The Cubs, my dad's favorite ball club, finished in last place again.
You add the commas after 'Cubs' and 'club' because the middle information isn't really necessary, but you can add it in. 'my dad'd favorite ball club' is a dependent sentence whereas "The Cubs finished in last place again' is an independent sentence.
Read the introduction from an argumentative essay. Think about the number of chores you do in any given week. According to a recent newspaper article, robots may soon be doing your chores for you. Robots also may be taking over more "human” roles like teaching children and caring for older people. On the plus side, robots could make room for people to spend their time doing more interesting things, but having robots doing all the work has disadvantages, too. To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective, the writer should provide a clear viewpoint. use more informal language. offer an alternative solution. address the counterclaim.
To make the claim in the introduction stronger and more effective the writer should provide a clear viewpoint because this paragraph is confusing for the reader. The reason for this is that the paragraph starts claiming that robots can make our lives easier because they can assume more "human" roles and so leave us more free time in order to do things that we love but then it ends by stating that there are also disadvantages to this evolution. Consequently, it is not clear for the reader if the writer is in favor or against this evolution.
Making the language more informal wouldn't help because it wouldn't guarantee a clearer point of view. Moreover, offering an alternative solution doesn't seem to be the topic of this paragraph. Finally, a reference to the counterclaim as well as addressing it would be more appropriate to do in another paragraph.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
'Sweet' and 'pungent' are A) antonyms. B) homophones. C) similes. D) synonyms.
B) Antonyms, because sweet means “having the pleasant taste characteristic of sugar or honey; not salty, sour, or bitter.” while pungent means “having a sharply strong taste or smell.” So, they are antonyms.
'Sweet' and 'pungent' are A) antonyms.

What does the word heir mean in the story ?
In the story, the word Chi refers to the Greek letter chi and represents the sound [k]. The word heir means someone who inherits or is entitled to receive something, typically in the context of property or a title.
Explanation:In the story, the word Chi refers to the Greek letter chi, which was pronounced as [k] and spelled as X.

Therefore, the word Chi in the story represents the [k] sound.

Which of the following is NOT a type of conflict?
A. The youths struggle of fears
B. The fat soliders fight with a young girl.
C. the army travels through the woods.
The correct answer is option C: the army travels through the woods.
A conflict is a major dispute or verbal fight which usually lasts for a long time. As a result, an organized military force by itself that travels through the woods does not involve a quarrel of any kind.
In sentence A, young people make a forceful effort to get rid of their anxiety, while in sentence B, there is a conflict between the fat soldiers and the young girl.
Conflict generally involves struggle between opposing forces. Both the youth's struggle of fears and the fat soldier's fight with a young girl depict conflict. But the instance of the army traveling through the woods lacks a clear opposing force, hence, does not represent conflict.
Explanation:The question is asking which scenario does not illustrate conflict, a key literary element that drives a story. Conflict generally involves a struggle between opposing forces, typically between a protagonist and an antagonist.
The youth's struggle with fears - This represents internal conflict, a battle within one's self.The fat soldier's fight with a young girl. - This is an example of person-person conflict, a struggle between two characters.The army's travel through the woods - This is not considered a conflict since there's no apparent struggle between opposing forces.Therefore, the answer is C. the army travels through the woods.

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo.
Let us go on now to tell of a large city which forms part of the province of Aden but has a petty ruler of its own. This city, which lies about 400 miles north-west of the port of Aden, is called Shihr. It is ruled by a count, who maintains strict justice in his domain. He has several cities and towns under his sway but is himself subject to the sultan of Aden. The people are Saracens and worship Mahomet. The city has a very good port; for I assure you that many merchant-ships come here well loaded with goods from India, and from here they export many goods to India. In particular they export innumerable fine chargers and sturdy pack-horses of great worth and price, on which the merchants make a handsome profit.
What are most likely the author's purposes for writing this text? Select two options.
to entertain readers by telling them about the ruler of Shihr
to inform readers by describing the city of Shihr
to educate readers by describing the religious practices of Shihr
to inform readers by giving facts about the ruler of Shihr
to persuade readers to study the politics of Shihr
To inform readers by describing the city of shihr
Answer:

Compare the words slow and foe. How are they alike? How are they different?
Slow: Is alike with foe, because they both rhyme, and is different, because it means to be moving at a low speed. Foe: Alike in the sense that it rhymes, and different because it means your enemy or opponent. These two words can also be alike, because they both mean "annoying things".
Answer:
Slow and foe have similar negative or pessimistic connotations, since slow can refer to something or somebody dull and foe to an adversary. As a result, both words can be used to describe things or people that are irritating. Besides, both of them have the same vowel sounds, /ou/.
On the other hand, they are different because slow is an adjective and foe is a noun.

Meir Katz remained on the train. The last day had been the most lethal. We had been a hundred or so in this wagon. Twelve of us left it. Among them, my father and myself.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that ______
A) few survived the horrific train ride.
B) the author and his father were safe.
C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.
D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show (A) a few survived the horrific train ride.
He talks about a lethal ride and that the passengers had been a hundred or so.
Answer: A) few survived the horrific train ride.
The excerpt does not show that his father and him were safe. Difficulties could have been waiting for them right after leaving the train. Moreover, there is no blame attached to Meir Katz for remaining on the train. He was just a victim of horrific circumstances. There was also no purpose in leaving him behind according to this passage. However, the passage does prove that very few people survived the train ride (in this case, 12/100).

And behind came more carts, some with relays, some with firing controls, some with tools and parts, screws and bolts, pins and nuts. The final one contained atomic warheads.

It is not clear whether the narrator is talking about the last piece of jewelry he made or the last message his Dad left.
The bracelet was the most beautiful because it was made after practice with the other pieces.
The bracelet was the most beautiful because it represented his dad’s last words.
We can explain the ambiguity in the text "I made her other Morse code jewelry with dad's messages - a necklace, an anklet, some dangly earrings, a tiara - but the bracelet was definitely the most beautiful, probably because it was the last, which made it the most precious," in the following manner:
- The text is ambiguous because it is not clear what the word "last" is referring to. It could refer to the jewelry as well as the message.
What is ambiguity?Ambiguity happens when a text allows for more than one interpretation of its meaning.Take this sentence as an example: "Lisa saw her sister, but she didn't talk to her." Now, who didn't talk to whom. Was it Lisa who didn't talk to her sister? Or was it her sister who didn't talk to Lisa?Why is the text ambiguous?The sentence we are analyzing here is ambiguous because the word "last" does not have a clear antecedent.It is impossible to know if the speaker is talking about the last piece of jewelry or their father's last message.Learn more about ambiguity here:
