I think this question is a good challenge so yeah whoever is looking for one here I am =v=
All over the world, animal habitats bump up against human development. Where these two worlds collide, animals almost never fare well. Highways, where humans speed by large tracts of natural habitat like missiles of doom, are especially dangerous for wild creatures. They can also be deadly, not just for individual animals but for entire species. The Florida panther, for example, has such a low population that each time one is killed on a highway, it is a catastrophic loss.
There is hope, however, that is a new way of helping animals cross through highway areas unharmed. Wildlife overpasses give animals a way to cross highways without risking their lives. These look and work like bridges but are usually covered with grass and trees that make animals like deer feel welcome. The cars drive through a tunnel under the bridges. Fences along the top edges keep the animals safe.
These overpasses also connect habitats, so along with deer, the coyotes who hunt them can cross. This allows both species to have a larger range, which also helps their long-term survival. To the animals in these habitats, the overpasses may be like an extra safety net that helps them survive a drought. The bridges are especially important for animals that migrate. For centuries, animals like elk and buffalo migrated on trails that still, now, lead right up to the edges of major highways. With the help of these bridges, migrating animals can still follow their long-used paths unharmed.
In some cases, these overpasses benefit humans directly as well. In these cases, the overpasses are part of a green space or park that people use for cycling, backpacking, or jogging. The overpasses give humans access to areas they may not have been able to see but also provide safety for animals.
The next time you are traveling on a highway, keep a lookout for a wildlife passage. With attention to how our lives affect the natural world, we can find clever solutions, like wildlife passages, that help animals and improve our lives, too.
Extra! Extra!
Not all wildlife accommodations for highways are overpasses. In some cases, certain species are so important that underpasses or underground tunnels are built. In Florida, two such underpasses help turtles, snakes, and alligators that often migrate from one body of water to another. Since these creatures do not have much speed, crossing a highway for them is even more deadly than it is for swift animals like deer. Working as a large funnel, these underpasses usually require a barricade or fence alongside the highway that forces animals toward a tunnel. Aquatic turtles especially benefit from these tunnels as they lay eggs in holes dug in dry ground, away from the lake they live in.

The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents," long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on.
The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is often determined by the harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil.
One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so eight major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controls oil rights to a particular share of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortages, equipment breakdowns, labor disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is operating.

According to the last paragraph, ______________________ determines what percentage of the construction costs each member of the consortium would pay.

I was currently climbing up an icy blue glacier shivering from the cold. I told myself "if I stop here, ill never make up for what happened to my great-great-uncle Pete. I kept climbing but came to a stop. The glacier started moving. I climbed faster and faster but the ice kept starting to break off. I jumped off the piece of ice hoping I would hang on to the other one. *splash* the iceberg splashed in the water and began to sink.My whole life was hanging on my ice pick. I very carefully lifted up my body weight and made it. I still had a while to go. While I continued climbing I kept getting weird vibes. I ignored it thinking it came from my fear of falling not too long ago. I thought about what happened to my great-great-uncle Pete. About 5 years ago he climbed up this very glacier. But a piece of the ice fell off, causing him to fall in the icy waters and freeze. I planned to make it to the top and bottom by nightfall, and I already burned half of the day's sunlight. I kept climbing, not realizing how fast I was going. My ice pick went through the air and I froze. I have made it to the top! I can't believe it! I took a while to enjoy the breeze and started heading back down. I had to be more careful this time because a piece of ice already fell, and don't have a second chance if another piece falls off. Before sunset, I made it back to the bottom safely into my boat. I started heading back home to my family to tell them the accomplishment. I think I made my great-great-uncle peat proud. the end.

For over three centuries a steady stream of men, women and children followed the beacon of liberty which this light symbolizes. They brought to us strength and moral fibre developed in a civilization centuries old but fired anew by the dream of a better life in America. They brought to one new country the cultures of a hundred old ones.
It has not been sufficiently emphasized in the teaching of our history that the overwhelming majority of those who came from the Nations of the Old World to our American shores were not the laggards, not the timorous, not the failures.
They were men and women who had the supreme courage to strike out for themselves, to abandon language and relatives, to start at the bottom without influence, without money and without knowledge of life in a very young civilization. We can say for all America what the Californians say of the Forty-Niners: "The cowards never started and the weak died by the way."
Perhaps Providence did prepare this American continent to be a place of the second chance. Certainly, millions of men and women have made it that. They adopted this homeland because in this land they found a home in which the things they most desired could be theirs—freedom of opportunity, freedom of thought, freedom to worship God. Here they found life because here there was freedom to live.
It is the memory of all these eager seeking millions that makes this one of America's places of great romance. Looking down this great harbor I like to think of the countless numbers of inbound vessels that have made this port. I like to think of the men and women who, with the break of dawn off Sandy Hook, have strained their eyes to the west for a first glimpse of the New World.
They came to us—most of them—in steerage. But they, in their humble quarters, saw things in these strange horizons which were denied to the eyes of those few who traveled in greater luxury.
They came to us speaking many tongues—but a single language, the universal language of human aspiration.
How well their hopes were justified is proved by the record of what they achieved. They not only found freedom in the New World, but by their effort and devotion they made the New World's freedom safer, richer, more far-reaching, more capable of growth.

