Answer:
A possible way to fill in the blanks is by using a reflexive pronoun:
Mum and Dad are away this weekend, so we have to look after ourselves.
Explanation:
Reflexive pronouns are used when the performer and the receiver of the action indicated by the verb are the same person or people. For example, with a knife in my hand, I can accidentally cut someone. However, if the person I cut is me, I must use a reflexive pronoun to indicate that: myself. For example: I cut myself with the knife.
The reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.
In the sentence we are analyzing here, the speaker is a son or a daughter. His/her parents are away, so he has to take care of him/herself. However, the sentence uses a plural pronoun "we". So, the reflexive pronoun must be befitting (we - ourselves). Thus,
Mum and Dad are away this weekend, so we have to look after ourselves.

1 point Great Britain tried to trade western Virginia to France for Montreal Great Britain tried to sell to France territory conquered during the war Great Britain forced new taxes on American colonists to pay for war debts Great Britain forced American colonists to migrate across the Appalachians.
Answer:
Among the sentences presented above, the one that presents a true event is:
Great Britain forced new taxes on American colonists to pay for war debts
Explanation:
Although England won the war against France, the costs of the battles were very high, which left England very indebted and in economic trouble. England also needed money to defend and protect the territories it conquered when it defeated France. All this considerably increased the amount of money that England needed and to be able to meet this economic need, England forced new taxes on American colonists, among these taxes we can mention the Stamp Act that came into force in 1765.
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus." The president wasn't touched—he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
And the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. The President's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

Which lines in this excerpt of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol reflect the theme of compassion versus material gain?
Answer:
"But you were always a good man of business, Jacob," faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself.
"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
It held up its chain at arm's length, as if that were the cause of all its unavailing grief, and flung it heavily upon the ground again.
"At this time of the rolling year," the spectre said, "I suffer most. Why did I walk through crowds of fellow-beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode! Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me!"
Scrooge was very much dismayed to hear the spectre going on at this rate, and began to quake exceedingly.
"Hear me!" cried the Ghost. "My time is nearly gone."
"I will," said Scrooge. "But don't be hard upon me! Don't be flowery, Jacob! Pray!"
"How it is that I appear before you in a shape that you can see, I may not tell. I have sat invisible beside you many and many a day."
It was not an agreeable idea. Scrooge shivered and wiped the perspiration from his brow.
"That is no light part of my penance," pursued the Ghost. "I am here tonight to warn you, that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate. A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer."
"You were always a good friend to me," said Scrooge. "Thank'ee!"

If we don’t double teachers’ salaries, then the public education system in this country will fail.
If we value education as much as we claim, we should put our money where our mouth is and raise teachers’ salaries.
Increasing teacher salaries might attract more competent individuals to the profession.
Perhaps more teachers would continue to teach, rather than leave the field, if their salaries were higher.

Answer:
Once upon a time, there once was a pincess whose name was Daisy. Her parents were naturally rich from the income of the country as the king and queen. Therefore, she was granted anything she wanted and in return, her parents left her alone for hours. Although most would say that was sad, Daisy didn't quite agree. She was a pampered rich girl who did everything she wanted and had knights to protect her. She never wanted more. One day, when her parents were attending a meeting, she fluttered her hand and gestured for the knights to leave. She wanted to explore. The knights and servants were naturally extremely worried for the well-being of the princess and, of course, their own heads if Daisy were to accidentally scratch herself. Daisy, however, being a manipulative girl at the young age of 15, somehow convinced the palace workers to leave her alone. Maybe, she threatened them, but so what? She would get away with it. And so, she set off on her journey. There was no worriedness in her mind as she made her way around her kingdom. Perhaps it was because of her past adventures, where her knights had been with her.
She walked and walked until she bumped her pretty, small, nose onto something. A gruff voice rang in her ear. The man growled and pushed her to the side where she and her incredible display of clothes became covered in mud. She shrieked and shouted but no one came to haul the girl back up. No one even cared. Then, with anger, she walked back towards to palace. There, she would bring her knights back. However, when she finally managed to stumble back home, her dress now being dragged on the ground as the mud caked her clothes, the knights didn't recognize her. Or, at least, they did pretend to not recognize her. They held her at sword point and held her down, while seemingly holding back chuckles of their own. It was only until she was yelling profanities that the servants came running and washed her dress down to reveal Daisy, her clothes turned to a darkened mess. She never left without her knight again.

