Answer:
It is an opinion because it cannot be proven using objective evidence.
Explanation:
Claiming things for other people is always an opinion, because one can never know how other people feel about something.
Especially if one claims, such as the case here, that the crime is still fresh in the minds of every newspaper reader in Iowa. There are lot of newspaper readers in Iowa and amongst them there will surely be some who forgot about that, don't care, didn't read etc.
Their feelings toward this crime are quite subjective, so there is no objective way to prove it. That means that this claim can't be a fact, but rather an opinion of the author.
Answer: d
Explanation:It is an opinion because it cannot be proven using objective evidence.
Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."
If anything gets in the way of our good eating, it's lifestyle. When you get home from work late, why spend an hour in front of the stove when you can spend two minutes at the microwave? And doesn't that oatmeal box claim to be a good source of calcium for our kids, never mind the small print listing 14 grams of sugar?
Which statement best describes the author's argument in this part of the article?
Answer:
A busy lifestyle often gets in the way of healthy eating habits.
Explanation:
The writer in the given excerpt is arguing about the fact that often healthy eating habits are interrupted because of a busy lifestyle.
As the lifestyle has become busier spending time on eating healthy food has become an uphill battle. As stated in the excerpt, it is true that when a person comes tired from work he/she, instead of spending time on cooking, prefers to order food from outside or microwave packed food, which is unhealthy.
The irony of such an instance is that people earn money for food only but hardly spend time investing in healthy eating habits.
So, the author's argument in the above excerpt is that a busy lifestyle has interrupted healthy eating habits.

What do all of these things have in common
a shoe, a suitcase, a bit of ink,
a painting, a child’s eyes at a chalkboard,
a bit of chalk, a bit of
bone in ash.
Answer:
The thing the have in common is about a child and a picture.
Explanation:
From the things listed, there is a possibility that it is talking about a child's admiration of a wonderfully drawn painting on the chalkboard. The picture shows an image of someone wearing a shoe and with a suitcase.
The admiration of the child stems from the fact that, he could have been the one who drew it and was only trying to be sure that it was worth it after all the stress he passed through to draw the picture using a bit of ink and some chalks.
The items listed, including everyday objects and art supplies, share the quality of leaving a physical trace or having practical, artistic, or historical significance. Chalk, charcoal, and chiaroscuro represent artistic tools and techniques with educational or dramatic applications in art. Students drawing and describing these items delve into their tangible qualities and broader narratives.
The commonality amongst the items such as a shoe, suitcase, ink, painting, child's eyes at a chalkboard, chalk, bone in ash, and the provided lists that include various items like drywall, pennies, chalk, and others, is that they all have a physical presence and carry historical, artistic, or practical significance in different contexts. They can leave physical traces such as footprints, written words, or artistic expressions, connecting to the themes of impact and legacy mentioned in the poetic excerpts. Moreover, chalk and charcoal are both tools used for art, while chalk also has educational connotations, and chiaroscuro is a method by which artists use sharp contrasts of light and dark.
By drawing a series of images that fit each list and then translating the drawings into writing, students exercise their creative and analytical skills. They interpret seemingly disparate objects and explore their differences, such as varying textures, purposes, and the sensory experiences they evoke — a shoe for walking, chalk for writing, and ink for printing or drawing. These activities lead to an appreciation for the tactile qualities they find in everyday objects and the stories or concrete details these objects can convey through art and description.
What is iris Chang's purpose for writing building the transcontinental railroad?cite evidence from the text that helps you infer her purpose
Answer:
Chang purpose is to show that the Chinese brought distinctive cultural traits to America—such as reverence for education, hard work, thriftiness, entrepreneurship, and family loyalty—which actually helped many of them to achieve rapid success in their adopted country, America.
Explanation:
Chang's book shows the continuity of the Chinese migrants journey in the United State of the past century. The hardwork exihibted by the Chinese during the building of the continental railroad could be seen in them working from sunrise to sunset (6 days a week ) and at same time assuming the most dangerous work when the construction was going on.
While the White labourer complained of the job being harder, it was only the chinese that were willing to take up the hard part of the construction. Some of the jobs they did include pouring nitroglycerin into holes drilled in granite and exploding of dynamite while suspended by ropes on the sides of steep mountain cliffs.
Eventhough, so many people died while the project was ongoing, it still did not limit them from contributing towards the success of that railroad construction.

