Which two lines reflect the rising action in this passage?
Ellie took pride in her archery skills. Among the 40 members of Greenville School's Archery Club, she was the only one who could hit a target 50
meters away.
During the second term, a new student, Ripley, joined the archery club. On her first day, Ripley proved that she was just as good as Ellie. The
instructor even believed that she could perform better than Ellie. Gradually, Ripley took over Ellie's position as the top archer of the school. As a
result, Ellie lost a lot of friends who wanted to hang out with the new star archer.
Finally, the day of the state archery tournament arrived. As expected, Ripley quickly climbed the scoreboards; Ellie followed closely behind.
However, no one realized that Ellie had secretly been practicing for the final 50-meter round. When the final round was over, everyone was
astonished. Ellie had struck a perfect bull's-eye on all five attempts. She was the state champion!
Everyone rushed to congratulate Ellie on her victory. She walked over to her rival, vho was standing alone in a corner. Ellie took Ripley's hand
and thanked her. If it had not been for her, Ellie would have never trained so hard.
Over the next several years, Ellie and Ripley continued their rivalry. But when they were not on the field, they were the best of friends.

Answer:

Gradually, Ripley took over Ellie's position as the top archer of the school.

Explanation:

Ellie had struck a perfect bull's-eye on all five attempts. She was the state champion!

-i had this same assignment and when i chose these, it was correct :))

Answer:

I'm not too sure if this is correct but I'll say it would be

"Among the 40 members of Greenville School's Archery Club, she was the only one who could hit a target 50 meters away."

and

"During the second term, a new student, Ripley, joined the archery club."

Explanation: The reason that I say this, is because I would think that  "Gradually, Ripley took over Ellie's position as the top archer of the school." would be the climax or the problem and usually the rising action takes place before the climax and these were the only 2 options before that.

Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?

In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well--they were treasures!

I decided to put his entire machine shop in our basement, but there were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement, enclose the addition with concrete, and add a roof that could be used for building an outside deck to the house. I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had the entire machine shop in our basement. At the time I was making enough money from my electronic devices to pay for all of this.

Natures first green is gold ( rewrite of Zukasama's poem )
Her hardest hue to hold is that of what the sun hasn’t sold. her leaf’s sprout a flower but it was only so an hour but life begun the leaf dies as dose a part of Eden, as dawn goes to day nothing gold able to stay the sun sucking life from green gardens the waters churning as it tares the lands beauty away the storm makes the land baron the beauty no longer there to stay for the sun is jealous of his power being taken away and in anger strips it away, until the cycle turns again, until natures first green is gold once again one new day

Which two sentences in these excerpts from Kate Chopin’s “The Locket” reflect the theme of holding on to love despite time and distance.

The letter had made Edmond heart sick and home sick. He stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking stars. But he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain spring day when the bees were humming in the clematis; when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened about his own. It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother with their names and the date of their marriage. It was her most precious earthly possession.

…

Octavie wore a plain black dress, severe in its simplicity. A narrow belt held it at the waist and the sleeves were gathered into close fitting wristbands. She had discarded her hoopskirt and appeared not unlike a nun. Beneath the folds of her bodice nestled the old locket. She never displayed it now. It had returned to her sanctified in her eyes; made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence.

…

Octavie felt as if she had passed into a stage of existence which was like a dream, more poignant and real than life. There was the old gray house with its sloping eaves. Amid the blur of green, and dimly, she saw familiar faces and heard voices as if they came from far across the fields, and Edmond was holding her. It was as if the spirit of life and the awakening spring had given back the soul to her youth and bade her rejoice.

Based on the excerpt, which best describes Dicey's
mood?
Read the excerpt from Homecoming
At half past eight, Dicey herded everybody back into the
mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. Later,
Sammy and Maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along
the back seat. James moved up to the front with Dicey.
Dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the
front seat, but she supposed they would manage it.
James sat stiftly, gripping the wheel. James had a
narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out,
pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. Dicey studied him
in the darkening car. They were parked so far from the
nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.
With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest
asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon
of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though
it was standing still the car seemed to be flying down a
highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was
O She is very worried about what would happen to her
family
She is in denial about her family's present
circumstances
O She is trying to stay upbeat and carefree whenever
possible
She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all
situations.

Read the following poem, You Begin, by Margaret Atwood.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
You Begin
by Margaret Atwood

You begin this way:
this is your hand,
this is your eye,
that is a fish, blue and flat
on the paper, almost
the shape of an eye.
This is your mouth, this is an O
or a moon, whichever
you like. This is yellow.

Outside the window
is the rain, green
because it is summer, and beyond that
the trees and then the world,
which is round and has only
the colors of these nine crayons.

This is the world, which is fuller
and more difficult to learn than I have said.
You are right to smudge it that way
with the red and then
the orange: the world burns.

Once you have learned these words
you will learn that there are more
words than you can ever learn.
The word hand floats above your hand
like a small cloud over a lake.
The word hand anchors
your hand to this table,
your hand is a warm stone
I hold between two words.

This is your hand, these are my hands, this is the world,
which is round but not flat and has more colors
than we can see.

It begins, it has an end,
this is what you will
come back to, this is your hand.

The end

1. how is this description different from saying simply that the hand is warm?
2. How is this description different from saying the hand is like a warm stone?
