Answer:
D
Explanation:
Choice A would make sense for the first sentence, but not the rest. Choice B is supported by the part of the passage that says, "...I am weightless again, flying past the other runners". The choice C isn't supported whatsoever because the passage does not say whether or not Squeaky wins, nor does it talk about working hard to prepare for the race. The choice D is supported by the positive self-talk and the resulting physical response (running faster) that the passage describes. This is why I believe D is the best answer.
D. Success is possible if one truly believes in oneself

Explanation:
account of Mark Twain’s experiences as a riverboat captain.
I soon discovered two things. One was that a vessel would not be likely to sail for the mouth of the Amazon under ten or twelve years; and the other was that the nine or ten dollars still left in my pocket would not suffice for so imposing an exploration as I had planned, even if I could afford to wait for a ship. Therefore it followed that I must contrive a new career. The "Paul Jones” was now bound for St. Louis. I planned a siege against my pilot, and at the end of three hard days he surrendered. He agreed to teach me the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis for five hundred dollars, payable out of the first wages I should receive after graduating. I entered upon the small enterprise of "learning” twelve or thirteen hundred miles of the great Mississippi River with the easy confidence of my time of life. If I had really known what I was about to require of my faculties, I should not have had the courage to begin. I supposed that all a pilot had to do was to keep his boat in the river, and I did not consider that that could be much of a trick, since it was so wide.
Which statement best summarizes the passage?
Twain feels confident about learning the Mississippi River.
Twain finds that piloting a riverboat is not as easy as it looks.
Twain convinces his pilot to teach him how to navigate a riverboat.
Twain is concerned about not having enough money to survive.

What did we learn about the character Curley in chapter 2 and why is it important to the story (Of mice and men)? Explain
Answer:
He is described as “a thin young man with a brown face, with brown eyes and a head of tightly curled hair” which is why he is called Curley. Curley is described as dressing in a somewhat aristocratic way, as if to separate himself from the lowly ranch hands. The glove is to keep his hand soft for his wife. Curley is the boss's son, and because his father only appears once, Curley is the main representative in the novella of the land-owning class. When this revenge plan fails and he loses face, Curley picks a fight with the vulnerable Lennie to reassert his status.

Think about how the author of "The Bone Wars" develops and explains the rivalry between Cope and Marsh over the course of the article. What are three central ideas about the rivalry? How is each idea developed and explained?What details support each one? In your answer, be sure to • identify three central ideas presented about the rivalry • explain how the text develops and explains these ideas • use details from the article in your answer
Answer:
The Bone Wars is an episode in the history of paleontology that led to the discovery of some of the most famous dinosaurs.
Explanation:
The rivalry between Cope and Marsh was what led them to commit illicit acts and even destroy several dinosaur bones in order to "destroy" each other.
They began to collect fossil bones, and hidden from Cope, Marsh had paid for the bones to easily reach him.
Although both were great scientists, instead of working together they attacked each other in a public way.
However, this enmity helped to discover large species such as Diplodocus or Anisonchus Copehater.
Finally, the one who "won the war" was Marsh, who found 80 new species of dinosaur, while Cope found 56.

Answer:
Zeus was saved from being eaten by his father Kronos. When he was older Zeus rescued his brothers and sisters, fought his father and the other Titans and banished them. He and his brothers then drew lots to divide rule of the world. Zeus became the god of the sky, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Hades, the god of the underworld. Zeus was also known as the father of the gods on Mount Olympus and men.

Answer:
In Greek mythology, Medusa (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Μέδουσα "guardian, protectress")[1] also called Gorgo, was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. It is in the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses that her story is most deeply elaborated. She was lovely, according to the poem—until she and Poseidon had sex in Athena’s temple.[2] Athena then punished her for this violation, by turning her into the monstrous, stony-glanced creature that we know. Thus those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto,[3] although the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto.[4]
Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon[5] until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
According to Hesiod and Aeschylus, she lived and died on an island named Sarpedon, somewhere near Cisthene. The 2nd-century BC novelist Dionysios Skytobrachion puts her somewhere in Libya, where Herodotus had said the Berbers originated her myth, as part of their religion. She remained a priestess to Athena after her death and was risen with fresh hair.