C) Those who do not like to get wet should always carry an umbrella. D) Carl is simply obsessed with rugby; he eats, breathes, and lives the game. I'm really confused about sentence structure right now. Could someone please explain this to me? ~ Thanks! ~
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Complex sentences have one or more dependent (sometimes called subordinate) clauses. A dependent clause is a part of a sentence that would not make sense or would be incomplete by itself. B is an example of a complex sentence, because it has both an independent (I read an old magazine) and a dependent clause (As I waited for my appointment). C is not a complex sentence because it is made up of one independent clause. Hope this helps a little! :)

Read the excerpt from Utopia. In their great council at Amaurot, to which there are three sent from every town once a year, they examine what towns abound in provisions and what are under any scarcity, that so the one may be furnished from the other; and this is done freely, without any sort of exchange; for, according to their plenty or scarcity, they supply or are supplied from one another, so that indeed the whole island is, as it were, one family. The central idea of this excerpt is that Utopians make a regular effort to care for those in need. Which detail best supports this central idea?
The Utopians' practice of providing for towns in need and freely distributing surplus goods, without exchange, for the benefit of the entire community and the poor in other countries supports the central idea of their social solidarity and care for those in need.
The detail from the excerpt that best supports the central idea that Utopians make a regular effort to care for those in need is the fact that they provide aid and resources to towns experiencing scarcity, without any expectation of exchange. This is indicative of a collective approach to governance and social welfare where care for the community takes precedence over individual gain. Utopians practice a system of resource distribution based on need, signifying a societal structure built on mutual aid and support. Furthermore, any surplus is used not only for trade but to also support the poor in other nations, cementing the Utopian commitment to universal well-being.

Which of the following sentences uses commas correctly?
A. Doris and Enid went to their weekly writer's group, and both gave stunning readings to the class.
B. Doris and Enid went to their weekly writer's group, and both, gave stunning readings, to the class.
C. Doris and Enid went to their weekly writer's group, and both, gave stunning readings to the class.
D. Doris and Enid went to their weekly writer's group and both gave stunning readings to the class.
Final answer:
The correct sentence is A, which uses a comma appropriately to connect two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. The sentence's structure implies clear communication without unnecessary punctuation interruptions.
Explanation:
Out of the options provided, the sentence that uses commas correctly is:
A. Doris and Enid went to their weekly writer's group, and both gave stunning readings to the class.
This sentence correctly uses a comma to join two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction (and). In this sentence, 'Doris and Enid went to their weekly writer's group' is one independent clause, and 'both gave stunning readings to the class' is the other. The other sentences either add unnecessary commas that break the flow of the sentence or omit necessary punctuation, such as in sentence D, which could use a comma before the conjunction and because it connects two independent clauses.

