Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother.

Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. The text discusses the Chinese calendar by writing, "Dragons are included along with eleven real animals." What is the main idea of the passage?
Answer:
The main idea of the text is that dragons may have existed in real life and that science is not enough to prove it or not.
Explanation:
The text shows that although science determines that dragons did not exist, many ancient cultures describe this animal together with the animals we know in real life. Furthermore, these cultures are different from each other, many of them show no similarities. Which proves that dragons may have been real animals, seen by ancient societies, but now extinct, or not.

The reader can infer that A. young dogs cannot play games. B. Capote is not very smart. C. some dogs will never fetch. D. dogs can be trained to fetch.
The reader can infer that?
A. young dogs cannot play games.
B. Capote is not very smart.
C. some dogs will never fetch.
D. dogs can be trained to fetch.
Answer: A, young dogs cannot play games
Answer:
It's D, I've read the story before.
Explanation:
I wouldn't say C because it doesn't really match very well with the sentence at the end of the story. It says "He is not a perfect fetch player yet, but I can now tell that one day he will be!" Basically telling us that dogs can be trained if you train them to play a game.
what ironic situation does Shapiro describe in paragraph 3?
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the remaining part of the question containing paragraph 3 (The Lessons of Salem by Laura Shapiro).
"He was right: even now the Salem witch trials haunt the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of Americans, tourists, and history buffs alike, who visit Salem for a glimpse of our Puritan past at its most chilling. This year "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary, including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century. With the participation of such organizations as Amnesty International, the Tercentenary has placed a special emphasis on human rights and the role of the individual conscience in times of terror. In 1692, those who “confessed” to witchcraft were spared; only those who insisted on their innocence were hanged. Earlier this month a memorial to the victims was unveiled and on that occasion, the first annual Salem Award, created to honor a significant contribution to social justice, was presented to Gregory Allen Williams of Inglewood, Calif. In the midst of the Los Angeles riots last spring, Williams, who is black, risked his life to save an Asian-American attacked by a mob.
Explanation:
Remember, the term ironic situation is used when a situation where an action brings about an unexpected effect no one imagined would occur. In other words, the resulting outcome is different from what was expected.
For example, Shapiro stated, "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary [three hundredth anniversisary], including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century."
This is an ironic situuation because we learned from the previous paragraphs that those accused of been witches or devils were killed in other to stop the spread of such actions or kind of thinking. However, the very actions that were once condemned have become the subject of attention, with dramatizations of the trials, etc.

This event shows a shift from old-fashioned tradition, which teaches complete obedience in women, and foreshadows the independent spirits in the American daughters.
This question is about "The Joy Luck Club"
Answer:
The representation of divorce is an event that shows a change in tradition and foreshadows the spirit of independence of the daughters.
Explanation:
"The Joy Luck Club" is a book that represents the difference between tradition and the modern, portraying mothers and daughters of Chinese descent who present different cultural shocks in relation to independence, the role of women and the role of the family.
The divorce is represented in this book, as a great breach of tradition, both maintained by the mothers of the book. However, the author uses the representation of divorce as an atp for the independence of her children, not as an act of rebellion against culture and customs.

Consider the three versions of The Hunger Games-text, audio, and film--you have analyzed. Think about the similarities and differences in the
way the story elements--character, setting, plot, conflict, and narration (or point of view) are conveyed in each. Also, think about the possible
theme that has begun to emerge from the part of the story you have read, heard, and seen. In a clear thesis statement, choose the medium you
think will best convey the theme and provide sound reasons for your choice. Organize and support your writing with relevant evidence from the
text, audio, and film, using transitions to clarify relationships among the media. Review the vocabulary words you have learned. Be sure to check
each word's etymology, or origin, in a print or digital dictionary. Make sure you are using the vocabulary correctly in context. Be aware of words
with multiple meanings and use them appropriately. Use transitions to clarify how your ideas are related. Use a formal writing style and provide a

