"Calm down, Mrs. Blakely," Holmes replied. "The solution to this mystery is staring you in the face. There is no sign of a break-in, so the thief has access to the house. The thief disappeared in this spot without using the far door, so there must be a hiding spot within the walls or floor. There are scratches on the ground near this portrait. I felt a draft when I reached down to test the floor. It's elementary, Mrs. Blakely. The thief is hidden in the wall behind this portrait."

Holmes pushed the portrait harder into the wall. The wall moved, revealing a hiding place. Sherlock Holmes lit a candle. Its light revealed a sleeping maid with a gigantic purple gem clasped in her hands. The mystery of the disappearing thief was solved.

How does Baba Abdalla respond when the dervish willingly gives up the first ten camels in "The Story of Baba Abdalla"?( i will give you brainliest if you give me one i'm just being fear)

The whale Shark also known as the largest fish in the world, is a very incredible creature! This giant fish has a size of 18 -33 feet and weighs about 41,000 lbs! The alien-like fish is grey with a white belly and dots all over its back. Most Whale Sharks are spotted because they want to be left alone. This animal is like a flat cone with eyes on opposite sides of their heads, and a long tail. That is my best way to describe them. They have over 300 teeth but don’t use them! Instead they use the filter feature and swim with their mouth open to suck up the little fish in its filter. The Whale Shark gives birth to about 300 live young and stay with them for about 2 years. This animal is indeed the biggest fish in the world and one of the most interesting!

How do you know?


The giant tortoise is endangered for too long! They have been hunted to almost extinction since the 1700 and the 1800’s. They were killed for meat and medicine. Predators eat the the eggs before they hatch making it much more difficult to keep them around. Habitat destruction is caused by people, because of us making more islands for ourselves especially on the island Santa Cruz. As a result the Giant Tortoise continues to be endangered.

How do you know?


The Sumatran Rhinos are surviving with only 80-30 left. The issue is that they don't have any way to protect themselves because most of their harm is caused by humans. One way we can protect them is by protecting their habitat by not building roads where they live. Another problem is that humans are settling where they live. We need to be fighting wildlife crime by reporting kills and reporting when they find someone killing the rhino. One thing that only humans can do to help is to NOT KILL THEM FOR THEIR HORNS! One of the biggest reasons there are not many left is because we are killing them for their horns. Sumatran Rhinos can't do anything about them being endangered because it's mostly humans but they are on the road to extinction.

Write a short summary of the text that includes three of the central ideas the author presents in "Should Metal Bats be Banned in Youth Baseball?".

On March 11, 2010, a high school pitcher in California was facing a player using a metal bat, when he was hit in the temple by a line drive travelling 100 mph. His skull was crushed, and he spent weeks in a coma. Fortunately, after surgery and months of rehabilitation, he survived. The accident brought to the forefront an issue that has been a safety concern ever since the 1970s when metal bats began being used instead of wooden bats. Metal bats are dangerous and should be banned by youth sport leagues for several reasons. Baseballs hit with metal bats travel at a higher rate of speed than those hit with wooden bats. Researcher J.J. Crisco studied aluminum bats and found that they produced a “trampoline” effect, which means the baseball springs off of the bat at a high rate of speed. This happens so fast that pitchers and infielders don’t have time to react, which places them in danger. The New York Times reported that baseballs hit with metal bats travel almost 20 mph faster than baseballs hit with wooden bats. This is a huge difference to a player trying to make a play on a line drive in time. Consequently, the high rate of speed makes using a metal bat dangerous. In addition, there have been many instances of players getting hurt by baseballs hit with metal bats. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, between 1991 and 2001, 18 players were killed by batted balls, and only two involved wooden bats. This proves that wood bats are safer than metal. Also, The New Yo r k Times reports that several lawsuits have been won by parents who sued metal bat makers after their child had been hurt. After being presented with evidence about the dangers of aluminum bats, judges and juries agreed they are responsible for injuries. Therefore, the high rate of injuries proves that metal bats are unsafe. Some people claim that wooden bats are too expensive to supply to youth leagues because they are not as long lasting. This is true. Even so, a higher cost should not matter when safety is concerned. Metal bats endanger the lives of young baseball players. First, they make the baseball travel at a high rate of speed, making it difficult to catch. Secondly, they have resulted in many injuries. Banning metal bats is necessary in order to save the lives of young players, and everyone concerned should contact their local lawmakers.