In President Obama’s remarks to assembled leaders from the Pacific Island Conference of Leaders and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature World Conservation Congress, what is his purpose in delivering this message? How does he use rhetoric to support and advance his purpose? Use evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be at least two complete paragraphs.
Story:
September 1, 2016
Honolulu, Hawaii
And in my address there I talked about climate change and conservation, and how those two things are inextricably linked. Few people understand, I think, the stakes better than our Pacific Island leaders, because they’re seeing already the impact. Rising temperatures and sea levels pose an existential threat to your countries. And while some members of the U.S. Congress still seem to be debating whether climate change is real or not, many of you are already planning for new places for your people to live. Crops are withering in the Marshall Islands. Kiribati bought land in another country because theirs may someday be submerged. High seas forced villagers from their homes in Fiji.
And no nation, not even one as powerful as the United States, is immune from a changing climate. I saw it myself last year in our northernmost state of Alaska, where the sea is already swallowing villages and eating away at shorelines; where the permafrost thaws and the tundra is burning; where glaciers are melting at a pace unprecedented in modern times. And it was a preview of our future if the climate keeps changing faster than our efforts to address it.
And that’s why I’ve devoted so much of my time and my energy to making sure that we get this right while we still have time. I spoke about this at length in a speech earlier today, but over the past seven and a half years, America has worked to generate more clean energy, use less dirty energy, and waste less energy overall. And it’s made a difference. Our investments have tripled wind power, multiplied solar power thirtyfold, and, in many places, helped clean energy become cheaper than dirty energy. And we did all of this while fueling the longest uninterrupted streak of job growth on record.
So there’s no conflict between a healthy economy and a healthy planet. And that’s why I’ve committed, along with Canada and Mexico, to get 50 percent of U.S. electricity from clean sources by 2025. And with many of our biggest businesses switching to clean energy, I’m absolutely confident that we can meet that goal.
But that’s not all. I’ve also made sure we’re better prepared for the impacts of climate change, because even as we need to hit the brakes so that we don’t go over the cliff, we’re not going to come to an immediate stop. We know that there is still going to be an inevitable impact as a consequence of rising temperatures. And that means conservation has been a cornerstone of my presidency.
Answer:
The purpose in his message is to inextricably link conservation and the effects of climate change. No country or peoples can avoid the hardships of climate change. No country is immune no matter how powerful.

O! vengeance!
Why, what an a** am I! This is most brave

D.) It reveals Hamlet’s hesitation to act.
Explanation:
Figurative language is a literary technique that allows the writer to use a form of communication that uses figures of speech to convey a message in a non-literal way, which needs interpretation and reasoning to be understood. This technique increases the expressiveness of literary texts, making it broader in meaning.
The text above used figurative language to express Hamlet's feeling of anguish about his own actions and decisions. For this reason, we can say that figurative language promoted the understanding of Hamlet's anger at himself and his hesitation to act.
Answer:
A. It reveals Hamlet’s anger with himself.
D.It reveals Hamlet’s anger with himself.

How does George S. Kaufman use understatement in his play? Cite textual evidence to support your answer.
Answer:
George S. Kaufman uses understatement in the play by having the characters downplay the seriousness of the situation. One of the first uses of understatement in the play is when the bellboy says in a very calm manner, “The hotel is on fire, sir.” Bob’s reaction to this statement is “Well—is it bad?” In reality, a bellboy would not tell hotel guests about a fire so calmly, and the guests would not waste time by asking how bad the fire is. As the fire spreads, Bob remarks, “Yes, that is pretty bad.” The bellboy later says to Ed, “The lower part of the hotel is about gone, sir.” These understatements show how unconcerned the characters are about the fire, parodying British manners with the ridiculousness of the situation.