Explanation:
The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but never before had they undertaken something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been hoping for — their chance to show the world they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls.
What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text?
Answer:
3. By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League gained enough strength in numbers to have some power.
Explanation:
Joan Dash's "We Shall Not Be Moved," tells the dramatic story of how the women's union led a massive strike in the history of America. The story of women workers protesting and organizing strikes, women activists working towards ensuring better and equal opportunities to their female counterparts became one of the most important events in labor history.
In the given passage, the narrator recounts how women trade union "organized strikes" that were big, bringing a turnout of "[an] army" totally unexpected by the League. The strike was to show the men or the government as a whole that "they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls."
This detail gives the conclusion that the organizational structure of the working women shows how the Women's Trade Union League managed to gain enough strength in numbers to assert their ability and power.
Thus, the correct answer is option 3.
Answer:
C. By providing an organizational structure for working women, the Women’s Trade Union League gained enough strength in numbers to have some power.

One theme of the passage is "science cannot strictly predict nature." Write an essay analyzing how the author develops this theme. Use evidence from the passage to support your response.
Answer:
The theme of a passage is more than just the main idea of the passage, or the moral of the story. Similarly to a moral, it is the message or moral that the author is trying to convey to his or her audience, however it is typically more complex. Usually a theme is not extremely specific, but can be applied to life in general.

In Act I, Scene 2 of The Diary of Anne Frank, the Franks and Van Daans move into a hidden annex of an office building. After reading this scene, take a few minutes to consider what things you would take if you were forced to go into hiding. Write in your journal about what you would pack and why. Keep in mind that you would only be able to take what you could carry on your body or in a very small sack. Your response should be no less than 150 words in length.
Answer:
If I were forced to go into hiding I would wear many layers of cloths like five to six shirts and two to three leggings, a jacket with a lot of pockets and more under clothes. I would do this so I can wear fresh clothes as long as possible and the pockets on the jacket could help me carry more stuff like a phone or charger so I could contact friends and family and go live with them. I would also get my shoes because my slippers would break easily. In my sack I would carry as much as food I can so I would not starve to death. I would bring medicine so if my family got sick or injured they could heal faster and my important documents like ID and passport because when the Holocaust were to end I would flee to another country and I would really need them.
This is 150 words and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim? "A plantation was not a new technology but, rather, a new way of organizing planting, growing, cutting, and refining a crop." "By contrast, the plantation had only one purpose: to create a single product that could be grown, ground, boiled, dried, and sold to distant markets." "Since one cannot live on sugar, the crop grown on plantations could not even feed the people who harvested it." "The mill was right next to the crop, so that growing and grinding took place in the same spot."

Explanation:
Tarveling in the desert can be a challenge. The hot sun scorches. The sun beats down on you. So, how can you travel and stay safe? People use cars to get across the desert. People use camels to get across the desert. Be sure to bring plenty of water. It pays to be prepared. Edit this to help me to get this right please
Answer and Explanation:
Traveling in the desert can be challenging. The hot sun burns. The sun hits you. So, to travel safely in the desert it is worth preparing, take plenty of water and rent camels and cars whenever necessary.
Water is essential for this trip because it prevents dehydration which can be very dangerous and lead to death. For this reason, it is necessary to take plenty of water and drink it frequently, with water being the most important element to safely pass the desert.
The use of cars is also beneficial, as it provides coverage against the sun and promotes rapid travel, however, when car rental is not available it is necessary to rent camels, which will also be beneficial, as it prevents the tourist from making physical effort walking and decreases the body's water loss.