Read the following passage from Bulfinch’s Mythology: The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent. Which synonym could best replace the word agile in this passage? slow clumsy energetic stiff
Answer: energetic
Explanation:
Agile means for someone to have the ability to move easily and be energetic. It means having an adaptable and resourceful character. The antonyms of agile are slow clumsy and stiff.
Therefore, the sentence "The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent" can be written as "The energetic youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent".
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:

Who does Shakespeare want us to sympathize with?
Answer:
I think Shakespeare creates sympathy for Caesar by reminding us his wife is barren, having us learn about his seizures, and showing us his reaction to Brutus's betrayal. Caesar is hardly a sympathetic character. In fact, Shakespeare goes out of his way to make him seem like an arrogant and thoroughly unlovable guy.

"Whatever you Think you Can do or Believe you Can do, Begin it. Action has Magic, Grace, and Power in it" what do it mean to you in 3 or more sentence
Answer: What this passage means to me is you can’t just Believe you can do something, you must try. With the actions you take to work towards something you believe you can do you learn and it pushes you to believe you can do more. I think if you believe you can do something and set a limit for it you’re only blocking yourself from believing you can do more taking action to do what you believe you can do will help you reach further and set limits almost impossible to reach but with action you can be one of the firsts to reach it.

PLSSSSSS ANSWER
Read the following lines from "Vincent van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist."
Every Sunday on his way to church, young Vincent would pass the headstone carved with the name he shared. Did he feel as if his dead brother were the rightful Vincent, the one who would remain perfect in his parents' hearts, and that he was merely an unsatisfactory replacement? That might have been one of the reasons he spent so much of his life feeling like a lonely outsider, as if he didn't fit anywhere in the world.
Why would the author share this in the very beginning?
The information is sensationalistic and will grab the attention of modern readers.
This information should be considered as the reader learns about van Gogh throughout his life.
Readers enjoy feeling sympathy for the characters they read about.
The author wanted to find a way for readers to like Vincent.
In my view other is a share this to very beginning to describe a life of Young Vincent he always fult that after is brother left thing can never go back on the way as there while before he feels that her brother was perfect and will always remain as a rightfull person in the hurt of his parents
he is feeling very depressed he does not now whether he is going on right path or not he feel like a person out of this world the author describes has feelings aslo as a lonely person people who experience life and death accident in there life change automatically........... the life of Young Vincent after changed his brother dies...

She had learned how to obey commands and focus on her work. Sam and Lucky had hardly spent a moment apart for the last sixteen months. Sam stroked Lucky’s back and hugged her. “Be a good girl, now, and remember everything I taught you. Someday, you’re going to take care of someone special who really needs you.” Lucky licked Sam’s hand as if to show that she understood and to say good-bye. Giving up Lucky would be tough, but Sam knew he was doing the right thing.

Can someone please help me write a story about an Unsolved mystery?
Answer:
A story about a girl's sister getting kidnapped, "They Got Her But Where?"
Explanation:
"Let's go Anya we're gonna be late for school!" Valarie yelled up the stairs. "I'm coming up and you better be ready-" Valarie said as she opened the door to her sister Anya. When she opened the door her sister was nowhere to be found. She searched the room frantically hoping Anya would just appear; but she didn't. As Valarie searched the room she saw that the open window had a bloody handprint on it. When she looked out of the window the grass and plants had been disturbed. Valarie couldn't stop shaking while she tried to call the police.
"911 what's your emergency?" the operator on the other line spoke.
"My sister is- she's- um-"- Valarie mustered while she cried at the thought of her sister being hurt and maybe even dead.
"Sweetie I need you to tell me what happened so I can help you." said the operator.
"My sister is um- she missing-" Valarie was cut off by a rush of tears pouring down her face.
"Do you know how long she's been gone?" asked the operator in a worried tone.
"I'm not sure. But I do know that there's blood. Please send someone."- Valarie managed.
"What's your address sweetie?" the 911 operator asked.
Valarie gave her the address and soon the officers were there. They proceded to ask her what happened and told her at the time that Anya could not be marked a missing person. They took her to the station and got Valarie's official statement. Valarie ended up in foster care because Anya was taking care of her after her parents dipped on the two randomly. 4 years pass and no one's seen or heard from Anya. Valarie just assumed that she was kidnapped and she never stopped looking for her. Though with the years passing she was scared she'd never get Anya back.