"Our home was in Naples in the South of Italy. It is so beautiful there! And the sun shines all day long and every day, and we often sing our dear song, "La bella Napoli." We loved our dear sunny Italy so much!
But we were very poor, and father heard there is good times in America and plenty money; so one day he say good-by to us all and come over here. He not find plenty money, and sometimes he very poor, and it was long to wait, but by and by he find a good work and being to save money to bring us over.
"Every week my mother gotta letter, and every time it tell how much money my father saved. Father can't write himself, but he know a boy that can; and mother, she get a lady that she work for to read it to her. We not have so many schools in Italy, and when the father and mother were little they not have much chance; but my Italy now is like other countries and make more schools, and many children can go, but not all.
I learn a little, and the American lady that mother wash for, she teacha me the English. Father, he write that, when we come to America, we all shall go to the school; so we all want to make hurry to come to this land.
"At last, in a letter came money to buy the ticket for all of us, mother and grandmother and all the children. Mother think it much work to get us all ready, but we all helped; and, after all, there was not much to get ready, for we not own many things; and so at last we all were packed up, and every one had something to carry except baby.

Which of the following formats would benefit from the use of multiple narrators?
A novel about three friends' experiences at boarding school
A poem that discusses the beauty of nature
An article about the discovery of a new species of turtle
An autobiography of a famous inventor
Answers
Answer:
The format that would benefit most from the use of multiple narrators is a novel about three friends' experiences at boarding school.
Explanation:
This is because the novel would be able to explore the experiences of each friend from their own unique perspective. This would allow the reader to get a more well-rounded view of the story and to better understand the characters.
The other formats would not benefit as much from the use of multiple narrators. A poem about the beauty of nature would be better served by a single narrator who can use their own personal voice to express their love of nature. An article about the discovery of a new species of turtle would be better served by a single narrator who can provide a clear and concise overview of the discovery. An autobiography of a famous inventor would be better served by a single narrator who can share their own personal story of how they came to be an inventor.
Here are some specific examples of how multiple narrators could be used in a novel about three friends' experiences at boarding school:
One narrator could be the oldest friend, who is trying to navigate the challenges of being a new student at boarding school.
Another narrator could be the middle friend, who is trying to find her place in the school and make new friends.
The third narrator could be the youngest friend, who is trying to adjust to being away from home for the first time.
By using multiple narrators, the novel would be able to explore the experiences of each friend from their own unique perspective. This would allow the reader to get a more well-rounded view of the story and to better understand the characters.

Rap is one of the biggest selling music genres today, and many rap artists also consider themselves modern day poets, as do their fans. Whether you prefer poetry over rap or the other way around, there are definitely similarities and differences between both art forms. The main difference is the music.
Rhythm
In poetry, a combination of words will create a rhythm such as iambic pentameter. With this type of phrasing, the first word is an unaccented syllable followed by an accented syllable with a total of 10 syllables per line. There is a rhythm to the phrasing of poetry and rapping. The difference is that the rhythm of rap works in conjunction to the beat of the music, so although the phrasing can be different, both retain a certain type of rhythm and flow of words.
Rhyme
Although rhyming isn't always present in rap or poetry, it certainly is common. In some poetry, the words at the end of two consecutive lines will rhyme, or the words at the end of the second and fourth lines. However, some artists will make a variation of rhymes throughout the poem. Rap will also rhyme, but the beats of the music will sometimes dictate the phrasing as well as the placement of the rhyming words.
Differences
The most obvious difference in these two artistic styles is that rap is words put to music and poetry is not. Also, a big consideration in rap music are the beats and the groove. In poetry, there is nothing to consider but the words and perhaps the rhythm and rhyme. However, in rap the importance of the beats can sometimes overshadow the importance of lyrics. Rappers are also sometimes concerned with whether or not people can dance to the song. Chances are, you won't find many poets that are concerned with whether or not their poems will inspire someone to dance while reading them.

Based on the context, what meaning does this passage convey by using verbal irony?
Answers
Answer:
I suppose the verbal irony is conveyed through option A.
The Curse of the Bambino
(1) On December 26, 1919, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Harry Frazee, made a decision that would haunt fans of the club for 86 years. He sold his best player, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees. This transaction marked the beginning of the "Curse of the Bambino." The Curse of the Bambino was the belief that, because the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, they would never win another World Series.
(2) Ruth helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 1915, 1916, and 1918. However, his demands for a higher salary and his poor attitude caused Frazee to look for a chance to trade him. He chose an offer from the Yankees to sell Ruth for cash.
(3) Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Ruth would go on to become the greatest player in the history of the game. After purchasing Ruth, the Yankees would go on to become the most successful baseball club in history. They won their 26th World Series title in 2000.
(4) However, the worst part of the curse was that the Red Sox came very close to winning the championship several times but suffered heartbreaking losses. For Sox fans, seeing their team suffer heartbreaking losses was worse than the fate of teams like the Chicago Cubs, who were usually too bad to even get close.
(5) Finally, in 2004, Red Sox fans were rewarded for their loyalty. The Red Sox were able to defeat their rivals, the Yankees, to advance to the World Series. Then, they easily defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. While Red Sox fans suffered for 86 years, they would say that their victory in 2004 was sweeter because they had longed for it for so many years.
Which of the following sentences would best introduce paragraph 4?
A.
At least the Red Sox were still a good team for many of those years.
B.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox failed to win a single title since the day they sold Ruth.
C.
In addition, Roger Clemens won a Cy Young award for both the Red Sox and the Yankees.
D.
The Yankees and Red Sox now have a historic rivalry.
Answers
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The best sentence to introduce paragraph 4 is B. "Meanwhile, the Red Sox failed to win a single title since the day they sold Ruth." This sentence provides context for the paragraph and introduces the topic of the Red Sox's struggles after selling Babe Ruth.
Answer: (B) Meanwhile, the Red Sox failed to win a single title since the day they sold Ruth.