Your brother who is in the third year in another school has written to confide in you that he is about to stop schooling and go in to business. Write to him advising him against his decision
Answer and Explanation:
Dear (brother's name),
I'm glad you told me about your plans before going through with them. We have always been each other's confidant and, even though we live apart and do not meet as often now, I'm happy to see nothing has changed our relationship.
Not only have we always been each other's confidant, we have also been brutally honest to each other all our lives. Maybe other people wouldn't be able to understand such straightforward opinions as the ones we give, but we know we do it out of love and concern. That is why I will write my opinion about what you told in the most direct and simple way I can. It is important that we maintain that honesty.
I do not think you have made the right decision for yourself. I do, however, understand and value your dreams. I know you've always wished to open your own business, and I believe you will do it soon. But not right now. Even though we do pay a price for it, knowledge is, in a way, priceless. What you will gain in knowledge by not quitting school makes it worth the wait. You will go in to business wiser, more mature, more prepared. I know the theory is different from real life, but I believe both to be important. And you do not have to choose one or the other. You can have both, theory and real-life experience, if you just wait a bit longer.
I hope we get the chance to discuss this in person. Nevertheless, keep in mind that I am here for you, no matter what you decide.

Find the error with subject-verb agreement. Select the incorrect verb and type it correctly. Either baby kale or spinach make a nice addition to Tuscan white bean soup
Answer:
The incorrect verb is "make" and will be replaced by "makes".
So, the final corrected sentence will be - Either baby kale or spinach makes a nice addition to Tuscan white bean soup.
Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement refers to the use of the correct form of verb for the subject in the sentence. This means that the verb depends on the subject/ subjects and should be used accordingly.
In the given case, the use of "either/or" is one case where the verb will be according to the subject nearest to it. So, in the given sentence, the subject nearest to the verb "make" is spinach which is single. Either way, the subjects in the sentence are both singular, which makes the verb to be in the singular form.
Therefore, the incorrect verb form is "make" which will rather be "makes".
Thus, the final corrected sentence will be-
Either baby kale or spinach makes a nice addition to Tuscan white bean soup.
Answer:
Explanation:
Either
baby
kale
or

F
Answer:
false
Explanation:
Job 1:1 defines Job as a man "who was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and eschewed evil." The word perfect, often used in Scripture, usually means "spiritually mature." Job is called upright, which indicates that he was in fellowship with God. He is said to have feared God. In Scriptural parlance, this word demonstrates Job's trust in God, his preoccupation with God. He had faith in Him, and he rested in that faith. "And [he] eschewed [or turned away from] evil." Evil is negativity to God. Evil is the essence of Satan; whereas grace is the essence of God. Job turned away from evil. God knew Job's heart and knew he could be trusted with disaster. He had integrity before God, and God doubled His blessing on Job in the end. Main Idea?
Answer:
The main idea is that those who place their trust in God, live a life of righteousness and goodness and move away from the wicked and what God disapproves of, attain grace, strength, maturity of spirit and resilience from God.
Explanation:
The text above reflects on the situation of Job, a biblical character who followed the path and commandments of God, keeping himself away from what is evil and living according to the guidance of a good and powerful god. As a reward, he won the grace of God that provided him with spiritual maturity, faith, resilience, strength and confidence. All of these characteristics are given by God to those who walk according to his principles, according to the text.

. . . Budget cuts always eliminate the least necessary. We drop premium cable before heat or electricity. Harvard’s decision [to close the primate research center] suggests that it, too, knows that primate research isn’t a necessary expense or a justifiable cruelty. But the monkeys will not celebrate if sent to another lab, as planned. They deserve protection from further harmful research. Sanctuaries, with financing, would be able to take them. I hope that Harvard, which has profited plenty, will do the right thing: Retire the monkeys with the support necessary to live the rest of their lives in safety and comfort [in a primate nature preserve].
