Write an essay describing what you think would be a good solution to the overfishing problem.
Which essay structure is most appropriate for this prompt?
persuasion
summarize
definition
analysis
Answer: Overfishing is a serious issue that threatens the sustainability of our oceans and the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on fishing for their income. It is a complex problem with multiple causes, but a good solution to the overfishing problem must be comprehensive and address the root causes of the problem.
One of the main causes of overfishing is the increasing demand for seafood, which leads to over-exploitation of fish populations. To address this, governments and international organizations should work together to promote sustainable seafood consumption and encourage people to reduce their seafood consumption or choose seafood that is sustainably sourced. This could be achieved through education campaigns, labeling programs, and consumer incentives.
Another important factor contributing to overfishing is the lack of effective regulation and enforcement of fishing practices. Governments should strengthen their fishing regulations and provide the necessary resources to enforce them, including monitoring and enforcement of fishing quotas, gear restrictions, and protected areas.
To further reduce the impact of fishing on marine life, fishing practices should be made more sustainable by promoting the use of fishing gear that has a lower impact on the environment. This could include gear that is designed to minimize the bycatch of non-target species, as well as gear that is less destructive to habitats. Additionally, the promotion of selective fishing practices, such as the use of selective fishing gear and catch-and-release methods, can help ensure the long-term sustainability of fish populations.
In addition to these measures, it is also important to address the root causes of overfishing, including poverty and food insecurity. To do this, governments should work to increase access to education, employment, and other resources in coastal communities, and promote alternative livelihoods that do not rely on overfishing.
In conclusion, addressing the overfishing problem requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the problem, including unsustainable seafood consumption, ineffective regulation and enforcement, and poverty and food insecurity. By promoting sustainable seafood consumption, strengthening fishing regulations and enforcement, promoting sustainable fishing practices, and addressing poverty and food insecurity, we can work towards a future where our oceans are abundant and sustainable.
Explanation: The most appropriate essay structure for this prompt is "persuasion." A persuasive essay is written with the intention of convincing the reader to adopt a certain viewpoint or take a specific action. In this case, the goal is to persuade the reader to support a particular solution to the overfishing problem.

Explanation:
Taste, smell, hearing, sight, and touch are all complex methods through which we can perceive the world around us. We are able to see, smell, hear, see and taste thanks to our sense organs: tongue, nose, ear, eyes, and tongue and skin.
When there's a sound or a noise, we perceive it through our hearing sense. When we drink, lick, or eat something we perceive the flavor of it through our taste (sour, sweet, bitter). Likewise, we can identify odors, scents, fragrances, etc. through our smell sense; we can identify light with our sight, and lastly, we can identify the texture, consistency, or form of something with our touch.
The Importance of Elsewhere
Paul Theroux
Read the passage, then answer the question.
As a child, yearning to leave home and go far away, the image of my mind was flight—my little self hurrying off alone. The word “travel” did not occur to me, nor did the word “transformation,” which was my unspoken but enduring wish. I wanted to find a new self in a distant place, and new things to care about. The importance of elsewhere was something I took on faith. Elsewhere was the place I wanted to be. Too young to go, I read about elsewhere, fantasizing about my freedom. Books were my road. And then, when I was old enough to go, the roads I traveled became the obsessive subject in my own books. Eventually I saw that the most passionate travelers have always also been passionate readers and writers. And that is how this book came about.
2 The wish to travel seems to me characteristically human: the desire to move, to satisfy your curiosity or ease your fears, to change the circumstances of your life, to be a stranger, to make a friend, to experience an exotic landscape, to risk the unknown, to bear witness to the consequences, tragic or comic, of people possessed by the narcissism of minor differences. Chekhov said, “If you’re afraid of loneliness, don’t marry.” I would say, if you’re afraid of loneliness, don’t travel. The literature of travel shows the effects of solitude, sometimes mournful, more often enriching, now and then unexpectedly spiritual.
3 All my traveling life I have been asked the maddening and oversimplifying question “what is your favorite travel book?” How to answer it? I have been on the road for almost fifty years and writing about my travels for more than forty years. One of the first books my father read to me at bedtime when I was small was Donn Fendler: Lost on a Mountain in Maine. This 1930s as-told-to account described how a twelve-year-old boy survived eight days on Mount Katahdin. Donn suffered, but he made it out of the Maine woods. The book taught me lessons in wilderness survival, including the basic one: “Always follow a river or a creek in the direction the water is flowing.” I have read many travel books since, and I have made journeys on every continent except Antarctica, which I have recounted in eight books and hundreds of essays. I have felt renewed inspiration in the thought of little Donn making it safely down the high mountain.
4 The travel narrative is the oldest in the world, the story the wanderer tells to the folk gathered around the fire after his or her return from a journey. “This is what I saw”—news from the wider world; the odd, the strange, the shocking, tales of beasts or of other people. “They’re just like us!” or “They’re not like us at all!” The traveler’s tale is always in the nature of a report. And it is the origin of narrative fiction too, the traveler enlivening a dozing group with invented details, embroidering on experience. It’s how the first novel in English got written. Daniel Defoe based Robinson Crusoe on the actual experience of the castaway Alexander Selkirk, though he enlarged the story, turning Selkirk’s four and a half years on a remote Pacific Island into twenty-eight years on a Caribbean island, adding Friday, the cannibals, and tropical exotica.
5 The storyteller’s intention is always to hold the listener with a glittering eye and riveting tale. I think of the travel writer as idealized in the lines of the ghost of Hamlet’s father at the beginning of the play:
6 I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part And each particular hair to stand on end.
7 But most are anecdotal, amusing, instructional, farcical, boastful, mock-heroic, occasionally hair-raising, warnings to the curious, or else they ring bells like mad and seem familiar. At their best, they are examples of what is most human in travel.
The following question has two parts. Answer Part A and then answer Part B.
Part A
How does the author develop the idea that travel narratives are worthwhile?
Question 1 options:
A) He describes a book that influenced him.
B) He explains that he admires Shakespeare.

