Answer:
In To Kill a Mockingbird, children live in an inventive world where mysteries abound but little exists to actually cause them harm. Scout and Jem spend much of their time inventing stories about their reclusive neighbor Boo Radley, gleefully scaring themselves before rushing to the secure, calming presence of their father, Atticus. As the novel progresses, however, the imaginary threat that Boo Radley poses pales in comparison to the real dangers Jem and Scout encounter in the adult world. The siblings’ recognition of the difference between the two pushes them out of childhood and toward maturity—and as they make that transition, Boo Radley, their childhood bogeyman, helps serve as link between their past and their present. The games and stories Jem and Scout create around Boo Radley depict him as a source of violence and danger. However, though these inventions seem designed to prove the children’s braveness and maturity, they paradoxically prove that Jem, Scout, and their friend Dill fundamentally remain children. Their stories are gruesome, and the thrill of their games—such as touching the side of Boo’s house—comes from the danger they imagine they would face if Boo were to catch them. However, the children are able to indulge in wild imaginings and take what they perceive as risky chances only because they feel completely safe in the care of Atticus, who protects them from a dark, dangerous world. The threatening, menacing Boo thus remains firmly entrenched in their childhood worldview, where adults are infallible and all-powerful. When adult protection breaks down in the novel, Jem and Scout get their first taste of true danger, which is different from the imagined dangers they’d attributed to Boo Radley. The fire at Miss Maudie’s, Mrs. Dubose’s grisly death, and the violence and unrest that trails in the wake of the Tom Robinson case introduce real misfortune and anxiety into their lives. For the first time, adults are frightened and sad along with the children, and therefore cannot be counted on to provide security or refuge. Boo Radley, once such a threatening presence, now seems like a remnant of a more innocent time. The contrast between then and now seems all the more stark because Boo Radley remains in their lives, a constant reminder of how things had been before. Faced with real dangers, Jem and Scout must tap into new levels of maturity in order to deal with tragedy, new social challenges, and increased familial expectations. As their relationship with Atticus and the larger adult community changes, their relationship with Boo changes as well. Once just a creepy, mostly abstract figure, Boo begins playing a more active role in the children’s lives, first by protecting Scout with a blanket during Miss Maudie’s fire and then by protecting Jem and Scout from an attack by Bob Ewell. Boo had been an integral part of Jem and Scout’s childhood, and, in the midst of their burgeoning adulthood, he serves as a link between their past and their present. Once an imagined enemy and a source of perceived danger, Boo transforms into a true friend and ally, helping them at crucial moments in their transition from childhood to maturity. The children’s early perspective of “danger” centered on Boo Radley, and only by understanding the contrast between these imagined dangers and the real dangers of the adult world can they pass from childhood into adulthood. But the children’s shifting interactions with Boo points to another element of maturity as well: the capacity for empathy. Once simply an eccentric figure in the children’s games, Boo ultimately becomes a true human being to them—one who has endured more than his fair share of tragedy and deserves his fair share of honor, respect, and affection.
Explanation:
What is the best resolution for the narrative?
A.
And so, I decided to stop worrying and start looking forward to the adventure that awaited me.
B.
I missed my friends desperately and wanted nothing more than to return to the city I grew up in.
C.
I knew I would miss my friends, so I planned to visit them some time next year.
D.
I wish my mom had asked me what I wanted before making the decision to move.
TEXT: The following is a student draft. It may contain errors.
Two weeks before I started high school, my mother announced we would be moving . . . to an entirely different city, halfway across the country! Needless to say, I was horrified. I had already arranged for a way to avoid taking the bus carpooling with my friend Kwe and had signed up for all my classes and extracurricular activities. I was certain this new school wouldn't have nearly as many options, and I knew there was no way I was going to be able to set up a new carpool with only a few days to meet new people.
I would be moving away. I wondered, what would this new city be like; what would the people be like; what would people do with their time? I just couldn't fathom a life outside of the one I knew and so I began to worry about whether I would be able to fit in.
These were the thoughts that haunted me for the next fourteen days, as we packed all our possessions and loaded them into the moving truck; as we drove two thousand miles across the country; as we settled into our new apartment; and then, as I stood staring at the massive glass doors that led into the new school I would begin the next day. But as I stood there, hesitant to take another step into this unknown world, I realized something: things are never as bad as I think they will be.
Answer:
A.
And so, I decided to stop worrying and start looking forward to the adventure that awaited me.
Explanation:
According to the given narrative, the author talks about his horror at finding out from his mother that they would be moving to a new city. He was terrified about whether he would fit in and if he would be able to make new friends at his new school. He thought and pondered about this for the next fourteen days, but when they finally moved, he found out things were not as bad as he thought.
Therefore, the best resolution for the narrative is "And so, I decided to stop worrying and start looking forward to the adventure that awaited me."

The Burnell children are gifted an elaborate dollhouse by a friend of the family who once stayed with them. They immediately fall in love with the dollhouse, and Kezia especially enjoys the little lamp which sits on one of its tables. When they next go to school, the Burnell children brag left and right about the dollhouse, and they get their entire class's attention. They are allowed to bring any two classmates per day by the house to look at the dollhouse, but they cannot bring the Kelvey children, who come from a family so poor even their teacher treats them differently. Kezia disobeys this rule, and brings the Kelveys by to look at the dollhouse, but she is discovered by her aunt, and the Kelveys are quickly shooed away

