Claim: Hybrid cars are not as helpful to the environment as some think, because making the cars still creates pollution. Therefore, the only environmentally safe mode of transportation is walking or biking. Topic: blank. Position: Walking or biking is better than driving hybrid cars. Support: Hybrid cars cause pollution when they are being manufactured.
Which phrase best fills in the blank in this graphic organizer to describe the topic of the claim?
Manufacturing of hybrid cars
Protecting the environment
Walking as a forms of transportation
Environmentally safe transportation

*Why are the other answers most likely incorrect?
•Manufacturing of hybrid cars was stated in the claim but it is not the main point of the claim. Biking and walking was also stated in the claim as well.
•Protecting the environment is of course the whole point of trying to find the most environmentally safe modes of transportation but the persons claim overall is mostly focused on environmentally safe transportation.
•Walking as a forms of transportation was also stated but hybrid cars and biking was stated in the claim as well and it is not the main point of the claim.

Then I smiled because all of the questions were over. The men asked Papa and Mama to read some Italian words from a book, and the official stamped our papers. Then he grinned and said in English, “Welcome to the United States of America!” And in that instant, joy won the fight on Mama’s face.

Q: Things that can caused people to be shootings
*This is for my English work * I needed to be 2-3 paragraph in your own words
Answer:
hope you help
Explanation:
Four assumptions frequently arise in the aftermath of mass shootings in the United States: (1) that mental illness causes gun violence, (2) that psychiatric diagnosis can predict gun crime, (3) that shootings represent the deranged acts of mentally ill loners, and (4) that gun control “won’t prevent” another Newtown (Connecticut school mass shooting). Each of these statements is certainly true in particular instances. Yet, as we show, notions of mental illness that emerge in relation to mass shootings frequently reflect larger cultural stereotypes and anxieties about matters such as race/ethnicity, social class, and politics. These issues become obscured when mass shootings come to stand in for all gun crime, and when “mentally ill” ceases to be a medical designation and becomes a sign of violent threat.

Answer:
Interact with the text is the strategies of annotating, freewriting, and illustrating help you to do.
Explanation:
What Does the Term "Annotation" Mean?
An annotation is a comment or explanation added to a book, picture, or any other type of literature. It is a method of learning that has been around for much longer than books themselves. Medieval scribes utilized it even when they were just transcribing.
Many people see it as a logical progression from reading. Making notes in the margins of books in college, according to Sam Anderson, "quickly began to feel, for me, like something more intense: a way to not just passively read but to fully enter a text, to collaborate with it, to mingle with an author on some kind of primary textual plane," in an essay for The Times Magazine published in 2011.

A question with no correct answer:
In a multi-sentence response,
describe a time you ventured out of your comfort zone. What motivated you? What made it difficult? How
did you overcome being out of your comfort zone?
I want to see your responses! This is for a test.
Answer:
A lot of the anxiety that comes from leaving your comfort zone is due to uncomfortable levels of uncertainty. ... The more afraid we are, the smaller our comfort zone becomes and the more difficult it is to break out of it. Familiarity is comfortable and enjoyable, so it's no real surprise that new things get our guard up, so When in your comfort zone, your brain doesn’t want anything to change. Your needs are met, you have zero stress, and your brain recognizes that the body is surviving. It’s a recipe for steady performance.
Your brain especially doesn’t like change. It requires so much energy for day-to-day activity that it doesn’t want to give extra resources to the attention required to do new thingsGetting out of your comfort zone from time to time creates just enough good stress to ramp up your focus, creativity, pace, and drive, and it helps you respond to life stress when unexpected things happen.
How has America changed over time? Is the United States handling the current refugee crisis differently than during World War 2 and the Holocaust?
Answer:
America has changed a lot over time. It was once a nation of immigrants, but in recent years, it has become more and more difficult for refugees to come to the United States. During World War II, the United States took in millions of refugees, but today, the number of refugees admitted each year is much smaller.
There are a number of reasons for this change. One reason is that the United States is now a much more diverse country than it was in the past. In the early 20th century, the majority of Americans were white, but today, the country is home to people from all over the world. This diversity has made some Americans less welcoming to refugees, who they see as outsiders.
Another reason for the change is that the United States is now facing a number of its own problems, such as economic inequality and terrorism. These problems have made some Americans less willing to help refugees, who they see as a drain on resources.
Despite these challenges, there are still many Americans who are willing to help refugees. There are a number of organizations that work to help refugees, and there are also many individual Americans who volunteer their time to help refugees adjust to life in the United States.
It is important to remember that refugees are people just like us. They are fleeing violence and persecution, and they are looking for a safe place to live. We should all do our part to help them.

