Answer:
Anna Avalon saved the narrator from the house fire that must have been started by the ashes that her father must have thrown in the bin. She took off her own clothes, and with just her inner-wear, she jumped through to the window with the help of a half broken ladder and brought the little girl safely down.
Explanation:
The narrator of "The Leap" Louise Erdrich tells of how she was indebted to her now-blind mother for her very existence. Not only once, but thrice is she indebted to her for the life she is living now.
One such incident was when she was seven years old. The narrator was asleep on the first floor of the house when a fire started and engulfed the whole house. It also burned the only stairway that led upstairs. The babysitter had called the emergency workers and had gone outside. When the narrator's parents came, her mother Anna Avalon decided to take things on her own and jumped into the room through the window. Using her past training as a circus performer, "she made her way up and, along her stomach, inched the length of a bough that curved above the branch that brushed the roof". Then she took the narrator and "flew" out of the window and safely into the firefighter's net, thus saving her life.

Researchers studied the relationship between glucose concentration
Answer:
The viability of the TMJ disc cell decreased significantly (P <0.0001) without glucose. With glucose present, the decrease in oxygen levels significantly increased viability (P <0.0001), while a decrease in glucose concentration significantly decreased viability (P <0.0001). With glucose present, decreased oxygen levels significantly reduced ATP production (P <0.0001) and matrix synthesis (P <0.0001). A decrease in glucose concentration significantly decreased collagen synthesis (P <0.0001). The interaction between glucose and oxygen was significant with respect to cell viability (P <0.0001), ATP production (P = 0.00015) and the synthesis of collagen (P = 0.0002) and proteoglycans (P <0.0001).
Although both glucose and oxygen are important, glucose is the limiting nutrient for the survival of the TMJ disc cells. At low oxygen levels, the production of ATP, collagen and proteoglycan is severely inhibited. These results suggest that there may be more pronounced nutrient gradients in the TMJ disc and it may be vulnerable to pathological events that impede the supply of nutrients.

Michele reasons that her client may want to live in a predominantly Korean neighborhood and therefore only shows homes in this neighborhood. What is Michele guilty of...?
Answer:
Michele is guilty of violating the Fair Housing Act
Explanation:
The Fair Housing Act mandates that all landlords, sales agents, lenders, buyers and renters be aware of practises that are discriminatory and not engage in it. This act is part of the Civil Rights law in America and enacted by Congress.
Examples of discriminatory practises include setting different prices for a house or apartment, delay or refusal to perform maintenance for select tenants or restricting renting or buying privileges based on gender, race or nationality.
Michele assumes her client who is Korean may want to live in an area dominated by Koreans and only shows homes that are in the Korean dominated neighborhood. What Michele did here was restricting or limiting renting or sale of property based on nationality.

Every month, adriano recevies a subscrition fee of 5$ from each of the subscribers to his website. The website had 200 subsribers last month.
This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Adriano runs a website that helps writers write better stories. Every month, Adriano receives a subscription fee of $5 from each of the subscribers to his website. The website had 200 subscribers last month. This month 40 new members joined the website and 10 members canceled their subscription.
How much money will Adriano’s online business earn this month?
Answer:
His online business will earn $1,150 this month.
Explanation:
The initial number of subscribers is 200.
Then, 40 more people subscribed. 200 + 40 = 240
Also, 10 people canceled their subscriptions. 240 - 10 = 230
If each subscriber pays a fee of $5, we only need to multiply that amount by the number of subscribers left. 230 x 5 = 1150
Therefore, Adriano will earn $1,150 this month.

What kind of animals did Hera send Hercules to kill as a baby?
Answer:2 snakes
Explanation:
Final answer:
Hercules was sent to kill the Nemean Lion and the Hydra as a baby.
Explanation:
Hera sent Hercules to kill the Nemean Lion and the Hydra as a baby.
The Nemean Lion was a fearsome creature with impenetrable skin, so Hercules had to strangle it to death using his bare hands.
The Hydra was a multi-headed serpent, and Hercules had to cut off its heads one by one. However, the challenge was that when one head was cut off, two more would grow in its place. Hercules eventually defeated the Hydra by cauterizing the stumps of the heads with fire, preventing them from regenerating.
What are the capitals of the two states that contain the word "north?" A Raleigh, Columbia B Pierre, Columbia C Raleigh, Bismarck D Bismarck, Pierre
Answer:
C. Raleigh, Bismarck
Explanation:
These are the two capitals of the two states that contain the word "north." These states are North Dakota and North Carolina. The capital city of North Dakota is Bismarck, while the capital city of North Carolina is Raleigh. A capital is a city that has the highest status within an administrative region, often serving as the seat of government.
The capitals of the two U.S. states with 'north' in their names, North Carolina and North Dakota, are Raleigh and Bismarck, respectively.
The capitals of the two states that contain the word "north" are (C) Raleigh and Bismarck.
1. Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina. North Carolina is located in the southeastern part of the United States.
2. Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota. North Dakota is located in the northern central part of the United States.
So, option (C) is the correct answer, with Raleigh as the capital of North Carolina and Bismarck as the capital of North Dakota.
Option (A) is not correct because Columbia is not the capital of any state with "north" in its name.
Option (B) is not correct because Pierre is the capital of South Dakota, not North Dakota.
Option (D) is not correct because it lists the capitals of both Dakotas incorrectly.

Is elaborate positive, negative, or a neutral connotation?
The word 'elaborate' may have a positive, negative, or neutral connotation depending on the context in which it is used. Connotations are crucial for conveying the tone and meaning in writing, and their perception can vary based on the setting and usage.
The connotation of the word 'elaborate' can be positive, negative, or neutral, depending on its use in a sentence and the context. Since connotations are the associations that words carry beyond their dictionary definitions, they play a crucial role in the tone and meaning of a text. It is important to choose words carefully, especially in academic writing, to ensure the intended message is conveyed appropriately. Words like 'diverse' often carry positive connotations, while others such as 'brainwashing' have negative connotations. Moreover, the setting in which a word is used can significantly influence its connotation; for instance, the word 'diner' may have positive, neutral, or negative connotations depending on individual associations and the broader cultural context.