I could not remember the poem we (learn) ______ the week before. 8. The children collected the chestnuts that (fall) ______ from the tree. 9. (he / phone) ______ Angie before he went to see her in London? 10. She (not / ride) ______ a horse before that day
Answer:
1. The storm destroyed the sandcastle that we (build) had built.
2. He (not / be)had not been to Cape Town before 1997.
3. When she went out to play, she (do / already) had already done her homework.
4. My brother ate all of the cake that our mum (make) had made.
5. The doctor took off the plaster that he (put on) had put on six weeks before.
6. The waiter brought a drink that I (not / order) had not ordered.
7. I could not remember the poem we (learn) had learned the week before.
8. The children collected the chestnuts that (fall) had fallen from the tree.
9. (he / phone)Had he phoned Angie before he went to see her in London?
10. She (not / ride) had not ridden a horse before that day
Explanation:
The tense that we have to use to fill the blanks is past perfect simple. We use this tense when we want to talk about an action that took place before another event in the past. Usually, the other situation is in the past simple.
The structure of the past perfect is: the subject (he, she, it, we, you, they, you, I) followed by the auxiliary had and the verb in the past participle.
For example, in the sentence, John knew the town because he had visited it in the past. Knew, is the past simple of know while had visited, is the part of the sentence that is in past perfect simple, and we can see that is referring to an event in the past (knew the city) because of the action that he made previously to that (had visited it in the past).
The correct verb forms to fill the given blanks would be as follows:
1). The storm destroyed the sandcastle that we had built.
2). He had not been to Cape Town before 1997.
3). When she went out to play, she had already done her homework.
4). My brother ate all of the cake that our mum had made.
5). The doctor took off the plaster that he had put on six weeks before.
6). The waiter brought a drink that I had not ordered.
7). I could not remember the poem we had learned the week before.
8). The children collected the chestnuts that had fallen from the tree.
9). Had he phoned Angie before he went to see her in London?
10). She had not ridden a horse before that day.
Past perfect tense is employed to denote the actions that took place in the past prior to an event that happened in the past. The first action is framed using "Subject + had + V3" and the latter action is framed in past indefinite tense i.e. "Subject + V2."Thus, the above blanks would be as mentioned using this tense as follows.Learn more about "Verb form" here:

Rodriguez-Padilla celebrates the purity, honesty, and directness of his own childhood writing: "You wrote from the heart back then, about the things you cared about. You didn't care to be the next Kate Chopin or Oscar Wilde" (Eschholz 54). Yet, this piece begins with a quotation from Montaigne and includes several literary references. Is that considered a pardox? Is writing "from the heart" compatible with writing in a sophisticated or intellectually demanding way? Why, or why not?
Answer and Explanation:
1. This can be considered a paradox. This is because the quote states that the writer did not care about being Kate Chopin or Oscar Wilde, in this case, we can understand that he did not care about the great names of literature, but the author contradicts himself, when he uses quotes from well-known writers, showing that he, in fact, gives importance to the great names of literature. This is a paradox, that is, it is a contradiction that maintains a little bit of truth.
2. Writing "from the heart" is not compatible with writing in a sophisticated and formal way. This is because writing in a sophisticated way means writing in a rational, coherent and grammatically correct way, writing "from the heart" means writing with emotion, regardless of rules, linguistic devices or academic concepts, but in the way that emotion commands.

(school related; chess club, drama club, food club, school sports etc.)?
3. Are television, movies, and music responsible for teen violence?

5. Should the sale of “junk foods” be banned from Ontario secondary schools?
6. Do people depend too much on technology?
Answer:
this is for number 1
Explanation:
i believe the driving age should be lowered to age 15 because it can help kids be on time to school and not have to worry about their parents or the bus. They could also be able to go to work nd get jobs which can be good for their future. And then they will also not have to depend on parents as much and help with their little siblings.
I disagree with this because they are still kids and may not know how to drive well. That can result in more wrecks. also they can go to pairties where they can drink and do drugs which can damage their brain. finally it can be easier for them to be kidnapped being alone driving and they can worry there parents