Read the poem below and answer the question that follows. Miniscule droplets beaded up on the window. Remnants of the storm. This poem uses __________ to express ideas about nature.
Answer:
The Answer is Imagery.
Imagery in the poem is used here to express ideas about nature.
Explanation:
Imagery is one of several literary devices available to writers and poets.
When an author sits to write a story, he or she doesn't simply write what happened. Instead, He or she uses what are called literary devices which are narrative techniques that add texture, energy, and excitement to the narrative, grip the reader's imagination, and convey information.
There are hundreds of literary devices at the disposal of a writer. Some of them besides Imagery are:
SimileMetaphorSymbolismFlashbacksForeshadowingMotifAllegoryIn the poem above, the phrase "beaded up on the window" gives a vivid image of the after effects of the storm. It also tell us from what perspective the writer observed the storm.
Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in narrative are equated with meanings that lie outside the narrative. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious or political significance. (an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and symbolic meaning.)True / False.
Read the passage.
(1) The umbrella dates back more than 3,000 years to Mesopotamia. (2) That ancient land was located in the Middle East. (3) The Middle East is a hot and sunny part of the world. (4) Royalty there demanded protection from the sun. (5) People developed the umbrella for this purpose. (6) Use of the umbrella as a sunshade then spread to ancient Europe. (7) In fact, if you analyze the origin of the word umbrella,you will see that it reflects the umbrella’s original purpose. (8) Umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra. (9) Umbra means “shade.” (10) Eventually, the Romans used the umbrella to protect themselves from the rain. (11) They used the umbrella to protect themselves from the sun as well. (12) Today, umbrellas are used mainly as raingear.
Which is the most effective way to combine sentences 4 and 5?
A. Royalty there, demanding protection from the sun, so people developed the umbrella for this purpose.
B. Royalty there demanded protection from the sun, and people developed the umbrella for this purpose.
C. People developed the umbrella for the purpose of protection from the sun, which royalty demanded.
D. People developed the umbrella for this purpose, royalty having had demanded protection from the sun.
Answer:
B. Royalty there demanded protection from the sun, and people developed the umbrella for this purpose
Explanation:
The most important thing to know here is the proper way to combine two independent or independent and dependent clause.
Now, answer A. uses "demanding" instead of "demanded". This makes the sentence hard to understand and slightly illogical.
Answer B. combines two independent clauses with a comma and conjunction "and" which is a proper way.
Answer C. has a dependent clause "which royalty demanded". When dependant clause comes after independent, it shouldn't be separated by a comma.
Answer D. is written in a complicated manner and doesn't make much sense.
So, in this particular case, answer B. seems to fit the best.
In Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, how does the budding love between Jane and Rochester come about?
Answer:
Jane and Mr. Rochester's relationship is based on intelligent equality at first. Mr. Rochester is intrigued with Jane's honesty to his questions which prompts him to inquire more into the way she thinks rather than merely judging her physical features or social status. Generally, for that time period, rich men did not marry their employees; so, for that fact alone, their relationship would not have been taken seriously at the time. Because of that fact, however, the implausible becomes a romantic notion to be explored by the author and discovered by the reader. The phrase "opposites attract" seems to fall into place as both Jane and Mr. Rochester discover intriguing details about one another's life. The details seem to be unequal, though, because Mr. Rochester has more experience and more secrets about his life than Jane has. This makes it easy for Mr. Rochester to manipulate a young girl by trying to make her jealous and keeping a deep, dark secret from her. No true relationship can stand on lies or manipulation.
Explanation:
Final answer:
The love between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester develops through a mix of intense dialogue, mutual respect, and shared experiences that lead to a deep and authentic bond.
Explanation:
Love Between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester
The love story between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester unfolds slowly and is marked by deepening affection and respect. Initially, Jane finds herself intrigued by Rochester's enigmatic and often brusque personality. Through a series of conversations and shared experiences, she discovers a kindred spirit beneath his gruff exterior. As a governess at Thornfield Hall, Jane is intellectually and morally Rochester's equal, which fascinates him. Their bond deepens after Jane saves Rochester from a mysterious fire and tends to his wounds, which was an act of courage and care. Over time, they recognize a profound connection, not based on superficial attractions but on a mutual understanding and emotional kinship.
In Jane Eyre, their budding love is an emotional journey that includes intense dialogue, moral challenges, and personal growth for both characters. The authentic bond between Jane and Rochester is rooted in mutual respect and a shared sense of morality and justice. Their relationship defies the typical Victorian stereotypes of passive femininity and domineering masculinity, as it evolves through genuine interaction, personal revelation, and a blending of their respective strengths.
how do Thomas and zillpows articles differ in their opinion of the value of ear buds? PLZ HELP WOULD TRY AND GIVE BRAINLIEST (if i could)
Answer:The answer it literally D. Im only in middle school and i'm helping you
LOL
Explanation:
Final answer:
Thomas and Zillpows' opinions on the value of earbuds are not directly provided, but a close reading of their articles on related subjects could infer differences in perspective on the impact of social influence on personal choices.
Explanation:
The student's question pertains to the comparison of opinions regarding the value of earbuds from two articles by authors Thomas and Zillpows. The foregoing excerpts do not explicitly state each author's opinion on earbuds but provide context on how social influence may affect personal decisions, such as whether to purchase an iPod or a Zune. It appears that the question is indirectly related to the impact of earbuds or music players on student behavior or decision-making rather than a direct commentary on earbuds themselves. Nevertheless, if Thomas and Zillpows had articles on the impact of earbuds, a careful review of both would be required to draw out their respective opinions.

