What are two things a good beginning sentence should do?
You should use a hook to get the readers attention and also describe what you will be talking about
A good beginning sentence both states the topic of the paragraph and sparks reader interest, by presenting the subject of discussion and capturing attention with a strong opinion or question.
Explanation:A good beginning sentence, or a topic sentence, serves two main roles in a paragraph. First, it states the topic of the paragraph - providing a clear indication of what the paragraph will discuss. This subject may relate to the essay's overall thesis or might simply introduce a subtopic within the broader discussion. For example, a topic sentence in a paragraph about dogs might state 'One of the many reasons dogs make excellent pets is their loyalty'.
Second, an effective beginning sentence should spark interest in the reader, leading smoothly into the body of the paragraph itself. This is often achieved by presenting a strong or controversial opinion, or by raising a question. For example, 'Despite their reputation as man's best friend, dogs can also present significant challenges'. This sentence would then lead into a discussion about those challenges. Thus, a good beginning sentence both sets the subject and grabs the reader's attention.

Motivation: willing to do something to achieve a goal.
Name an example or examples when using motivation
Hello Samantha!
An example of me being motivated was actually last week. I play soccer on a travel team and last week we were behind 5-0 in the second half. Now, if you know soccer it's very difficult to come back in the second half if your behind that far. Once the other team scored the 5th goal, I said in my head were not going to loose this game so I motivated my whole team to try 25% harder. Everyone on my team was giving everything they got because I motivated them to play harder and better. At the end of the game, we came back and tied it 5 all. I hope this is a great example

excerpt from One of Ours
by Willa Cather
1 THE CIRCUS was on Saturday. The next morning Claude was standing at his dresser, shaving. His
beard was already strong, a shade darker than his hair and not so red as his skin. His eyebrows
and long lashes were a pale corn-colour—made his blue eyes seem lighter than they were, and,
he thought, gave a look of shyness and weakness to the upper part of his face. He was exactly
the sort of looking boy he didn’t want to be. He especially hated his head,—so big that he had
trouble in buying his hats, and uncompromisingly square in shape; a perfect block-head. His
name was another source of humiliation. Claude: it was a “chump” name, like Elmer and Roy;
a hayseed name trying to be fine. In country schools there was always a red-headed, wartyhanded,
runny-nosed little boy who was called Claude. His good physique he took for granted;
smooth, muscular arms and legs, and strong shoulders, a farmer boy might be supposed to have.
Unfortunately he had none of his father’s physical repose, and his strength often asserted itself
inharmoniously. The storms that went on in his mind sometimes made him rise, or sit down, or
lift something, more violently than there was any apparent reason for his doing.
2 The household slept late on Sunday morning; even Mahailey did not get up until seven. The
general signal for breakfast was the smell of doughnuts frying. This morning Ralph rolled out of
bed at the last minute and callously put on his clean underwear without taking a bath. This cost
him not one regret, though he took time to polish his new oxblood shoes tenderly with a pocket
handkerchief. He reached the table when all the others were half through breakfast, and made
his peace by genially asking his mother if she didn’t want him to drive her to church in the car.
3 “I’d like to go if I can get the work done in time,” she said, doubtfully glancing at the clock.
4 “Can’t Mahailey tend to things for you this morning?”
5 Mrs. Wheeler hesitated. “Everything but the separator, she can. But she can’t fit all the parts
together. It’s a good deal of work, you know.”
6 “Now, Mother,” said Ralph good-humouredly, as he emptied the syrup pitcher over his cakes,
“you’re prejudiced. Nobody ever thinks of skimming milk now-a-days. Every up-to-date farmer
uses a separator.”
7 Mrs. Wheeler’s pale eyes twinkled. “Mahailey and I will never be quite up-to-date, Ralph. We’re
old-fashioned, and I don’t know but you’d better let us be. I could see the advantage of a
separator if we milked half-a-dozen cows. It’s a very ingenious machine. But it’s a great deal
more work to scald it and fit it together than it was to take care of the milk in the old way.”
8 “It won’t be when you get used to it,” Ralph assured her. He was the chief mechanic of the
Wheeler farm, and when the farm implements and the automobiles did not give him enough
to do, he went to town and bought machines for the house. As soon as Mahailey got used to
a washing-machine or a churn, Ralph, to keep up with the bristling march of invention, brought
home a still newer one. The mechanical dish-washer she had never been able to use, and patent
flat-irons and oil-stoves drove her wild.
9 Claude told his mother to go upstairs and dress; he would scald the separator while Ralph got
the car ready. He was still working at it when his brother came in from the garage to wash his
hands.
10 “You really oughtn’t to load mother up with things like this, Ralph,” he exclaimed fretfully. “Did
you ever try washing this . . . thing yourself?”
11 “Of course I have. If Mrs. Dawson can manage it, I should think mother could.”
12 “Mrs. Dawson is a younger woman. Anyhow, there’s no point in trying to make machinists of
Mahailey and mother.”
13 Ralph lifted his eyebrows to excuse Claude’s bluntness. “See here,” he said persuasively, “don’t
you go encouraging her into thinking she can’t change her ways. Mother’s entitled to all the
labour-saving devices we can get her.”
14 Claude rattled the thirty-odd graduated metal funnels which he was trying to fit together in their
proper sequence. “Well, if this is labour-saving—”
15 The younger boy giggled and ran upstairs for his panama hat. He never quarrelled. Mrs. Wheeler
sometimes said it was wonderful, how much Ralph would take from Claude.
16 After Ralph and his mother had gone off in the car, Mr. Wheeler drove to see his German
neighbour, Gus Yoeder, who had just bought a blooded bull. Dan and Jerry were pitching
horseshoes down behind the barn. Claude told Mahailey he was going to the cellar to put up the
swinging shelf she had been wanting, so that the rats couldn’t get at her vegetables.
17 “Thank you, Mr. Claude. I don’t know what does make the rats so bad. The cats catches one
most every day, too.”
18 “I guess they come up from the barn. I’ve got a nice wide board down at the garage for your
shelf.”

