I tried using someone else answer and putting it in my own words but It didn't work.
The book is called "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea".
Answer:
Ned's plan once the Nautilus had entered the Mediterranean was to take the life boat to escape.
Explanation:
Ned planned that he was to be at the central companionway with Conseli and told Aronnax to wait in the library until he receives a signal from Ned. He took a monkey wrench with which he planned to unscrew the nuts that secured the life boat to the Nautilus, that action was meant to propel them to reach the surface of the water fast without anyone noticing.
The plan failed though, as the Nautilus travelled very fast once it entered the Mediterranean.

Read the excerpt from the essay "Abroad at Home: An American Story" by Anthony Lewis. They were boat people. They had left Vietnam on a small fishing boat, which lost its engine in a storm. They drifted for days until they made it to Malaysia -- swimming in at night to avoid patrol boats that had fired at them. . . . Phong Dinh tried unsuccessfully 25 times to get out of Vietnam by boat. He paid boatmen who never turned up . . . That left the oldest child, Van Dinh. She had helped her father pay the boatmen. But it was six years before she managed to leave herself: on a boat . . . Choose the option that correctly identifies all of the following about the excerpt from Lewis's essay: 1. Essay tone 2. What the tone reveals about the universal themeA.1. realistic2. The tone reveals that, universally, humankind is perseverant and will do what it takes to survive.B.1. concerned2. The tone reveals that, universally, humankind will not persevere.C.1. impersonal2. The tone reveals that any community that relies on boats for transportation struggles immensely.D.1. unrealistic2. The tone reveals that the plans of this culture were not well planned for success.
Answer:
A. realistic. The tone reveals that, universally, humankind is perseverant and will do what it takes to survive.
Explanation:
The tone that correctly identifies and reveals the universal theme is option A as it is realistic and reveals that humans will persevere even in the face of difficult times and will do anything to survive.
This is shown by the attempts by Phong Dinh to leave Vietnam by boat and being unsuccessful 25 times as the paid boatmen never showed up.
The will to survive and succeed was shown when his eldest child Van Dinh managed to finally leave on a boat after six years.
what evidence from "To build a fire" might lead you to this inference
This question is missing the inference. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
What evidence from "To Build a Fire" might lead you to this inference "The man is too confident."
Answer:
The evidence that leads to the inference "The man is too confident" is:
"The old-timer had been very serious in laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself. Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought."
Explanation:
The main character in Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire" ends up freezing to death, defeated by nature while traveling in bad weather on his own. As a matter of fact, we may say that this man was killed by his own arrogance. Nature did not do anything special or more violent to put him down. It was his exacerbated confidence in himself and his abilities that made him go out by himself. An old-man, more experienced and, therefore, wiser, did warn him not to do so. The man, however, chose to ignore his advice. As we know, the archetype of the old man works as a guide, a mentor in stories and movies. Heeding their advice brings success. Ignoring it, as this man did, results in tragedy.
Answer:
The man refuses to listen to the advice of men more experienced than he is

