How does an ecosystem restore equilibrium after a major change
Answer:
By Succession
Explanation:
Ecological succession is the name given to the process that explains the structure of a biological community evolving over time.

Secondary succession is the one that happens in areas where a community that previously existed has been removed by any reason.
Read the excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
So that thus it is, that natural men are held in the hand of God, over the pit of hell; they have deserved the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it; and God is dreadfully provoked, his anger is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of the fierceness of his wrath in hell; and they have done nothing in the least to appease or abate that anger.
In this excerpt, “natural” is used to describe people who
1are not tempted by wealth or power.
2have not been touched by the spirit of God.
3live on farms or in the wilderness outside of cities.
4practice conservation and avoid destroying the beauty of nature.
The correct answer is B.
In this excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", the term "narutal" is used to describe men who have not been touched by the spirit of God.
According to the Bible, a natural man "does not have the Holy Spirit of God in him and lives his life driven by three human motivators: the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride. He considers Spiritually Godly things to be foolishness and rejects God and His Word, which results in his destruction and rejection by God from having eternal life with God."
According to the text, since natural man do not have God with them, they are the same as all sinners and deserve an equal punishment in hell.

The Davis-Moore thesis, though open for debate, was an early attempt to explain why stratification exists and what role it provides.
Davis and Moore believed that social stratification is necessary to promote excellence, productivity, and efficiency, thus giving people something to strive for. They argued that the system serves society as a whole because it allows everyone to benefit to a certain extent. This thesis posits that the unequal distribution of rewards ensures that the most functionally important jobs are filled by the best-qualified people.Thus, the reasons Social Stratification Is Unavoidable According to the Davis-Moore Thesis was that ll positions in society must be filled.Complete Question:

Comparing the two excerpts above, what are some differences you notice in tone and formality? Why might these differences exist?
The difference between the two paragraphs lies in the integration of quotations. The first example lacks smooth integration, while the second example demonstrates seamless integration of quotations.
Explanation:In the first paragraph example, the quotations are not smoothly integrated with the author's words and do not follow the grammatical structure of the sentences. They are simply plopped into the paragraph without any connection. However, in the second paragraph example, the quotations are smoothly integrated and maintain the grammatical structure of each sentence. The writer carefully selected important phrases from the poem that support their point and ensured they flowed smoothly into the sentences.

Find an example of verbal irony in hamlet's conversation with claudius and gertrude
An example of verbal irony in Hamlet's dialogue with Claudius and Gertrude is when he refers to them as 'mother' and 'aunt' mockingly. This ironical address highlights his disapproval and the twisted family dynamics without direct conflict, while subtly indicating his awareness of the truth behind his father's death.
An example of verbal irony in Hamlet's conversation with Claudius and Gertrude can be seen in Act 3, Scene 2, where Hamlet refers to King Claudius as his 'mother' and Gertrude as his 'aunt' as if unaware of the true relationship, knowing full well the reality of the situation. Hamlet is doing this to mock the new relationships formed after his father's death and his uncle's subsequent marriage to his mother.
Hamlet uses verbal irony quite often to express his disapproval and grief regarding the situation without directly accusing his uncle and mother of their wrongdoings. It serves as a dual purpose; on one hand, it protects Hamlet from outright confrontation, and on the other, it allows him to hint at his knowledge of the truth about his father’s murder.

Read the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night." Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. The excerpt's rhyme scheme is :
aaa bbb.
aba bab.
aba aba.
aab bba.
Answer:
The answer is indeed letter C) aba aba
Explanation:
To determine the rhyme scheme in a poem, we must look at the last word of each line. The last word of the first line is becomes the rhyme "a". When other last words sound similar to it, they are also "a". When they sound different, we give them other letters following the alphabet - b, c, d etc. - every time a new rhyme appears.
Let's analyze the excerpt given:
Do not go gentle into that good night, --> first last word, a
Old age should burn and rave at close of day; --> sounds different than night, b
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. --> rhymes with night, a
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, ---> a
Because their words had forked no lightning they --> rhymes with "they", b
Do not go gentle into that good night. --> a
Thus, the rhyme scheme in this excerpt is aba aba.