Read the passage from "A Night Ride in a Prairie Schooner."
He could hardly look over the wild oats, which tossed their gleaming bayonets in the wind, and when he dashed out into the blue joint and wild sunflowers, to bring the cattle into the road, he could be traced only by the ripple he made, like a trout in a pool.
Which best identifies and interprets the underlined imagery?
Question options:
A: It contains personification; it shows the reader that the boy is not very tough.
B: It contains a simile; it reveals that the boy is small and insignificant on the vast prairie.
C: It contains a metaphor; it reveals that the boy's mother is not taking care of him.
D: It contains an allusion; it allows the reader to understand prairie life.
Answer:
B: It contains a simile; it reveals that the boy is small and insignificant on the vast prairie.
Explanation:
Simile is a comparison using like or as. The passage describes him as small and insignificant.
"He could hardly look over the wild oats, which tossed their gleaming bayonets in the wind, and when he dashed out into the blue joint and wild sunflowers, to bring the cattle into the road, he could be traced only by the ripple he made, like a trout in a pool."
Answer:
The answer above is correct. Letter b is indeed the best option.
Explanation:
In the excerpt we are analyzing here, we can note the use of simile by the author. Simile is a figure of speech used to make comparisons. It presents words such as "like" or "as". In the excerpt, the boy is compared to a fish in the following manner:
- [...] he could only be traced by the ripple he made, like a trout in a pool.
In the way the imagery is carried out in the passage, the boy becomes insignificant when he dashes into the prairie. Nature is magnificent. The boy is nothing but a thin line, a ripple between the flowers.

HELP AFAS!!!!! 40 POINTS!!!!!! 10. I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. Select a stanza from this poem and explain the tone Wordsworth creates in the stanza. Give your explanation in at least one paragraph of three to five sentences. Use examples from the stanza to support your observations. Use proper spelling and grammar. (10 points)
Answer: In this poem Wadsworth is reflecting on an occasion when he saw, appreciated and is now remembering the beauty of nature. He recalls being near a lake and observing a sea of daffodils that danced in the breeze and were, "as continuous as the stars." His tone is one of reverence for that which man cannot create but happens naturally and perennially. Further, his tone is one of joy and appreciation for that which he saw and now remembers as that memory, "flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills."
Explanation:
In the third stanza "They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills.", the tone of Wordsworth is of gratitude and joy for what he observed and is now recalling as that recollection.
What are the themes of daffodils?The themes of daffodils are "memory and imagination", as well as nature and humankind.
The in third stanza, Wordsworth discovers happiness because the daffodils keep him company and serve as his friend in his state of isolation. "The 'bliss of solitude' means the blessings of loneliness."
William Wordsworth claims that whenever he is lonely and in an unoccupied or contemplative state, that is, even if he's not engaged in whatsoever specific activity, the daffodils he had seen in the valley catch "his inward eye and fill his heart with pleasure".
Thus, this stanza contains a tone happy and gratitude.

