed the most immediate and striking results from the new inventions in transport was North America. Politically, the United States embodied, and its constitution crystallized, the liberal ideas of the mid-eighteenth century. It dispensed with state-church or crown, it would have no titles, it protected property jealously as a method of freedom, and it gave nearly every adult male citizen a vote. Its method of voting was crude, and therefore its political life soon fell, but that did not prevent the newly emancipated population from developing an energy, enterprise, and public spirit far beyond that of any other contemporary population.
Then came that acceleration of locomotion. It is a curious thing that America, which owes most to this acceleration in locomotion, has felt it least. The United States has taken the railway, the river steamboat, the telegraph, and so forth as though they were a natural part of their growth. They were not. These things happened to come along just in time to save American unity. The United States of today was made first by the river steamboat, and then by the railway. Without these things, the present United States would have been altogether impossible. The westward flow of population would have been far more sluggish. It might never have crossed the great central plains. The first state established beyond the river was the steamboat state of Missouri in 1821. But the rest of the distance to the Pacific was done in a few decades.
If we had the resources then, it would be interesting to show a map of North America year by year from 1600 onward, with little dots to represent hundreds of people, each dot a hundred, and stars to represent cities of a hundred thousand people.
For two hundred years, the reader would see the little dots creeping slowly along the coastal districts and navigable waters, spreading still more gradually into Indiana, Kentucky, and so forth. Then somewhere about 1810 would come a change. Things would get more lively along the river courses. The dots would be multiplying and spreading. That would be the steamboat.
Then from about 1850 onward would come the black lines of the railways, and after that the little black dots would not simply creep but run. Then suddenly here and then there would appear the first stars to indicate the first great cities of a hundred thousand people. First one or two and then a multitude of cities—each like a knot in the growing net of the railways.
The growth of the United States is a process that has no precedent in the world's history; it is a new kind of occurrence. Such a community could not have come into existence before, and if it had, without railways it would certainly have dropped to pieces long before now. Without railways or telegraph, it would be far easier to administer California from Pekin than from Washington. But this great population of the United States of America has not only grown outrageously; it has kept uniform. Nay, it has become more uniform. The man of San Francisco is more like the man of New York today than the man of Virginia was like the man of New England a century ago. The United States is being woven by railway, by telegraph, more and more into one vast unity, speaking, thinking, and acting harmoniously with itself. Soon aviation will be helping in the work.
Henry David Thoreau’s Walden
Where I lived, and What I Lived For
What does it mean that his house wasn’t ready for winter and was just a "defense against the rain"?
Answer and Explanation:
When Thoreau says his house wasn't ready for winter and was just "a defense against the rain," he means the house he has built for himself is still unfinished. It does have walls and a roof, therefore being able to protect him against the rain. However, it does not yet have a chimney or plastering. The walls are made of boards, so he basically doesn't have much defense against the cold. Nevertheless, Thoreau begins to live in it anyway in the month of July, 1845.

Read the opening paragraph of Megan’s short story: I was eleven years old when I first realized that I was different from everyone else. As a girl growing up with only brothers, I could slug a baseball, hold my own in a rough-and-tumble game of tag football, and skate backward like my older brother. Sure, I played with dolls, too, and I really liked my dancing lessons. But most of all, I felt okay about me. Then something happened. I became the new kid in a new school; I became the kid nobody liked. And I didn’t know why.
Which of the following sentences is a conclusion that points back to the introduction of Megan’s story?
A. I left school without a backward glance, knowing I’d never have to go back. “Goodbye and good riddance” was all I could say.
B. By my last year of high school, things had started to turn around. But by then, I no longer cared. I knew where I was going and what I was going to be.
C. I learned that being an outsider isn’t necessarily all bad. I’m now stronger for it. I know and like who I am. I’m not sure my tormentors can say the same about themselves.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
