The Book of Dragons
Chapter III The Deliverers of Their Country, an excerpt
By E. Nesbit
It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark—only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried—not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind—and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.
When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural—rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.
Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.
"Oh, yes—it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."
Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"
The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope—then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.
"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."
"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."
The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.
But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"
The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.
"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."
It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.
So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.
And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.
"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."
And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

Effie got something in her eye.
She went to her father.
He got it out, but he started to use strange language to describe what he got out. "curious" was his first response. It was language he never used.It's very interesting was his second response. He never said that.Her father takes the time to describe the creature. He uses very scientific language, though simple.The story progresses to her brother who fished something he really didn't recognize out of his tea.
The professor buys it. He's excited.
Papers were full of stories about the winged lizards.

Which sentence is the most effective thesis statement? Black rhinos are my favorite animals because I saw them when I went on a safari in Africa. The population of black rhinos was less than 2500 in 1993 and has been falling every since. Black rhinos are well adapted to their life in Africa but are in danger of extinction.
Answer:
Black rhinos are well adapted to their life in Africa but are in danger of extinction.
Explanation:
A thesis statement is a concise summary of what an article or essay is all about and is usually found in the introduction page.
Therefore, the sentence that has the most effective thesis statement is "Black rhinos are well adapted to their life in Africa but are in danger of extinction".
This is because it gives the thesis statement in a formal way

Which sentence below uses the correct verb form?
A.
Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, have been praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
B.
Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, was praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
C.
Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, are praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
D.
Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, were praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
Answer: B. Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, was praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.
Explanation;
Option A is not correct because the subject "Lisa's dad" is singular, but the verb "have been" is plural.
Option C is not correct because the verb part "are praised" is not correct since "are" is plural but the subject "Lisa's dad" is singular.
Option D is not correct because the verb "were praised" is plural and cannot match with the singular subject "Lisa's dad".
Therefore, option B is the only correct option left.

Which statement best explains how the authors develop their claim across the two passages?
Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that the general public needed to know about the terrors of involuntary servitude.
Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that Eastern European farmers and enslaved people on sugar plantations shared a common goal.
Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.
Both passages use evidence to support the claim that lawmakers had more power and influence than abolitionists had.
Answer:
Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.
Explanation:
The passages you were given are the following:
Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, lawmakers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom.
Clarkson and others who believed as he did, who in the coming decades would be called abolitionists, realized that while that link gave the English a stake in slavery, it also gave the antislavery forces an opportunity. If they could reverse the flow—make the horrors of slavery visible to those who benefited from it—they might be able to end the vile practice forever. The abolitionists were brilliant. They created the most effective public relations campaign in history, inventing techniques that we use to this day. When he spoke, Clarkson brandished whips and handcuffs used on slaves; he published testimonials from sailors and ship doctors who described the atrocities and punishments on slave ships. When Olaudah Equiano published his memoir, he educated his readers about the horrors of the slave trade. And then, when the English began to understand what slavery really was, Clarkson and others organized what we would call a boycott of "the blood-sweetened beverage."
The given passages are from the book Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. The book tells about the history of sugar from its discovery in New Guinea around 7000 B.C. to the 21st century. The sugar industry was based on slavery for a long time, which is what the book focuses on.
These two passages tell us about how the knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about slavery. People were beginning to notice how poorly the slaves were being treated and began fighting for their rights.

What is summarizing?to express the most important aspects or ideas of something or someone in a concise and straightforward manner: I'll merely briefly summarize the main aspects of the argument.
Summarizing can be done, for instance, by writing a three- to four-sentence explanation that covers all the important concepts of a story or poem.
We can only briefly review the investigation's main findings here. I'd like to briefly explain what I'm attempting to express using two verses from the Bible.

Should protesting against the United States government be considered an act of terrorism?
Answer:
YES
Explanation:
Its an act to be violent and no one should tolerate it
Answer:
Protests are meant to be peaceful, and they are different from riots. Protesting for a change against the government should not be considered an act of terrorism, as it is even stated in the constitution that people have a right to speak up for a change. Riots should be considered an act of terrorism, as they cause harm to the innocent people that are targeted within those groups of people. A protest is meant to be a peaceful way to settle a matter, therefore I do not think they should be considered an act of terrorism.
However, if people claim to be protesting, and harming people along the way, this should be concluded as a riot and taken care of. Protests should be monitored to ensure that nothing gets out of hand, as some people take these names for granted.

How have Ponyboy’s feelings for Darry changed since the beginning of the story? Why? Use examples
Answer:
At the beginning of the novel, Ponyboy resents Darry for being too strict and always bothering him for not using his head. He recognizes the sacrifices that Darry has made to raise his two little brothers, but still thinks Darry just doesn't care for him at all.
But in Chapter 5, when Soda and Darry come to the hospital, Ponyboy has a revelation. He sees his oldest brother cry for the first time in years - he didn't even cry at their parents' funeral - and realizes that "Darry did care about me, maybe as much as he cared about Soda, and because he cared he was trying too hard to make something of me." He understands that Darry is terrified of losing another person he loves, and wonders "how I could ever have thought him hard and unfeeling."
In Chapter 10, when Ponyboy wakes up momentarily, he asks Soda if Darry is sorry he's sick. He also worries throughout the chapter that maybe he didn't ask for Darry while he was delirious, but Soda finally confirms that he did. This concern for Darry's feelings is a huge change from the way Ponyboy regarded his oldest brother in the beginning of the novel. Now he is worried that, because deep down he feels he can relate better to Soda, he might have left Darry out in his unconscious babbling.

PARAGRAPH 7:
The Ghost Town
7 Today, Centralia is an eerie ghost town. The wafting smoke and shifting soil are too dangerous for most to brave. The detour signs on Route 61 give no indication of the troubles in Centralia; most cars just veer around the smoldering town. But for those who are fascinated by the fire, Centralia has become a sort of mecca. Tourists come to stare at the devastated landscape, and conspiracy theorists gather to share their outlandish ideas. Of the visitors, the researchers are the most hopeful. They study Centralia's soil, plants, and animals, and they believe that the effects of the fire will shed light upon the processes that created this planet. Though a terrible tragedy, the Centralia fire may someday lead to breakthroughs in science and technology.
QUESTION:
What is the central idea of paragraph 7?
A.
Because of the lack of signs, many are unaware of the impact of the fire.
B.
Because of the fire, Centralia has seen a boost in tourism and scientific research.
C.
The population of Centralia has dropped significantly since the fire started.
D.
As a result of the conspiracies, many people do not believe the fire was real.
