Stuck
by Jon Caswell
Kerry climbed into his over-sized, four-wheel-drive truck, which stood three or four feet off the ground. He turned the key in the ignition. Nothing happened. He turned it again, but still nothing. He looked at Lisa in the passenger seat and could tell from her eyes that she was frightened.
"I told you I didn't want to come out here in this old truck," she said. "I told you, but you wouldn't listen. You better get us out of here. I hate this old truck!"
Kerry looked out the window. The woods were beautiful in the dusk. The ferns were like velvet covering the ground, punctuated by the tall spires of the pine trees. He loved taking his truck off-road. Beautiful as it was, Kerry knew this was no place to be if it rained, and it sure looked like rain was coming. He could smell it in the air.
He turned the key again, with the same result as before. Lisa started to say something, but Kerry put his hand up. "I don't need your opinion," he said. Kerry opened the door and climbed down. He walked to the front of the truck and popped the hood and stepped onto the bumper so he could look at the engine compartment.
There wasn't enough light to see anything, and he climbed back down and got a flashlight out of the cab. Stepping onto the bumper, he pointed the light at the engine and saw the loose wire immediately. The wire from the ignition switch to the starter had come unplugged. He figured it must have happened during the ride up the mountain; there had been some pretty rough patches. He reached across the engine and plugged it in.
"Turn the key," he yelled.
Lisa moved into the driver's seat and turned the key. The engine in the big truck fired to life. Kerry smiled and slammed the hood as he jumped to the ground. Lisa scooted over as he climbed into the cab. "I knew you could do it," she said.
The first drops of rain splattered the windshield. "We have to get out of here before that storm moves in." He engaged the four-wheel drive and began turning the truck around. That took a bit of maneuvering, but once they were headed down the mountain, Lisa relaxed a little bit.
"Hey, see if you can find that weather station on the radio," Kerry said.
Answer:
A: Turning the car around.
Explanation: I just got it right on a test
PART A: Which statement identifies the central idea of the text?
Based on the available options, the central idea of the text is most likely: D. Humans can contract dangerous diseases after coming into contact with infected animals.
Here's why:
Option A: Not every animal carries a virus transmittable to humans. The text acknowledges potential risks but doesn't advocate complete avoidance.
Option B: The text doesn't claim animals actively increase human immunity. It focuses on transmission risks.
Option C: This is explicitly contradicted by the text, which mentions examples of diseases harmful to both humans and animals.
Therefore, option D accurately captures the overall point of the text: highlighting the risk of humans contracting serious diseases through contact with infected animals.
Complete question:
Nearly 75 percent of new, or emerging, infectious diseases in people were first spread by animals. Indeed, half of all germs known to cause human disease come from other animals. Some sources were birds, bats, and other types of wildlife.Livestock1 and pet animals have spread many other diseases. Scientists refer to the infections that people pick up from animals as being zoonotic.
Which statement identifies the central idea of the text?
A. It is safer to avoid all contact with animals than to risk contracting a virus.
B. Animals help the humans they come into contact with build an immunity to diseases.
C. Diseases that seriously harm animals have little to no effect on humans.
D. Humans can contract dangerous diseases after coming into contact with infected animals.

Three characteristics of fixed potery
Answer:
lines of equal length. a structure that follows emotions. a set number of lines. irregular rhyme schemes
Explanation:
yw
The three characteristics of fixed pottery are:
1. They are fired at high temperatures, typically between 1000°C to 1200°C.
2. The body of the pottery becomes a ceramic material, which means it is non-porous and hard.
3. The pottery becomes resistant to water and can be used for storage and cooking purposes.
Fixed pottery, also known as fired or baked pottery, undergoes a transformation through the process of firing in a kiln. This process alters the physical and chemical properties of the clay, resulting in pottery with distinct characteristics.
1. High Firing Temperature: Fixed pottery is subjected to high temperatures in a kiln. The typical range is between 1000°C to 1200°C (1832°F to 2192°F). This high temperature causes the clay to vitrify, or become glass-like, which results in a stronger and more durable material.
2. Ceramic Material: After firing, the clay body transforms into a ceramic material. This means that the clay particles partially melt and fuse together, creating a non-porous and hard surface. The resulting pottery does not absorb water, which is crucial for its functionality, especially for items like pots and pans that need to hold liquids.
3. Water Resistance: Due to the vitrification process, fixed pottery becomes impervious to water. This characteristic is essential for items that are intended to hold water or other liquids, or for use in cooking where exposure to water and moisture is common. The water resistance also means that the pottery can be easily cleaned and is hygienic for food storage and preparation.
These characteristics make fixed pottery suitable for a wide range of applications, from decorative items to functional kitchenware and storage containers. The durability and resistance to water are key factors that have made fired pottery an essential part of human civilization for thousands of years."