A well-written buffer Group of answer choices Is a neutral but meaningful statement so the receiver continues reading. Hints that good news will follow to prompt the receiver to read further. Refers to something completely unrelated to the bad news so the receiver won't know that bad news is coming. Is all of the above.
Answer:
A. Is a neutral but meaningful statement so the receiver continues reading.
Explanation:
A well-written or oral buffer is an indirect approach to relay messages (most times negative messages). It is a neutral but meaningful statement that encourages the reader to continue reading. Sometimes we could be given the role of communicating a negative message to an individual or group of people. A buffer can be used in the opening statement to calm the individual before the message is delivered.
For example, some Human Resource officers when trying to tell a candidate that they were not chosen for a job, often begin the mail with sentences like, "Thank you, dear candidate, for your interest in the advertised role. But we would not proceed with your application because of the number of more qualified candidates for the job." The first sentence is a buffer statement because it has a neutral, and calming undertone, but is still meaningful.
The Fowl in the Pot by Stanley J. Weyman (excerpt) Arriving at a house, which, if we might judge in the darkness, seemed to be of rather greater pretensions than its fellows, our guide stopped, and whispered to us to mount some steps to a raised wooden gallery, which intervened between the lane and the doorway. On this, besides the door, a couple of unglazed windows looked out. The shutter of one was ajar, and showed us a large, bare room, lighted by a couple of rushlights. Directing us to place ourselves close to this shutter, the innkeeper knocked at the door in a peculiar fashion, and almost immediately entered, going at once into the lighted room. Peering cautiously through the window we were surprised to find that the only person within, save the newcomer, was a young woman, who, crouching over a smoldering fire, was crooning a lullaby while she attended to a large black pot. Which word best describes the tone of the excerpt? A. troubled B. mysterious C. frustrated D. mocking
Answer:
B. mysterious
Explanation:
The word that best describes the tone of the excerpt is that it was mysterious.
According to the excerpt of The Fowl In The Pot by Stanley J. Weyman, a group of people arrived at a certain house at night and the house seemed "to be of rather greater pretensions".
Also, their guide was whispering to them as if there was something malevolent lurking around. The guide also proceeded to knock at the door "in a peculiar fashion" and when the group of people looked into the house, they saw a young woman who was bent over a fire and "crooning a lullaby while attending to a large black pot".

What is the symbolic meaning of the relationship between light and dark in the story?
Answer:
Light and dark imagery pervade this story. At the beginning, we learn that the narrator's street has "dark muddy lanes" and "dark dripping gardens." His own street is "blind," as if it were also in the dark, even though “blind” also means that the street is a dead-end. These elements of darkness suggest the narrator's lack of awareness, as well as the blindness that exists in his own community.
Light is associated with Mangan's sister, the narrator's love interest, whom he knows mostly through observing her from his house and whose beauty intrigues him. He sees her figure by way of "the light from the half-opened door." The bazaar is also associated with light when the narrator is looking forward to it. Later, though, because he arrives at the bazaar late, he finds the hall with closed stalls and "in darkness."
Joyce uses light and dark to develop the theme of harboring false hopes and having them exposed. The narrator builds the expectation that Mangan’s sister and the trip to the bazaar will lift him from his drab existence. When he arrives at the bazaar, his dreams are shattered by the shabbiness of the place. The darkening hall symbolizes the narrator’s realization that his dream was an illusion.

Though your grades at BECE were very good none of the school you choose offered you admission. Write a letter to your district education officer about this unfair treatment and request that something is done

The District Education Officer,
Secondary Education Management Board,

Sir,
COMPLAINT OF UNFAIR DENIAL OF ADMISSION
I humbly write in order to appeal to you sir in my quest for redress with respect to unfair denial of admission into class X irrespective of my impressive performance at the 2020 BECE examination conducted on March 4, 2020.
I sat for the BECE examination on the said date at Oxfords International School Aba where I passed all my subjects at credit level as required by the Abia State Ministry of Education. I was among the four students in my school who received the principal's merit award for excellent performance at the 2020 BECE examination.
However, when the placement list of candidates who were qualified for admission into class X in schools across Aba district was published, my name was missing from the list. I quickly contacted the principal of my school, Dr. Moses Ineh. He in turn, relayed my complaint to the head of school exams, Aba district Education Commission. The response of the head of school exams was disheartening. He said that I will have to repeat class IX since he has concluded the posting of students to high schools in Aba district and has sent a comprehensive list of successful candidates to Abia state ministry of education.
Please sir, I humbly request that you use your good office to intervene in this matter by directing the head of school exams to post me to one of the high schools in Aba district so that I can continue my education together with my classmates. It will not be a fair treatment if I am forced to repeat this examination next year irrespective of my impressive performance this year. I have attached a copy of my result notification to this letter.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.
Yours Faithfully,

It shows that the plants are dying in the sun. It shows that the plants had too much water. It shows that someone needs to take better care of the plants.
Answer:
Personification means it has traits only humans have
"The beans picked themselves up and were looking fine" means that the plants are healthier because when something has a good posture and is standing up tall it is better. It also says looking fine so it looks better than before.
