Write a journal entry of five to ten complete sentences. Answer both of the following questions. What do Annie’s flashbacks tell us about her past? How do you think Annie’s past will affect the way she deals with Helen?
Answer:
Annie's past tells us that she was a little bit like Helen.
The way Annie deals with Helen shows us that Annie had a lot of patience.
Answer:
Those flashbacks clearly showed how much she and her brother Jimmy suffered while living in the asylum. This affects the way she deals with Helen because she will do anything in her power to prevent Mr. and Mrs. Keller from sending her to one. She knows how it is to live in an asylum, where disabled children are treated horribly and worse than animals. Annie was strong-willed and determined to better herself while caring for Helen. In the end, all of Miss Sullivan's teaching resulted in Helen being able to learn to read and write.

Which statement best synthesizes the information from both sources?
Pesticides have led to the decline in the honeybee population, so they should be banned.
Honeybees are responsible for pollinating crops, so there would be food scarcity without bees.
Honeybees are important for food production, so people should work to ban pesticides that harm bees.
Pesticides pose a danger to bees, so people should take steps to reduce the use of dangerous pesticides.
Answer:
The main reasons for global bees-decline are industrial agriculture, parasites/pathogens and climate change. The loss of biodiversity, destruction of habitat and lack of forage due to monocultures and bee-killing pesticides are particular threats for honeybees and wild pollinators.

What does it mean to be ambitious? In Scene 4, how does the interaction between Macduff and Ross show the topic of ambition?
Answer:
In simple words, Becoming ambitious in today's culture, is a really decent attribute. Individuals with this personality characteristic are established to accomplish objectives linked to higher employment, community or perhaps even hobby. By nature, it implies persevering, and usually aiming for performance, achievement and advancement.
The prevailing belief, though, would be that Duncan's own slaves, being charged, murdered the king through his own kid's guidance. And that the only explanation it's hard to imagine kids are going to murder their own parent to get his seat is because they would have inherited that anyway.
Not to think something, no act too bad, if force is involved: that's creativity. And it also says much about Macbeth's and his wife's not just, clever that they foresaw this result, but also about Ross and Macduff only trusting in anything.

Picture 2 has an image of an eagle landing on the moon. Which statement from the Passage does this image most strongly CONTRADICT? “NASA was aware of the international controversy that might occur...." "Congress amended the agency's appropriations bill to prevent... (NASA) from placing flags of other nations...." The committee was Instructed to select symbolic activities that would not jeopardize crew safety...." *... outer space... is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty...."
Answer:
*... outer space... is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty...."
Explanation:
The eagle symbolizes America, and it sort of asserts a claim on the moon for being the first and only nation to have landed on the moon.
The inability for a nation to appropriate outer space as a sovereign state counteracts this.

I literally don’t know but how about y’all?
Answer:
I think it's more of an opinion based topic so it has to be from you. I think. But a way to do it is to think of someone you'd want to trade lives with (a friend, family member, celebrity, etc.) then think of parts of their life and why you'd want to trade places with them and maybe compare some of the stuff to your life.
Explanation:
Example: (This is completely random.) "If I could trade places with someone, it would be Kim Kardashian. I would trade places with Kim Kardashian because she is super pretty. She is one of my idols and I've never been on an actual Yacht but she has and I really wanna experience that like she has. I don't have that much money but she's rich and I would love to have as much money as her. She has great style and I love scrolling through her Instagram looking at all her pictures and outfits. I don't have any siblings but I wish I did like Kim does. Those are some reasons why I'd want to trade place with Kim Kardashian." That wasn't the best example but I hope you get the jist of it. :)
Which two words are the closest synonyms?
A. Burrowing and humming
B. Captured and took
C. Archipelago and farm
D. Threats and termites
Answer:
B: Captured and took
Explanation:
captured and took
The closest synonyms are 'captured' and 'took'. The option B. Captured and took is correct.
To determine the closest synonyms among the given pairs of words, let's analyze each pair:
A. Burrowing and humming
Burrowing: Digging into the ground, often to create a hole or tunnel.Humming: Making a continuous low sound, like a tune without words.These words are not synonyms as they describe entirely different actions.
B. Captured and took
Captured: To seize or take something, often by force or strategy.Took: To lay hold of something, usually with one’s hands; to grasp, carry, or remove.These words are close synonyms because both involve the act of taking possession of something. "Captured" has a stronger connotation of seizing or taking by force, while "took" is more general, but they share a common core meaning related to acquiring possession.
C. Archipelago and farm
Archipelago: A group or chain of islands.Farm: A tract of land devoted to agricultural production.These words are not synonyms as they refer to different geographical and functional concepts.
D. Threats and termites
Threats: Statements or indications of intent to cause harm or trouble.Termites: Insects known for feeding on wood and causing structural damage.These words are not synonyms as they describe different things, one being a form of communication or potential danger and the other being a type of insect.
Given this analysis, "captured" and "took" are the closest synonyms because they both relate to the act of taking possession, although with slightly different nuances.
What evidence supports the idea that the narrator’s motivation is intrinsic? "Last week I sent a tuner over to my parents’ apartment and had the piano reconditioned, for purely sentimental reasons." "My mother had died a few months before and I had been getting things in order for my father, a little bit at a time." "I put the jewelry in special silk pouches. The sweaters she had knitted in yellow, pink, bright orange—all the colors I hated—I put those in moth-proof boxes." "I found some old Chinese silk dresses, the kind with little slits up the sides."
Final answer:
The evidence of the narrator's intrinsic motivation is found in their personal, thoughtful actions to recondition a piano and preserve their deceased mother's belongings out of sentimental reasons, demonstrating a deep-seated, internal drive.
Explanation:
The evidence supporting the idea that the narrator’s motivation is intrinsic includes their actions and decisions, made from a deeply personal place, especially after the passing of a loved one. The narrator takes it upon themselves to care for the piano by having it reconditioned, reorganizes their mother’s belongings with thoughtful consideration, and engages in remembering and honoring their mother through these acts. These actions, done for “purely sentimental reasons,” without any external push or acknowledgment, demonstrate a deep-seated internal drive, showcasing the intrinsic motivation behind the narrator's actions.
Moreover, the acts of preserving memories and heirlooms suggest a strong connection to their past and a desire to maintain a legacy, which is a profoundly intrinsic drive. This motivation is further emphasized by details such as putting jewelry in special silk pouches and carefully storing hand-knitted sweaters, illustrating the narrator's personal commitment and emotional investment in these tasks. The effort to maintain the essence of their loved one through their belongings and memories underscores the intrinsic nature of their motivation.

