Your response should be at least three complete paragraphs.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Tajima was a samurai without a master (ronin) who loved traveling and on one of his travels, he met with a wandering priest and discovered they were going the same place and they began to discuss to make their journey smoother and before long they were talking about more intimate affairs.  

The priest tells the ronin Tajima about his desire to erect a monument for Buddha and how much he has gotten so far which was two hundred ounces of silver. Tajima immediately has it in his heart that he must have possession of that money.

During a boat ride, Tajima tripped the priest and he fell over and drowned.

Taking the priest's money, he took on a new name Tokubei and began trading with the money and soon amassed great wealth

Three years after, he began to be haunted by the ghost of the priest until he was thought to be mad.

It appeared that the priest did not die but survived and eventually raised the money for the bronze statue for Buddha. He forgave Tajima (now Tokubei) and was persuaded to take back the money Tokubei stole from him, with interest.

Explanation:

Solve:
7(x + 4)
(x - 6) 32[x - 3(x + 5)].​

Answers

Answer:

if each is a different equation then in the first one we will multiply 7 by x and 7 by 4 which is equal to 7x + 28

and the second will be x -6 since there isn't anything before it and then it will be x-6 +32 [x - 3x - 15] here it was -15 because 3 is negative and negative multiplies by positive is negative then the is x -6 + 32x - 96x - 480 then we organize them x+32x -96x -6 -480

. = -63x + 486

here it was positive 486 cause negative plus negative is positive

Explanation:

the equation will be

equation 1. 7(x+4)

7x + 28

equation 2. (x - 6) 32[x - 3(x + 5)].

x-6 + 32(x - 3x + 15)

x - 6 + 32x - 96x - 480

x + 32x - 96x -6 - 480

-63x + 486

I HAVE TO SUBMIT THIS IN 30 MINS!! HELP APPRECIATED Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery. Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage? A) Economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement. B) The growing demand for sugar made the lives of enslaved people even worse. C) Turning Africans into objects was important for the sugar industry to succeed. D) Monarchies became increasingly strong and popular during the Age of Sugar.

Explanation:

Since the second sentence is not past tense (It will look very nice when it’s finished.) the answer is "have been painting". Another reason that it's this answer is that the first word in the first sentence is "Lately". Had it been any other answer it would've sounded silly.

Rewrite the sentences, using verbal phrases in place of the italicized words.
I know that I can do better. This knowledge will help me persist.​

Answers

Answer:

Knowing that I can do better will help me persist.

Explanation:

Verbals are described as the derivative of a verb that functions as a noun or modifier in the sentence. It primarily includes participles(verbals that function as adjectives in the sentence), gerunds(verbals which function as nouns in the sentence), and infinitives(the verbals functioning as adverbs, nouns, or adjectives with 'to'). Thus, verbal phrases are described as the phrases that consist of a verbal plus any modifier or objects.

The given sentences can be rewritten using the verbal phrase('knowing that')  as it consists of a verbal 'knowing' plus modifier 'that'. Here, 'knowing that' is the participle phrase and it is functioning as an adjective in the sentence. Thus, this verbal phrase helps in connecting the two ideas together in a coherent manner.

Read the paragraph.

Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage. Just about the time that I am going along pretty well, I glance out the window and see two huge bald eagles swooping and tumbling in a spectacular aerial display. Naturally, I have to leave my desk and rush to the doorway to watch the performance as long as it lasts. Then, as if a conspiracy were trying to keep me from working, two otters poke their shiny heads out of the water and hang there motionless. They watch to see what I am doing. As soon as I return to my desk, seagulls wheel into my window view and screech as they search for scraps of food. Within minutes, this confusion of sounds stirs my aging St. Bernard out of a deep sleep, and he hauls his massive, lumbering body over to be petted. Mickey, my cat, can't stand to see any partiality, so he is soon pacing back and forth across my ankles. As I wiggle my bare toes to tease Mickey, I realize that my legs have become stiff. I remember that I have not had my daily ride. So, I slip on my sandals, step out the door, spring onto my bike, and pedal off down the beach. Meanwhile, the composition in my typewriter sits and grows colder.

The St. Bernard dog approaching to be petted interrupts the narrator 4. The stiffness in the legs of the narrator makes the narrator go for a ride.

Explanation:

In a paragraph, the topic sentence summarizes the general idea or point of the paragraph.

Besides this, topic sentence are supported and explained through supporting details, which includes reasons, examples, evidence, etc.

In this context, supporting details include all reasons or situation that stops the narrator from focusing on writing. This means the supporting details include 1. the eagles flying outside as this causes the narrator "to leave my desk and rush to the doorway"; 2. the seagulls in the window because this causes a "confusion of sounds" that distracts the narrator; 3. the dog looking for attention in the narrator because this also, disrupts the process of writing, and 4. the stiffness in the legs of the narrator because this makes the narrator "spring onto my bike, and pedal off down the beach".

What is an eye rhyme?
