One of Rose's faults was that she was extremely disorganized. The clothes that she'd worn to school all week littered the floor and furniture,
and her school papers were piled high on her desk. The trash container was overflowing with crumpled papers and food wrappers. Rosa
decided it was time to clean up her life so she could increase her productivity.
she knew it would be hard work, Rosa figured it couldn't be any harder than having to sift through piles to find one item
She found two empty boxes, a large trash bag and a pair of gloves in the garage. She used one box for clothes she wanted to donate to
charity and the other box for papers she wanted to keep. She put her usable clothes back in the closet and dresser and carefully stacked her
books on the bookshelf. After she picked everything up, she vacuumed and dusted her room. It took a few hours of work, but before Rosa
knew it, the huge task was finished.
, a smile slowly spread across Rose's face as she stared in amazement at her neat and well-ordered room. Now all she
had to do was keep it as neat as possible so she wouldn't have to waste time organizing it again.

When the main courses were finished, Mother brought out a platter of fruit. “I hope you weren’t expecting a sweet dessert,” she said. “Since the Chinese don’t eat dessert, I didn’t think to prepare any.” “Oh, I couldn’t possibly eat dessert!” cried Mrs. Gleason. “I’m simply stuffed!” How does this event support the resolution of the story? It proves that the neighbors practice healthy eating habits. It suggests that Mrs. Lin wants to teach people Chinese cooking. It shows that the Lins have successfully hosted their American friends. It illustrates that the Lins and Gleasons have similar ideas about desserts.
Answer:
It shows that the Lins have successfully hosted their American friends.
Explanation:
Lensey Namioka's "The All American Slurp" is a story of how the Lin family who had just moved to America, had a hard time adjusting to their new American way of life. Coming from a Chinese background and with different cultures and heritage, and food habits, the story delves into their 'experiences' of evolving into American life.
In the given excerpt, the narrator, who was the young daughter of the Lins, describes how their dinner went. They had previously been invited to a dinner by the Gleasons whose daughter Meg, is her best friend. And now that they have a chance to invite them into their home for dinner, the Lins made sure that their guests can eat to their hearts' content. Even though their own experience at the Gleason dinner may have left them a bit 'un-experienced' and hungry, for their part, they made sure their guests feel full. Mrs. Gleason's remark of being "simply stuffed" after their dinner shows the dinner had been successfully hosted by the Lins.

Idealistic people are those who pursue great ideas in the hope of changing the world. Because their plans are often quite ambitious, these people can have difficulty accomplishing smaller, concrete goals. In contrast, practical people concentrate on workable ideas and goals. Their approach is likely to lend itself to tangible solutions, even if these people fail to envision grand ideas. Which approach is more valuable in life: an idealistic one or a practical one? Think carefully about this
Answer:
The idealistic approach is more valuable in the long-term, because it not only offers solutions to present and future problems, but it also offers a vision: an idea about the future for a person, a corporation, a city, or a nation.
The practical approach is more valuable in the short-term. While long-term ideas and vision of the idealists can be fulfilled, there are many concrete problems that need to be solved in the meantime, and this is the time and place where practical people shine.

Which statement best summarizes this part of kafka's the metamorphosis? He was standing up straight enough now; dressed in a smart blue uniform with gold buttons, the sort worn by the employees at the banking institute; above the high, stiff collar of the coat his strong double-chin emerged; under the bushy eyebrows, his piercing, dark eyes looked out fresh and alert; his normally unkempt white hair was combed down painfully close to his scalp. He took his cap, with its gold monogram from, probably, some bank, and threw it in an arc right across the room onto the sofa, put his hands in his trouser pockets, pushing back the bottom of his long uniform coat, and, with look of determination, walked towards Gregor. He probably did not even know himself what he had in mind, but nonetheless lifted his feet unusually high. Gregor was amazed at the enormous size of the soles of his boots, but wasted no time with that — he knew full well, right from the first day of his new life, that his father thought it necessary to always be extremely strict with him. And so he ran up to his father, stopped when his father stopped, scurried forwards again when he moved, even slightly. In this way they went round the room several times without anything decisive happening, without even giving the impression of a chase as everything went so slowly. Gregor remained all this time on the floor, largely because he feared his father might see it as especially provoking if he fled onto the wall or ceiling. Whatever he did, Gregor had to admit that he certainly would not be able to keep up this running about for long, as for each step his father took he had to carry out countless movements. He became noticeably short of breath, even in his earlier life his lungs had not been very reliable. Now, as he lurched about in his efforts to muster all the strength he could for running he could hardly keep his eyes open; his thoughts became too slow for him to think of any other way of saving himself than running; he almost forgot that the walls were there for him to use although, here, they were concealed behind carefully carved furniture full of notches and protrusions — then, right beside him, lightly tossed, something flew down and rolled in front of him. It was an apple; then another one immediately flew at him; Gregor froze in shock; there was no longer any point in running as his father had decided to bombard him. He had filled his pockets with fruit from the bowl on the sideboard and now, without even taking the time for careful aim, threw one apple after another. These little, red apples rolled about on the floor, knocking into each other as if they had electric motors. An apple thrown without much force glanced against Gregor's back and slid off without doing any harm. Another one however, immediately following it, hit squarely and lodged in his back; Gregor wanted to drag himself away, as if he could remove the surprising, the incredible pain by changing his position; but he felt as if nailed to the spot and spread himself out, all his senses in confusion. The last thing he saw was the door of his room being pulled open, his sister was screaming, his mother ran out in front of her in her blouse (as his sister had taken off some of her clothes after she had fainted to make it easier for her to breathe), she ran to his father, her skirts unfastened and sliding one after another to the ground, stumbling over the skirts she pushed herself to his father, her arms around him, uniting herself with him totally — now Gregor lost his ability to see anything — her hands behind his father's head begging him to spare Gregor's life. A. Gregor's father appears more business–like to Gregor. B. Gregor notices a difference in his father, after which the father attacks and injures Gregor. C. People are powerless and must dislike the things they fear. D. Gregor's father throws an apple at Gregor.
Answer:

Quince: But there is two hard things: that is, to bring the moonlight into a chamber; for you know, Pyramus and Thisby meet by moonlight. What does the word chamber mean here?
Answer:
The word "chamber" means a room.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's comedy play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" revolves around the comic love o the numerous characters with the upcoming wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta as the backdrop for the love theme. With the numerous characters intertwined in their love affections, the play focused on how people perceive love to be something that is only about physical appearance and not care much about the emotional value/ aspect.
The given dialogue of Quince in Act III scene i of the play reveals the problem of bringing "moonlight" in a room. With the plan to perform the love story of Pyramus and Thisby for the newly wed couple Theseus and Hippolyta, the performers were going through the particulars that they had to take care of for their performance. And since the play will be presented in an enclosed room and not the outside, they had to make certain changes to it. Like, a real lion in the scene which will be replaced by a person providing a prologue where he declares the lion isn't a real lion. Likewise, considering Pyramus and Thisby met at night, under the moonlight, and with a wall in between them, it is only natural to try to replicate the scene in however much they can manage. For that, they had to find ways to make it seem reasonable, with a man acting as the wall while someone holds a lantern and a bush.
Thus, when Quince mentions that "to bring the moonlight into a chamber" is a hard thing, he is talking about how to bring "moonlight" inside a room.

Radio was a new thrill for many Americans in the 1920s, but it had extraordinary value for the isolated farm families of the Midwest, for whom solitude loomed as a daily problem. Radio was a source of music and fun, information and weather reports, and it was an easy way to enjoy the pleasure of other people's company. In-person visiting was a special event that often meant putting on dress clothes and serving cakes and lemonade and gathering politely in the parlor; frequently the press of chores or bad weather made that impossible. But with a radio, women could continue their housework as they listened to a friendly voice; men working in the barn had access to weather reports and farm programs.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" most closely reflects the central theme of the
passage?
His guests shivered again. A strange chillness, whether of the body or spirit they could not tell was creeping gradually over them all. They
gazed at one another, and fancied that each fleeting moment snatched away a charm, and left a deepening furrow where none had been
before. Was it an illusion? Had the changes of a lifetime been crowded into so brief a space, and were they now four aged people, sitting with
their old friend, Dr. Heidegger?
"Are we grown old again, so soon?" cried they, dolefully.
In truth they had. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine. The delirium which it created had
effervesced away. Yes! they were old again. With a shuddering impulse, that showed her a woman still, the widow clasped her skinny hands
before her face, and wished that the coffin-lid were over it since it could be no longer beautiful.
"Yes, friends, ye are old again," said Dr. Heidegger, "and lo! the Water of Youth is all lavished on the ground. Well, I bemoan it not: for if the
fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it: no, yough its delirium were for years instead of moments. Such
is the lesson ye have taught me!"
But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at
morning, noon, and night from the Fountain of Youth.

C. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine.
F. But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" revolves around the scientific experiment of a doctor about "the Fountain of Youth" by using his four friends as his test subjects. And as they grow younger with the water, they became more greedy and foolish, reverting to their selves when they were young.
The theme of longevity and the desire to be young, along with the foolishness of man that arises out of the pessimistic view of one's nature are represented in this story. And the sentences that best reflect the theme are sentences C and F. These two sentences present how the doctor views the water of Youth to be, "more transient than that of wine". Its effects stayed momentarily and couldn't give them permanent or long-lasting happiness/ youth. But despite their re-discovering of the foolishness and greed that their 'youth' brings, the friends still resolved to take a pilgrimage to Florida and bask in the water "morning, noon and night".
Answer
C. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine.
F. But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida, and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.

Write an autobiographical narrative on 'Tell about a superpower you would like to have and explain why', with an introduction, 3-point body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Answer:
A SUPERPOWER I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE
I have always been intrigued by the idea of time travel ever since i was a little child. I watched cartoons about characters that could move through dimensions and go back to the past to change something or enter the future to get something.
The superpower i would like to have is the ability to time travel partly because i would love to travel to the past and witness the things i can only read in books. I would love to meet Jesus and know the kind of man he was, i would also want to meet Julius Caesar and ask him some questions about how he was able to lead a vast empire such as the Roman empire. I would also be a great honor to meet Thomas Edison and ask him how he persevered even after he kept failing at his experiments before he eventually succeeded.
It would be really cool to have this superpower because i can relive my past and also move into the future, for sure, it would be exciting.

What is idea ?Ideas are the products of thought, both in everyday speech and in philosophy. Ideas may also be imagined mental representations of things in philosophy. Ideas have frequently been seen as a basic ontological category of being. One fundamental and distinguishing quality of humans is thought to be our ability to produce and comprehend the meaning of ideas. In a common sense, when we discuss the concept of a person or a location, for instance, a notion emerges reflexively, spontaneously, even without thought or deep reflection. Innovation is frequently the result of a fresh or original concept.
The debate over the fundamental nature of ideas is introduced by Plato, whose explanation of his theory of forms—which recurs and accumulates throughout the course of his numerous dialogs—appropriates the Greek word for things that are "seen" (re. o) and adds a new meaning that emphasises
