Which word best completes the passage above? (5 points)

Attentive

Please answer correctly, I will mark brainliest if I get this correct.

Answers

Answer:

A. Attentive.

Explanation:

The baseball whizzed by my bat and the umpire called "Strike!" The crowd was silent but attentive as the pitcher prepared to throw what could be the final pitch of the championships.

In order to qualify the noun "crowd" and complement the action they were engaged in; an adjective such as "attentive" would be used.

Also, since the pitcher was throwing what could be considered to be the final pitch of the championships, the crowd would be attentive to see what the outcome is i.e whether or not it may lead to the opposition team earning a point.

1000 word essay on Jeff Kenny

Answers

In 1998 Jeff came up with the idea for Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a story about a middle-school weakling named Greg Heffley. Jeff worked on his book for almost eight years before showing it to a publisher in New York.

Jeff Kinney was born in 1971 in Maryland and attended the University of Maryland in the early 1990s. It was there that Jeff ran a comic strip called “Igdoof” in the campus newspaper, and he knew he wanted to be a cartoonist.

However, Jeff was not successful in getting his comic strip syndicated after college, and in 1998 he started writing down ideas for Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which he hoped to turn into a book. Jeff worked on the book for six years before publishing it online on Funbrain.com in daily installments. To date, the online version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has more than 80 million visits, and is typically read by more than 70,000 kids a day.

In 2006, Jeff signed a multi-book deal with publisher Harry N. Abrams, Inc. to turn Diary of a Wimpy Kid into a print series. The first Diary of a Wimpy Kid book was published in 2007 and became an instant bestseller. Just a year later, more than 100,000 copies were in print in the United States alone. With each subsequent book, in-print numbers continue to grow exponentially both in the U.S. and abroad. There are now more than 200 million copies of the series in print worldwide.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series has been a fixture on the USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. The series has remained on the New York Times bestseller lists since the publication of the first book, for more than 500 weeks total, and more than 350 on the series list. The books are currently available in 76 editions in 64 languages.

Since initial publication in 2007, the series has gone on to win many regional and national awards around the globe including two Children’s Choice Book Awards and six Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards for Favorite Book. Jeff Kinney was named one of Time magazine’s most influential people in the world.

Jeff Kinney is also the creator of Poptropica, which was named one of Time’s 50 Best Websites. He spent his childhood in the Washington, D.C., area and moved to New England in 1995. Jeff lives with his wife and two sons in Massachusetts, where they own a bookstore,

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters were also featured in a parody of Hamlet, the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gilbert's play makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet.

What is the author’s purpose in this passage?

a) To inform the reader about stage adaptations of Shakespeare’s characters.
b) To convince the reader that Shakespeare’s writing is out of date today.
c) To persuade the reader to explore more works by Shakespeare and others.
d) To question the reader about current understandings of Shakespeare’s writing.

Phrases in which the words have opposite, contrasting meanings are examples of oxymorons. Oxymorons are often used as a way to emphasize an idea or concept.

A. They thought that the amendment made it too easy for uneducated African Americans to vote.

B. They felt that Southern opposition to the amendment would make life more difficult for women.

C. They thought a ban on discrimination against women should be included in the amendment.

D. They believe that the amendment was too poorly written to hold up in court against law suits.

Answers

Answer:

C. They thought a ban on discrimination against women should be included in the amendment.

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment granted American citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the USA, including ex-slaves. This allowed ex-slaves to be considered citizens and to have the right to vote. This infuriated the women involved in the suffragette movement, as women were not considered in this amendment and therefore were not considerate citizens, neither white nor black, which prevented them from voting and made them not only submissive to white men but also to blacks.
