Explanation:
Read the following excerpt from "Ellis Island" by Barbara Davis-Pyle.
Then I smiled because all of the questions were over. The men asked Papa and Mama to read some Italian words from a book, and the official stamped our papers. Then he grinned and said in English, “Welcome to the United States of America!” And in that instant, joy won the fight on Mama’s face.
We were taken to a boat that would sail us across the harbor to the city and a brand new life. As I boarded I smiled up at Lady Liberty who stood tall with her spoon in hand, ready to stir us in.

A.The support of family can make difficult situations easier.
B.True joy is experienced after difficult battles are won.
C. A brand new life can be difficult to get used to.
D. Along with a new start comes the promise of a great future.
help me ASAP!!
Answer:
B
Explanation:
This is how I got my answer:
Process of elimination:
A.In my opinion, the answer could possibly be A. I don't know the full context of this passage, but it could be that A is correct. However, the second paragraph especially gives me the hint that B is more accurate here.
B. In what I understood, this is correct. This is because it is clear that a battle was won here, as they seemed to have been struggling with getting approved to come to America. I think B is correct.
C.Although this may be true, and it may even be true specifically for the rest of this book, the short passage provided gives no negative connotation to it. It is a positive passage, and so the idea of life being difficult was never brought up. This is incorrect.
D. You have to be careful when looking at problems like this, because it's small words that indicate the correct/incorrect answer. The use of the phrase "promise of a great future" guarantees something that will not be true every time. So, this is incorrect.
Let me know if I was correct!

To determine whether a relationship is proportionate, perform the following tests:
Yes, there seems to be a proportional relationship. Hector's set-up is as follows:
The number of yellow flowers always out-numbers the number of white blooms by a factor of 2. As a result, the relationship could be modeled as follows;
As a result, the relationship is not proportionate.
Part A is B and Part B is A I think might be wrong though
Write a two- to three-sentence objective summary
Medieval culture has never fully disappeared from popular culture. Judging by the large number of medieval-themed books and movies, it's more popular than ever. Much like today, the characters in these medieval works all had clearly defined jobs or roles to play. Like today's occupations, these roles were all part of a process of career growth. For example, knights only became knights after a long, three-step process. If, at the age of seven, a boy displayed very good manners, smarts, and courage, his parents might decide they wanted him to become a knight. He would spend the next seven years as a page, performing simple duties such as helping knights with their horses and armor. After completing training as a page at around age 14, the boy would become a squire. A squire took on more responsibility and received more hands-on instruction in fighting and battle strategy. He would sometimes ride into battle with a knight and assist him. In some cases, the squire would even be required to fight in the knight's place if the knight was injured. At the age of 21, the squire was eligible to become a knight. First, he had to prove himself worthy by showing great bravery, wisdom, and devotion. worthy, he would be knighted in a ceremony where he vowed to protect his kingdom. Knights perform very different tasks from doctors, teachers, or professional athletes, but in each of these careers, there is a long process with clearly defined steps for moving up. Perhaps this is one of the reasons medieval culture has always fascinated us — it has a sense of order that never went out of style

Change this sentence to correctly include a restrictive phrase.
Everyone crowded around the ball player, the pitcher, who hit the winning run. (5 points)
Group of answer choices
Because he hit the winning run, everyone crowded around the pitcher.
Everyone crowded around the pitcher, the ball player who hit the winning run.
Everyone crowded around the pitcher because he hit the winning run.
Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run
Answer:
The sentence that correctly includes a restrictive phrase is:
A. Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.
Explanation:
A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. It can also be called defining relative clause. A restrictive clause is not set off by commas. The option that has information about the ball player that is not set off by commas is:
A. Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.
When we have a restrictive clause removed, the sentence loses part of its meaning. If we remove "who hit the winning run," the rest of the sentence could be referring to any ball player. Therefore, this information is crucial because it specifies to which ball player we refer.
Note: Option B does not have commas as well, but it uses the conjunction "because", which does not form a restrictive clause.

Thesis Statement:
Our local waterways are severely polluted, and actions must be taken to reduce the runoff that contributes to this pollution.
Which of the following is the best example of a topic sentence for an essay with this thesis?
1) Rain gardens are particularly useful near solid surfaces such as parking lots.
2) Rain gardens are located in 30 percent of the residential parkways in Allentown, Ill.
3) Rain gardens include plants and materials that help absorb water into the ground before it is washed into sewers.
4) Rain gardens are a natural way to reduce storm water runoff that pollutes local waterways
Answer:
4
Explanation:
you're starting off the paragraph that connects to the thesis, connecting that it reduces storm water runoff to how actions must be taken to reduce it. 1 is just a statement that to put it somewhere solid, 2 is a too specific fact, and 3 is the explantation. you would want 3 farther in on your paragraph rather than your opener.

Item 9
Golden Days
by Lizzie Lawson
There are days of summer sunshine,
Of warm and sunny weather,
When the hedge is full of hawthorn
And hills are glad with heather.
There are days of silent sadness,
Of frost, and snow, and rain,
When we fear that summer's gladness
Will never come again.
And now our songs are minor key,
And now in merry tune;
The windward side will change to lee,
And January to June.
Day and night the sun is shining,
Though he may hide his head;
Each cloud has a silver lining,
The flowers are asleep not dead.
Every day may have its playtime
Made bright by cheerful lays;
And life be one long Maytime,
A year of golden days.
Read the theme.
Life, like nature, has pleasant and unpleasant moments.
How does this theme develop over the course of "Golden Days"?
Happiness is like the warmth of summer, and sadness is like the coldness of winter.
The playtime of spring helps people feel alive and excited again after a long winter.
The seasons are all rewarding and pleasant in their own unique ways.
Nature and life are both unpredictable, especially during winter and summer months.
Answer:
Life is unpredictable in terms of whats gonna happen next , time is rewarding and in a keen way sad because it can be spent but not bought back . I feel like the theme of this poem is to not underestimate a days worth , in terms of some seasons feeling gloomy when others are full of happiness spend your time accordingly so you can make the most of it.
Explanation:
I hope I was able to answer your question , thank you and have a great day :)
Time is rewarding and in a sharp way sad because it can be spent but not recovered, and life is unpredictable in terms of what will happen next. The poem's main message, in my opinion,
What is an opinion?An opinion may be expressed regarding subjective issues for which there is no definitive evidence or it may be expressed regarding facts that are being contested on the pretext that everyone has the right to their own ideas.
Is not to undervalue a day's worth of opportunities. Given that some seasons can be depressing while others are joyful, you should plan how you will spend your time so that you can get the most out of it.
Therefore, opinion is preferable to being unpleasant without cause, especially