Both “Fourteen” and “The Dinner Party” tell the story of a woman’s frustration with the changing guest list for a dinner party that she has planned. What are two major differences between the play and the short story? Give examples from the texts to support your response.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The bad weather causes several guests to not feel well and the Pringles have to include some people who were not originally on the guest list.
The setting which affects the events of the story told in Fourteen and “The Dinner Party” was attributed to the bad weather causes several guests to not feel well and the Pringles have to include some people who were not originally on the guest list.
Answer:
The texts differ in how much of Mrs. Pringle’s voice the reader “hears”. Because the play depends on characters telling the story, there is much more dialogue that is assigned to her character. For example, upon hearing that Mr. Farnsworth has canceled, she rants about several things: her seating diagram; Mr. Farnsworth’s excuse; the missed opportunity for Elaine; the threat to her own reputation; and the fact that Elaine is so shy or meek. She speaks on all of these things with only four attempts at interrupting by Elaine and Dunham, who only get in a few lines. On the other hand, in the story, all of her frustrations are stated in about seven short sentences, which is common or to be expected in short stories.
In the play, lines for Elaine and Dunham often do not reveal much of what they’re feeling, except when and after Elaine speaks to the Tuppers and is upset at the mess she’s made in agreeing that they can bring their guests. In the story, we see the effect of Mrs. Pringle’s rants on Dunham when he thinks to himself, “The woman has gone mad.” We get even more detail about his feelings when he cuts into a conversation to announce the arrival of Mr. Morgan “without his usual regard for a butler’s decorum.”

Explain how this passage excuses and/or condemns Mathilde.
This passage excuses Mathilde because she is ranked alongside beautiful women who are meant to be elegant despite their social status.
How does this passage describe Mathilde?This passage contains no derogatory remarks that might have served to condemn Mathilde. It rather portrays all women in a positive light by saying that they have beauty, grace, and charm that serve them despite their roots.
Mathilde should have embraced these beautiful qualities rather than becoming greedy and launching herself into a lengthy debt repayment plan. In the latter part of the story, we see how Mathilde allowed herself to become possessed by the desire to impress other people.

Read the excerpt from "The Role of Social Media in the Arab Uprisings" by Heather Brown, Emily Guskin, and Amy Mitchell.
In July 2012 a report was published by the United States Institute of Peace. . . .
. . . The study suggests that the importance of social media was in communicating to the rest of the world what was happening on the ground during the uprisings. . . .
Data from the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project at least somewhat supports this conclusion with its findings that the majority of Egyptians are not online. Nearly two-thirds (65%) of the total population do not use the internet. When looking specifically at those with a college education, the use of social media for obtaining political information is more prevalent than in other segments of the population. Though most of the country is disconnected from the internet, 84% of those who are online say they visit social networking sites for news about Egypt’s political situation. These findings point to social media’s important role in spreading information, but do not necessarily indicate that social media was a mobilizing force in the uprisings.
Passing along information is an important part of the news process. Earlier [Project for Excellence in Journalism] research finds the role of Twitter in disseminating breaking news is not limited to the Arab uprisings—the death of Whitney Houston, for example, was announced on Twitter 55 minutes before the [Associated Press] confirming the story.
What types of evidence do the authors use in this excerpt? Select three options.
research related to the popular use of social media in Egypt.
a statistic supporting the claim that social media use in Egypt is not widespread.
testimony about how social media use has changed in Egypt.
an example that compares how traditional media and social media handle a news story.

Shakespeare's briefest tragedy was first published in 1623's Folio, possibly from a prompt book. A powerful Scottish general called Macbeth is told by three witches that he will one day govern Scotland.