Answer:

edit: because a coherent paragraph is one thats sentences flow logically. If not coherent, it means that the sentences are not flowing logically

The supporting sentences do not flow logically.

What type of figurative language is this?
"the others sat like so many leaden idols"
simile
metaphor
pun
idiom
Simile because it uses the word “like”
"The correct answer is simile. The phrase ""the others sat like so many leaden idols"" uses the word ""like"" to make a comparison, which is characteristic of a simile.
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using ""like"" or ""as.""
In this case, the phrase is comparing the others to leaden idols to convey their stillness or inactivity, indicating that they were sitting motionless, as if they were statues made of lead.
In contrast, a metaphor directly states that one thing is another thing, without using ""like"" or ""as.""
A pun is a play on words that exploits multiple meanings of a term or similar-sounding words for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. An idiom is an expression that does not have a literal meaning but is understood in a particular context or culture.
The given phrase does not fit the definitions of a pun or an idiom."

B
It is imaginative but bizarre in its design.
C
It is not cheaply or carelessly done.
D
It is not actually what it appears to be.
Answer:
D. It is not actually what it appears to be.
Explanation:
Counterfeit art is a type of forgery or alteration to the original art form. It is an illusionary attempt to create a replica of the actual art and thus, deceitful. Since it is inauthentic, it is not actually what it appears to be. The counterfeit art is the fake copy of the basic idea in order to gain recognition or sympathy from the audience. For example The "Neo-classical" writers could be considered as the counterfeit artists as they imitated the art form created by the great classical writers like Homer. Yet they did not provide a false art form rather they presented it as a blend of classical and modern elements with a subtle modification.
D. It is not actually what it appears to be.

In “Why I Write,” George Orwell believes there are universal motivations for writing.
Which evidence from the text supports this idea?
"All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery."
"It raises problems of construction and of language, and it raises in a new way the problem of truthfulness."
"I will only say that of late years I have tried to write less picturesquely and more exactly."
"Putting aside the need to earn a living, I think there are four great motives for writing, at any rate for writing prose."
D) "Putting aside the need to earn a living, I think there are four great motives for writing, at any rate for writing prose."
Answer:
"Putting aside the need to earn a living, I think there are four great motives for writing, at any rate for writing prose."
Explanation:
This is most likely the sentence that provides evidence of the fact that Orwell believes there are universal motivations for writing. In this sentence, Orwell tells us that people who write usually have four main motives to do so. This implies that he believes all writers are likely to share these motivations. Therefore, if all writers share these reasons, then they are universal.

write a short poem about volleyball
Answer:
set it up to spike it down
dig it, then repeat
blockers up and coverage close
talk loud and move your feet
give it everything you have
don't just play the game
strive to beat the other teams
make them fear your name
points rack up and tension builds
we all know what's at stake
skill and heart and desire to win
aren't things that you can fake
some are short and some are tall
we come in different sizes
that doesn't change the way that we
wear our floor burns like prizes
any game that we must play
with worthy competition
we face the team across the net
with courage and ambition
if every person does their best
and gives it what they can
work has a knack for paying off
and winning is the plan
so dig it up and load it up
send it back once more
aiming for a certain spot,
a place to hit the floor
shifting, diving, calling out,
don't be afraid to fall
it's this sport that you should try
we call it volleyball
Explanation:
Final answer:
This poem captures the essence of playing volleyball, highlighting the excitement, skill, and camaraderie involved in the sport.
Explanation:
Here's a short poem about volleyball:
Volleyball, a game of height and flight,
Where players leap with all their might.
A bump, a set, a fierce spike hurled,
Over the net, the ball is twirled.
The court echoes with each play's thrill,
As teams move quick with practiced skill.
The cheers, the gasps, a point to score,
In this swift dance of power and lore.
To serve, to block, to dive, to save,
Each action sharp, precise, and brave.
With teamwork woven into the core,
Together, as one, they seek to soar.
And when the final whistle blows,
Victory's sweet, or defeat's woes.
With hearts aflame and spirits high,
In volleyball, passions never die.