Answer:
B. Decrepit
Explanation:
Well, they're asking you for a negative connotation, correct?
If you don't know what a connotation is, it's basically the feeling involved with a word. For example, two words that technically mean the same thing are: stench and aroma. They both mean a smell, but stench has a negative connotation (like you wouldn't say "Her perfume had a gorgeous stench.") and aroma has a positive connotation ("Her perfume had a gorgeous aroma." fits much better).
----------------------
So, using inferencing, you want to find a sentence that sounds negative. Let's go through each answer choice together:
-A. Aging
Well, aging is actually a word that has a neutral connotation. It could be used perfectly well in both "Her aging skin sagged" and "Her aging skin still shone". Even if you're not sure about the connotation of aging (it is the only answer choice that doesn't show up in the passage after all), you can skip this one and go look at the others.
-B. Decrepit
Now, this is where we can look at the sentences before and after the word to see if they're being used positively or negatively. We can see that the passage tells us that decrepit is being used by someone who wants to demolish the library. If this isn't enough evidence, the following sentence states that "'It detracts from the downtown.'" Doesn't sound like this guy likes the library very much, huh. Therefore we can rule decrepit as having a negative connotation. We'll still go through the other ones to see why they aren't the answer.
-C. Venerable
Let's look at the sentence venerable is being used in. "'That venerable edifice had many distinguished guests, including a U.S. president.'" They also tell you that the man saying this believes the library should be saved. That's why venerable can be ruled as having a positive or maybe even neutral connotation.
-D. Vintage
Vintage is used in the sentence. "'The library is a historic treasure. It has elements of vintage architecture.'" Calling the library a historic treasure sounds positive, no? That is why vintage will also have a positive/neutral connotation.
----------------------
That's all for explanations! I hope your understanding of why the answer is correct has improved after reading my lengthy explanation!

Answer:
This is Mart Mets. An occupant at your hostel during the holiday. I am writing to express my complaints about my stay at your establishment. Firstly, the staff were very rude, especially at the front desk. They were very snappy towards me when I asked simple questions of them, and one of them even made a fatphobic comment towards me! Secondly, the room I was given was just atrocious! The moment I walked in, a wave of mildew odor just hit me. It was so bad my eyes began to water! The beds weren't made and the sheets looked like they haven't been washed in ages. Don't even get me started on the carpet! It had bald patches that you would see on a diseased stray dog! And I'm nintey percent certain that was where the mildew smell was coming from. Oh! And the neighbors were just so inconsiderate! There was banging, yelling, crashing of objects; I beleive they were a couple. If so, they really need to reconsider their relationship. But that's besides the point! The point is that your hostel was awful and my stay there was far from enjoyable! Good day to you! And I don't mean that in a pleasent way!
The poet locates phrases that seem to portray hatred positively--such as "it knows how to make beauty" (line 35)-- near details that show how hatred triggers destruction
Hello. Your question is incomplete, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours, which questioned what message the author wanted to send when showing hatred as something positive and capable of causing destruction. If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.
By showing hate as something that can be both good and bad at the same time, the author wants to show how attractive and satisfying this feeling is, making it very easy for people to feel the urge to feel it and surrender to it, even knowing the destruction and discomfort they may feel afterwards.
Cole notices that the baby sparrows tried to do something before their death. What was it? How does Cole relate this to his experience growing up?
Answer:
Before they died, the baby sparrows tried to eat the food that their mother was giving them. Cole related to this, because he never knew what parental care was, since his parents were never at home and he never felt cared for by either of them.
Explanation:
Although you have not presented the text to which you ask these questions, we can state that you are referring to the book "Sprit bear" through the context of the question.
"Sprit bear" tells the story of Cole, who after becoming involved in a highly violent crime, was sentenced to be trapped in an indigenous reservation, so that the concepts and teachings of the indigenous people could modify the violent and criminal behavior that he presented. Although Cole resisted a lot to submit to the indigenous people's beliefs and concepts, little by little he started to get more and more involved and to feel better in contact with nature and indigenous culture. He started to understand many points of his personality. One of these points was how the lack of parental care interfered with his life. He thinks about it when he sees a mother bird, trying to feed the baby birds, before they die.

What is the meaning for f Thoreau statement I have learned the swiftest traveller is he that goes afoot
Thoreau wanted to analyze and examine the swiftest traveler because he have a keen interest in that case.
What does Thoreau tried to say?
When Thoreau says, "i have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another," he means that physical closeness doesn't guarantee intellectual or spiritual closeness.
Thoreau has expressed this riddle of the distance involved in being solitary in "Economy" and will express it again in "Visitors."
He points out that no amount of walking can bring people together, deliberately confusing "close physical proximity" with "agreeing with one another."

What is Keller's response to criticisms others have about American materialism in regard to the Empire State Building?
Answer:
She claims that the Empire State Building still has poetry beneath its surface, and it´s a source of inspiration, something beautiful and spiritual.
Explanation:
When asked about what he "saw" from the top of the then newly-opened, Hellen Keller, who was famously both deaf and blind since she was a child, wrote a letter (1932) describing her experience. There, she deems those who see the building as a symbol of American Materialism and vanity to be cynics and supersensitive souls, unable to appreciate the beauty of the building and how it symbolizes the efforts put into constructing it.

can. (7) In short, we need to restock the library to ensure our students

I would personally change some of your transition words that you have in here. For example, change it to “in the text” or “on this page”. It’s also not as fluid and doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as normal
Explanation:
You want your paragraphs to flow and not be sidetracked on other topics. Have one to two sentences focusing on one thing about the story such as suspense, twists, plot points etc. Hope this makes sense :)
Answer:
In your first sentence, you put "fluid" but based off the rest of the sentence I believe you mean "fluent".
In your second sentence, put a period AFTER the word "interesting" and capitalize the "T" in "the".
In your fourth sentence, take away the period after the word "murder" and connect those sentences
In your sixth sentence, take away the comma and make "give" plural. So it should be "This sentence gives"
Lastly, in your second-to-last sentence take away the period after Lanyon.