That’s when he began singing the songs he’d been writing for years underground, songs no one had ever heard, or anything like them—"Eyes in My Head," "X’s and O’s," "Who’s Watching Hardest"—ballads of paranoia and disconnection ripped from the chest of a man you knew just by looking had never had a page or a profile or a handle or a handset, who was part of no one’s data, a guy who had lived in the cracks all these years, forgotten and full of rage, in a way that now registered as pure. Untouched. How does the author use satire in this excerpt?
Answer:
The author is mocking man's inability to freely express himself.
Explanation:
Jennifer Egan's "A Visit From The Goon Squad" tells the story of numerous people all related to a record company executive Bennie Salazar. This work of fiction is considered a collection of short stories and even a novel, though it is hard to say which one it really is due to its complicated structure of narration.
The given excerpt is from the 13th Chapter of the story titled "Pure Language". In this section, the omniscient narrator describes the scene when Scotty was able to finally sing aloud the songs he had written "for years underground, songs no one had ever heard, or anything like them". But it was not a real scene, Bennie had 'hired' people to act as fans for Scotty. Through the use of the satire in this description of the passage, the author mocks man's inability to express himself freely. The songs that had been written so many years back represent the pent up feelings, the inner thoughts of the writer who finds no outlet except in writing his songs.

How is suspense created in Ch. 7 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? (Supported by quote if possible)
Answer: In Chapter 7, suspense is created through Huck's attempt to run away, and his father's sudden reappearance.
Explanation:
In literature, suspense is a feeling of uncertainty and tension that the readers experience while waiting for a particular event to be over.
In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain creates suspense through Pap's sudden reappearance while Huck is preparing to run away. Pap is Huck's abusive father, who is also an alcoholic. Huck has arranged everything to run away - he feigned his own death by cutting the pig and leaving the blood on the floor, and prepared a canoe. However, Huck falls asleep, and when he wakes up, he sees Pap coming towards him. This is a very suspenseful moment, as the readers are waiting to see whether Huck will succeed with his plan, or get caught. Huck, however, manages to run away and heads towards the Jackson's Island.
Final answer:
In Chapter 7 of 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', suspense is built through vivid details and imagery, dialogue that captures the transition from confidence to anxiety, and a central conflict that grows more complex, leaving the reader uncertain of the outcome.
Explanation:
In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, suspense is created through various literary devices. One way Twain builds suspense is by employing vivid details and imagery, particularly in the river and shore scenes which serve as expressions of American ideals. Twain's use of these details puts the reader on the edge, as they anticipate the outcomes of the progressively tense scenarios the protagonists encounter.
Another technique Twain uses to augment suspense is through dialogue. The conversations between characters heighten tension, as seen when the captain interrogates Huck, which shifts the latter's confidence to anxiety. The dialogue not only propels the narrative but also adds to the realism, drawing readers into the authenticity of the scene.
Furthermore, suspense arises from the conflict of Huck's narrative. Initially, Huck feels confident navigating the river, but as more characters are introduced and challenges appear, his self-doubt and the peril around him increase. These elements combine to create a heightened sense of suspense, as readers wonder whether Huck will succeed or succumb to the pressures he faces.

Read the excerpt from Princess Ida by Gilbert and Sullivan.

Yet Man subdues him. Why? The elephant

Conquers the foolish giant of the woods,
As Woman, in her turn, shall conquer Man.