The reader can easily understand how he feels towards people's anger with him. He feels that moment in the game can be his revenge, and he is willing to make the difference.
“I Am a Native of North America” by Chief Dan George
Man must love fully or he will become the lowest of the animals. It is the power to love that makes him the greatest of them all . . . for he alone of all animals is capable of love.
Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love our self-esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world. Instead we turn inwardly and begin to feed upon our own personalities and little by little we destroy ourselves.
You and I need the strength and joy that comes from knowing that we are loved. With it we are creative. With it we march tirelessly. With it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.

Thanks alot guys;)
1. Love is unique to human beings.
In the first paragraph, the author states that love is what "makes him [humans] the greatest of them all...for he alone of all animals is capable of love." This proves the answer correct.
2. weak
A word with a negative connotation is a word that is meant in a negative way. Love and spirit are almost always used positively. Sacrifice can be either negative or positive, but in this passage sacrifice is an honorable, positive thing. Weak is the only word used in a negative way.
3. The writer explores personal thoughts and opinions but does not present facts.
Throughout the passage there are only thoughts and opinions. We see this with his use of the pronouns we and our. These pronouns include the author in his subject. There are no statements of fact.
4. He freely shares his strong opinions.
In the dialogue, Bob's opinion was not asked for initially. The dialogue starts with Bob saying , "Look at that terrible painting!". He freely shares his strong opinion before even realizing that it was created by his friend.
5. There is a contrast between the truth and a mistaken view.
Bob says that Amanda's painting would definitely win over the one he deems as terrible. However, he doesn't realize until the end that the one he thinks is terrible is Amanda's painting.
6. a phrase consisting of a present or past participle and its modifiers that acts as an adjective
For example: The boy doing his homework did not hear his mom call him for dinner. The participle phrase is "doing his homework". It begins with a present participle, doing, and includes modifiers that describe which boy did not hear his mom call.
7. The Grand Canal in China, the oldest man-made waterway in the world, is still used today.
An appositive phrase should not use the word "which" to begin the phrase. An appositive phrase is an adjective phrase that must be offset with commas and can be removed from the sentence without impacting the meaning of the sentence.
8. to relate a noun or pronoun to another word
A preposition tells where one noun or pronoun is in relation to another word. For example, the dog was in the house. In is a preposition that tells you where the dog is in relation to the house.
9. A monologue is a long speech spoken by one character.
Monologue can be separated into root words. Mono means one and log has to do with words or speech. Put them together and you get a speech by one.
10. JOHN. [pleading] You've got to help me.
In this line the stage direction, pleading, tells the actor who is playing John how to say his lines. Options A and C only explain what the actor should do physically and B has no stage directions.
11. I, II, III, and IV, the tone of voice, an action, the scenery, and sound effect.
Stage directions include every piece of information that is not spoken aloud. Plays that have few stage directions open themselves up to a lot of interpretation by the director because the playwright has not been specific about how the actors should perform the lines or how the set should be created.
12. a conversation between characters in a play
The dialogue of a play is everything that is said aloud. Therefore if it were limited to just a conflict, the downfall, or a long speech much of the play would be missing!
Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.
For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.
But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."
Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."
The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.
What type of conflict is implied in the passage above?
Person vs. Person
Person vs. Self
Person vs. Nature
Person vs. Society
Answer:
Person vs. Society.
Explanation:
The story of Jim and his wife Della in O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" shows how two people selflessly go out of their ability to make the other happy. Their efforts turned out to be useless in the present sense but then they were considered the best people to have ever did something for another.
Jim and Della are a poor couple who hardly have anything. And the festival of Christmas is approaching, meaning they had to prepare gifts for each other. Armed with just few sums of money for themselves, they set out to get each a gift that will prove the most useful. Della sold her hair to get Jim a watch chain, while Jim sold his watch to buy an ornamental comb for Della's beautiful hair. When both revealed their gifts, it turns out that there was no use for the present situation. But this selfless approach of the gifts showed how they brought out the true Christian spirit of putting others first. They are the wisest of all who had ever done this deed.
This story is a person vs. society conflict as it was the society that had imbibed on them the ritual of gifting presents. If this tradition hadn't been there, Jim would still have his watch and Della, her hair.
Which parts of this passage from chapter 6 of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights illustrate that Hindley’s wife did not belong to the upper class?
Mr. Hindley came home to the funeral; and—a thing that amazed us, and set the neighbours gossiping right and left—he brought a wife with him. (What she was, and where she was born, he never informed us: probably, she had neither money nor name to recommend her, or he would scarcely have kept the union from his father).
She was not one that would have disturbed the house much on her own account. Every object she saw, the moment she crossed the threshold, appeared to delight her; and every circumstance that took place about her: except the preparing for the burial, and the presence of the mourners.( I thought she was half silly, from her behaviour while that went on: she ran into her chamber, and made me come with her, though I should have been dressing the children: and there she sat shivering and clasping her hands, and asking repeatedly—"Are they gone yet?" )Then she began describing with hysterical emotion the effect it produced on her to see black; and started, and trembled, and, at last, fell a-weeping—and when I asked what was the matter, answered, she didn’t know; but she felt so afraid of dying! (I imagined her as little likely to die as myself. She was rather thin, but young, and fresh-complexioned, and her eyes sparkled as bright as diamonds.) I did remark, to be sure, that mounting the stairs made her breathe very quick; that the least sudden noise set her all in a quiver, and that she coughed troublesomely sometimes: but I knew nothing of what these symptoms portended, and had no impulse to sympathise with her.( We don’t in general take to foreigners here, Mr. Lockwood, unless they take to us first.)
The ones in parenthesis are the ones that can be chosen. Only one can be selected.
If on Plato, the answer is "What she was, and where she was born, he never informed us: probably, she had neither money nor name to recommend her, or he would scarcely have kept the union from his father."