Then, many of the people were captured for Slavery. The ones that could fly shed their wings. They couldn’t take their wings across the water on the slave ships. Too crowded, don’t you know.
The folks were full of misery, then. Got sick with the up and down of the sea. So they forgot about flyin when they could no longer breathe the sweet scent of Africa.
Say the people who could fly kept their power, although they shed their wings. They kept their secret magic in the land of slavery. They looked the same as the other people from Africa who had been coming over, who had dark skin. Say you couldn’t tell anymore one who could fly from one who couldn’t.
—“The People Could Fly,”
Virginia Hamilton
After reviewing the passage from “The People Could Fly,” write two to four sentences explaining which details are factual and which are fictional.
The factual part is that the people were transported as slaves and in factual part is about the wings
Explanation:
The factual part of the narrative recounts the slave trade.
This means that the narrative where the slaves are put up on the ships and then taken are very much real narratives.
The fictional and figurative part of the narrative is the wings which are here used to describe freedom.
The people on the ship went without wings and thus lost their freedom forever.
There was no more a way to distinguish them from the others so there was no matter of difference now
Answer:
The folktale uses real historical details, such as the crowded ships enslaved people were forced to travel in. However, the folktale says that enslaved people lost their wings, when what they really lost was their freedom.

(OLGA, in the regulation blue dress of a teacher at a girl's high school, is walking about correcting exercise books; MASHA, in a black dress, with a hat on her knees, sits and reads a book; IRINA, in white, stands about, with a thoughtful expression.)
OLGA: It's just a year since father died last May the fifth, on your name-day, Irina. It was very cold then, and snowing. I thought I would never survive it, and you were in a dead faint. And now a year has gone by and we are already thinking about it without pain, and you are wearing a white dress and your face is happy. (Clock strikes twelve) And the clock struck just the same way then. (Pause) I remember that there was music at the funeral, and they fired a volley in the cemetery.

B.
Henry. (1990). Making the grade in today's schools." Time, 135, pp 23-31.
C.
W.A.Henry, III. (1990). "Making the Grade in Today's Schools,"Time, vol. 135 at 23-31, April 8, 1990.
D.
Answer:
A. Henry, W.A., III. (1990, April 8). Making the grade in today's schools. Time, 135, 23-31.
Explanation:
From the given answers, I'm presuming the citation needs to be written in APA style.
Basic form for citing periodicals (magazines, journals, newspaper etc.) is:
- the author's name - only last name is fully written followed by initials
- publication year - written in parentheses, for magazines and newspapers we write year and date
- title of the article - only first word and proper nouns are capitalized
- the title if the periodical and volume/issue number - in title case and italicized
- page number - for newspaper written with p.
So, since this is an article from the magazine, it should be cited as:
Henry, W. A., III. (1990, April 8). Making the grade in today's schools. Time, 135, 28-31.
The Great Gatsby.
"I intended to find rooms in New York City."
What does the word "intended" tell you about his plan?
Explanation:
it was part of his plan but later scrapt out
Final answer:
The word 'intended' in 'The Great Gatsby' suggests a plan or goal that might not have been executed, reflecting F. Scott Fitzgerald's themes of aspirations and the gap between intention and reality, particularly during the Jazz Age.
Explanation:
In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the word "intended" suggests that the character had a plan or goal in mind but does not necessarily imply that the plan was carried out. This indicates a degree of uncertainty or that the original plan may have been changed or abandoned. Fitzgerald's work often explores the themes of aspirations and the disparity between intention and action, which is evident through the narrator's perspective, in the richly detailed settings and the nuanced portrayal of characters during the Jazz Age. For example, in the lines from Fitzgerald's work, the characters' complex and individual stories are emphasized, saying that their actions and motivations are not meant to symbolize something larger, but to illustrate personal narratives set against the backdrop of the 1920s.

Among the wonderful deeds of Hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. This arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty . . . but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect. . . . That it is true his other virtues would not have been sufficient for him may be proved by the case of Scipio, that most excellent man . . . his army rebelled in Spain; this arose from nothing but his too great forbearance, which gave his soldiers more license than is consistent with military discipline.