Old Major, the prize-winning boar in George Orwell's 'Animal Farm,' is the animal that begins teaching about the rebellion, setting the stage for an allegorical novel that reflects on power, corruption, and societal structure.
Explanation:The animal that begins teaching about the rebellion in George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is B. Old Major. Old Major, a prize-winning boar, shares his dreams of a society where animals are free from the tyranny of humans and teaches the animals about the concept of rebellion against their human farmer.
His ideas serve as the catalyst for the animals to start thinking about the possibility of a better life, leading eventually to the uprising. 'Animal Farm' is an allegorical novella that uses animals to represent historical figures and concepts, mirroring the Russian Revolution. The story reflects on the themes of power, corruption, and social structure. The moral emphasized in various animal stories, as in Aesop's Fables and the tales collected by the Grimm brothers, is that animals, regardless of size, serve a significant purpose and often impart valuable lessons.

Write an essay that makes a prediction about what will happen in the portions of
Frankenstein that you haven't yet read. Your prediction must be reasonable and
supported by evidence from Mary Shelley's novel and from the historical context in
which the story was written.
Help please
As we do not know which point in the novel you are at, it is impossible for us to determine what will happen in the portions of the novel that you have not read. However, we can try to make some general assumptions of what you might be thinking about the text.
In the novel Frankenstein, we quickly learn that Dr. Frankenstein is obsessed with achieving glory through science. He wants to create life, and is arrogant about his ability to do so. As this is a horror book, and as it is set during the Romantic period, we can assume that this obsession with science will become problematic and lead to tragedy.
Moreover, once the monster is created, we can see that it very quickly has an affinity towards humans. He wants to learn from them, and he is even able to learn language. Based on this, we can most likely conclude that the creature will be unhappy, as he will never be accepted by the people that he so admires and loves.

A Bee Mystery
Recent surveys around the world have found some very sad and troubling news. Bees are not doing well. According to Time: Science & Space, "an estimated ten million beehives ... have been lost since 2006." What's worse, scientists are not sure why. Most beekeepers will tell you that bees tend to die in large numbers every spring. This is normal and necessary to keep a hive of bees healthy. But when the deaths add up to more than half the bees in an entire country, that is something altogether different and dire. Scientists have called this "colony-collapse disorder" or CCD. This name describes the effect, though, and not the cause of the die-out. Scientists simply do not know what is killing the bees.
Many things make it hard for bees. Varroa mites move into a colony and weaken it. Further, these mites carry viruses that attack those that survive. In addition, a new bacterium was recently discovered that attacks bees intestinally and kills them. Beekeepers go to great lengths to protect bees from these invaders, and for many years have been able to control them. All these attackers and the methods used to combat them do stress the bees, however.
Many feel the problem is not some new threat, but a decline in the habitat available to bees. Development of grasslands once home to wild flowers and food for bees has been universal. Pavement makes it easy to drive, but it replaces wild grasses and other food sources for bees. Perhaps, long before the mites and parasites moved in, humans took away enough of the bees' habitat to weaken their health. We plowed under a varied habitat and planted—in many cases—a single plant like beets. Then we sprayed all kinds of chemicals on the beets to keep other bugs away and in doing so also harmed bees. Now, to treat all the mites and other invaders, bee keepers use additional chemicals to kill the invaders. These chemicals also shorten the life of the bees. Have the use of chemicals, loss of habitat, and invading parasites made life impossible for bees? Experts continue to argue various theories, but few have any answers.
Colony collapse disorder is perhaps one of the most mysterious problems modern science has tried to solve. Whether the problem is environmental or an unknown disease, we will all feel the effects if bees continue to decline. Bees affect almost every aspect of the human food chain. From the fruits, vegetables, and grains we eat, to the grasses and grains we feed our livestock, we depend on bees to keep us healthy. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, bees account for 15 billion dollars in crops. Honey is a treasure for sure, but the real gold is in the strawberries, apples, peaches, and green beans we eat and need to stay healthy ourselves. All told, the outlook for bees is not good. The outlook for humans may not "bee" so good either.
Which word from the text best summarizes how scientists view colony-collapse disorder?
Bacterium
Invaders
Mysterious
Healthy
Answer:
Mysterious
To this day, scientists have no clue what is making bees die off rapidly.
The last paragraph, first sentence, says that the colony-collapse disorder is one of the most mysterious problems.
Explanation:
Answer:
C. Mysterious
Explanation:
This is a long passage, yet the answer lies in one sentence in the last paragraph.
We want to figure out which word summarises how scientists view this disorder. Look at the first sentence of the last paragraph: "Colony collapse disorder is perhaps one of the most mysterious problems modern science has tried to solve."
The key word here is "mysterious", which is actually one of the answer choices.
Thus, the answer is C.