Answer:
The conflict in the passage is Colin has never seen the garden, since he has never been outside because he's always in his bed because of his sickness.
Mary is smart, and helpful, a girl who loves nature and loves to be social. She enjoys her time with Dickon and Colin.
Direct and indirect characterization help develop the conflict by showing how amazing Colins sights are when he goes outside. It shows it directly by stating, 'Colin had actually dropped back against his cushions, even though he gasped with delight'. Whereas an example of it being showed indirectly is where the author stated, 'He looked so strange and different because a pink glow of color had actually crept all over him- ivory face and neck and hands and all.'

Answer:
Mrs. Thompson, a middle-aged school teacher, was standing in front of the classroom during a lively discussion on grammar. Suddenly, she stumbled and accidentally dropped her lesson plan on the ground.
One of the students, a young girl named Laura, noticed this and spoke up. "Mrs. Thompson, are you okay?"
Mrs. Thompson looked a bit embarrassed by her clumsiness, but luckily, she was an unflappable person who was used to overcoming unexpected obstacles. "Yes, Laura, I'm fine. Just a little misstep."
The class continued without a hitch and Mrs. Thompson was back to her usual upbeat self. Suddenly, one of the students, a stubborn young boy named Tim, raised his hand and asked a question that had nothing to do with the current lesson.
"Mrs. Thompson, why do we have to learn this boring stuff? It's definitely not going to help us in the real world."
Mrs. Thompson took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. She knew that Tim was an obstinate child, but she was adaptable and knew how to deal with him. "Tim, I understand that this subject may not be your favorite, but it's important to learn it. It will help you improve your language skills and be better at communicating."
Tim rolled his eyes, but Mrs. Thompson didn't let that faze her. She continued teaching the lesson, never losing her composure.
As the class ended, Laura approached Mrs. Thompson.
Answer:
In a bustling café, permeated with the alluring scent of freshly brewed coffee, Sarah, an aspiring young writer brimming with determination, sat across from Henry, her unflappable and wise mentor. The café buzzed with lively conversations and joyous laughter as the two indulged in their steaming cups of java.
Abruptly, Sarah's eyes widened with a jolt of realization. "Oh no, Henry! I accidentally sent the incorrect version of my manuscript to the publisher. They were expecting my latest novel, but unknowingly, I sent them an outdated draft!"
Henry, renowned for his adaptable nature, calmly regarded Sarah's face, radiating anxiety. He swiftly assured her, "Fear not, Sarah. Fortunately, this predicament can be resolved. Let us promptly reach out to the publisher and elucidate the inadvertent mix-up."
A wave of relief washed over Sarah, yet an undercurrent of embarrassment persisted. She lamented, "I can't fathom how I committed such a foolish blunder. I ought to have been more cautious."
Henry, with his familiar and soothing voice, reassured her, "Mistakes are a part of life, Sarah. We all stumble on our paths. It is how we obstinately confront them that truly defines us."
Guided by Henry's wisdom, Sarah contacted the publisher, unbeknownst to her, a realm of unexpected possibilities awaited. The publisher, to her amazement, marveled at the obstinate craftsmanship of the outdated draft. They insisted it held definite promise, steering Sarah's embarrassment towards a newfound confidence. She realized that even in the face of mishaps, lies the potential for growth and unforeseen success.
which adjective best describes Mr. White's character?
Answer: I would say reckless
Explanation: he acts without thinking of the consequences or dangers.
Which sentence has a misplaced modifier?
Answer:
B. It was the frog that caught my eye on the lily pad in the pond.
Explanation:
In sentence B, "It was the frog that caught my eye on the lily pad in the pond," the phrase "on the lily pad in the pond" is a modifier that describes where the frog was located. However, the placement of this modifier creates confusion because it seems to modify "my eye" instead of "frog."
To clarify the intended meaning, the modifier should be placed closer to the noun it is meant to modify. A possible revision could be:
"The frog on the lily pad in the pond caught my eye."

Which description is an example of direct characterization?
He slurped his soup and gulped his milk, then wiped his face on his sleeve and burped.
He gazed at the sprawling buffet and thought that he had never seen so much food in one place.
He beckoned the waitress and said through a mouthful, “Can I get more butter for these rolls?”
He was rude, shuffling to the front of the buffet line and elbowing customers out of his way.
Answer: he was rude, shuffling to the front of the buffet line and elbowing customers out of the way
Explanation:
this is the answer because it is directly stating that he was rude
Answer:
The last one (he was rude, shuffling to the front of the buffet line and elbowing customers out of his way)
Explanation:
I am not enitrely sure but I think it's the last one because the definition of a direct charactization is basically exactly what the words state. A direct characterization is when you talk about a character's PERSONALITY directly meaning it shouldn't be the first one because there is no personality directly stated and all though 2 and 3 mention some sort of personality, it is not direct. I think the most direct sentence of stating the man's personality is the last. let me know if this helps you :)