Which words in the passage have negative connotations?
1.inhuman, cruelty, rebelled,
2.fear,loved,virtues
3.foreign,prince,produce
How do the words with negative connotations support the claim?
1.by defending the actions of a leader who is to be fear
2.by describing the action of a weak leader
3.by comparing the leaders Hannibal and Scipio
The words in the passage that have negative connotation are, inhuman, cruelty, rebelled, and the the words with negative connotations that support the claim is, by defending the actions of a leader who is to be fear.
What is negative connotation?Negative connotations are the words that denote bad feelings and emotions.
Because negative connotations are the words that denote bad feelings and emotions, here the words like inhuman, cruelty, and rebelled give the impact of something negative in the passage, and the claim that supports the negative connotation in the passage is by defending the actions of a leader who is to be feared, as it shows that the leader has fear and that the leader conveys a message that it is much safer to be feared than loved. Thus, the words in the passage that have negative connotations are: inhuman, cruelty, rebelled, and the words with negative connotations that support the claim are those that support the claim by defending the actions of a leader who is to be feared.

What does paragraph 5 reveal about Paige?
A.she fears going out on the lake.
B.she wants to avoid her grandparents.
C.she prefers the outdoors to coming inside.
D.she wants to play with the neighborhood girls
Answer:
B. She wants to avoid her grandparents.
Explanation:
In Paige Hook's Last Regrets, she recounts how she was "made" to go fishing along with her brothers by her grandparents. She recounts how she "hated the boat", her grandparents' pride and joy. But despite her protests, she went along with them for the fishing trip.
Considering the way she tried to hide when the "white monster" came into their driveway, how she tried to find an excuse to not go, or how she seemed to lost fishing lines a lot, all seems to suggest that she did not want to go along with her grandparents for fishing. She also reveals "I liked riding in boats when they were going fast. I liked riding in boats that I could water-ski behind", thus confirming her disinterest in fishing.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
The tempest in lines 16-17 what is personified in these lines
Answer:
The storm is being personified in lines 16-17 of The Tempest.
Explanation:
Personification means giving human traits to an inanimate object. Personification is a literary device used by many authors to add depth and interest to their writing.
In lines 16-17 of The Tempest: "You are a councilor.
If you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the present,
we will not hand a rope more"
The elements in question refer to the storm, which was given a human trait with the sentence 'if you can command these elements to silence...'.
You can command or silence a person, but you can't do that to a storm.
So, the statement personified the storm (elements) with the human trait of being commanded and silence.
Without the specific lines, it's hard to determine the personification in The Tempest. Generally, Shakespeare often personifies inanimate objects or abstract concepts.
Explanation:Without the specific lines from 'The Tempest', it's challenging to clarify what is personified. Nevertheless, personification is a common literary device used by Shakespeare in his works. An example from 'The Tempest' could be when Prospero speaks to the spirits controlling the tempest, giving them human characteristics. However, for an exact answer, I would need the specific lines you are referring to.

Simple, compound, complex, compound complex?
1. They were out of tacos, and my brother was still hungry.
2. We hurried to another restaurant to buy food.
After we got more food for my brother, he was happy, and I knew we would need to plan ahead of our next meal.
Answer:
1. Compound
2. Simple
3. Compound-Complex
Explanation:
Compound sentences are those that link two independent clauses, usually with a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so). Simple sentences just have one subject and one verb. Complex sentences are usually made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause. Compound-complex are those that are both compound and complex.
(Note that independent clauses are sentences that can stand-alone and are grammatically and literally correct; eg. I went to the store. Dependent clauses are sentences that cannot stand alone because they're missing either a subject or a verb; eg. because he ran.)
1. "They were out of tacos, and my brother was still hungry."
We see that the first clause "They were out of tacos" is independent because it can stand alone, and the second clause "my brother was still hungry" is also independent. They are linked by "and", which is a coordinating conjunction, so this is a compound sentence.
2. "We hurried to another restaurant to buy food."
There is a simple subject, "we", and a simple verb "hurried". Since there are no different clauses - just one - this is a simple sentence.
3. "After we got more food for my brother, he was happy, and I knew we would need to plan ahead of our next meal."
Notice that we have the dependent clause "After we got more food for my brother"; the two independent clauses "he was happy" and "I knew we would need to plan ahead of our next meal"; and a coordinating conjunction "and". Thus, this is compound-complex.
Hope this helps!

Final answer:
The word 'preferential' is the closest synonym to 'exclusive,' as it also conveys a sense of a special right or privilege reserved for a particular group or person.
Explanation:
The closest synonym for the word exclusive is preferential. This term refers to a right or privilege that is given only to a particular person or group of people, much like 'exclusive' indicates something restricted to a specific group or offering a unique advantage or access. 'Changeable' implies something that is variable or can be altered, 'brutal' means extremely cruel or harsh, and 'essential' denotes something absolutely necessary or fundamental, none of which capture the exclusivity aspect.