Caloran slowed his horse as he came to the clearing in the forest. It was too quiet, and this was just the sort of place Budvar would pick to lay an ambush. From what point of view is this story told?
A. Alternating point of view
B. First-person point of view
C. Third-person point of view
D. Second-person point of view
Answer: C. Third-person point of view.
Explanation: When writing, the author can use different types of narrator, depending on the effect they want to cause in the audience. To identify what type of narrator or point of view is used in a text, we need to pay attention to the pronouns used. If the speaker uses the pronouns "I" and "we" it is a first person point of view, if he uses "you" is a second person point of view, and if he uses the pronouns "he," "she," "it" or "they" it is a third person point of view, which is the case of the given excerpt ("Caloran slowed his horse as he came to the clearing in the forest").

After carefully reading through the excerpt from "Hidden Figures," answer the question. By the 1930s, NACA needed even more computers. They turned to a new population: women. NACA hired its first five female computers—all white—in 1935. By 1946, the number of female, NACA-trained computers had passed 400. In that interval, two important events occurred. First, President Roosevelt was faced with protests over racial segregation and signed Executive Order 8802. It prohibited racial discrimination in hiring practices in the national defense industry. Second, the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 brought the US into World War II. The federal defense industry quickly became one of the best options for African Americans with college degrees. What organizational structure is used here? A. Comparison/contrast B. Cause/effect C. Problem/solution D. Description
The organizational structure in the excerpt from "Hidden Figures" is Cause/effect, where events contribute to significant outcomes such as the enactment of Executive Order 8802 in response to protests and the inclusion of African Americans in the defense industry during WWII.
Explanation:The organizational structure used in the excerpt from "Hidden Figures" is Cause/effect. This structure is evidenced by the text presenting events and social pressures that led to significant outcomes and changes. For example, the protests over racial segregation led President Roosevelt to sign Executive Order 8802, prohibiting racial discrimination in national defense industry hiring practices. Additionally, the text describes the effect of the attack on Pearl Harbor on the involvement of the United States in World War II and, subsequently, how that led to African Americans with college degrees seeking employment in the federal defense industry, due to the opportunities it presented amid racial employment barriers elsewhere.
