(from "The Eclipse," by James Fenimore Cooper, 1836)

The eclipse of the sun, which you have requested me to describe, occurred in the summer of 1806, on Monday, the 16th of June. Its greatest depth of shadow fell upon the American continent, somewhere about the latitude of 42 deg. I was then on a visit to my parents, at the home of my family, among the Highlands of Otsego, in that part of the country where the eclipse was most impressive. My recollections of the great event, and the incidents of the day, are as vivid as if they had occurred but yesterday.

Which is most likely to happen next?

The author will describe his interesting birth.
The author will tell the story of the eclipse.
The author will explain why an eclipse happens.
The author will ask how the other person is doing.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The author will tell the story of the eclipse.

Explanation:

After the author has provided the background surrounding the occurrence of the eclipse it is expected that he will now go into the details of the eclipse and the events that accompanied it. When writers write texts, they first whet the appetite and interest of the reader about a particular event before going into extensive details of the text.

This is what the writer does in this text by first informing the reader of the day the event occurred and how he moved to his parent's house where there was a clearer picture of the eclipse. After this introduction, he will tell the story of the eclipse.

Answers

Answer:

Established couples need to make decisions in numerous aspects of their lives together, and each of these domains has its own power structure. After surveying about 100 individuals, a few decision domains emerged as important for most couples. These included: How couples spend time together; how they demonstrate affection; how much time they spend together; managing interactions with family and friends; making future plans about careers or moving; religion or value decisions; finances; and household tasks. (For couples with children, childrearing was another important decision domain.)

Refer to one or more details from the text to explain both the suspected and the true causes of yellow fever. Why was Benjamin Rush suspicious of the suspected cause?

Answers

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer:

Following the humoral theory, the suspected cause pointed out by Dr. Hodge was the smell of rotting coffee. This theory made sense to Dr. Rush and Dr. Foulke. However, Dr. Rush remembered the same symptoms from when yellow fever had swept through Philadelphia in 1762, which led him to believe that was the illness the patients were suffering.  

Explanation:

In the second chapter of "An American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793", called "All was not right," Jim Murphy describes the process that took Dr. Rush to diagnose that it was yellow fever what was making people ill.

It must have been the cow bell that woke me. I rubbed my eyes, sat up, and in a dazed bewildered way, looked around. It was broad daylight—yes, the sun was at least an hour high. Some robins were singing in the trees by the roadside; a quail was whistling his bob-white from the topmost rail of the fence; and, at no great distance, hens were cackling, roosters crowing, ducks quacking. The air was filled with the merry sounds of the morning.There was something familiar in the appearance of the landscape; it seemed as if I had been on that very spot at some previous time; and yet there was a strangeness about everything which perplexed me not a little.

Why helping friends isn't always good ​

Answers

Answer:

Helping friends isn't always a good thing. While it is an important part of being a good friend, sometimes it is best to leave certain situations alone. Maybe your friend is going through an emotional crisis. Maybe you youself aren't emotionally or mentally strong enough to handle soemthing like that. You could become toxic to your friend causing more situations. It could even cause you to become more sad because you are around a tough situation. Sometimes your friend may even be an independant person and doesn't want any help, so it is good to give the person the space they need and help if they want you too.

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A GRADE 6 RESPONSE TO THIS!!

Answers

Answer:

Those people who protest against cruelty are specifically arguing against cruelty, not containment. They don`t like the fact that some animals are being mistreated and/or hurt by their owners. This doesn`t mean they can`t eat meat or have pets, it just means that they fight for treating animals like humans, and providing them with the same rights to a comfortable home and medication.

Answer:

Keeping animals in captivity can prevent their extinction. Zoos, aquariums, water parks, and other facilities can help to maintain the viability of endangered species when humanity does not do a good enough job of protecting the animals in the wild.

When you say that people protest about the cruelty of keeping animals in captivity but they still eat meat and visit zoos, it is the same as saying that people love animals as pets but keep eating animals. Nevertheless, I understand that stopping eating meat is a personal decision and not everyone wants to do it. However, I think it is hypocrites, but I also think that judging people who "loves animals but still eats meat" is not the way. We, as people who love animals, should encourage everyone to stop eating meat at least a few times a week and share the benefits of it. Judging just sends the wrong message.

Pahom was ambitious. But, his ambition had lead him to his ruin. It is said that only ambitious people become successful. Infer the statement with reference to Pahom’s life In ''How Much Land Does A Man Need''.

Answers

Answer:

Pahom's ambition for land led to his death, but the only land he needed was the one he was buried in. This can be used to infer the claim that ambition leads to ruin.

Explanation:

"How Much Land Does A Man Need" was written by Leo Tolstoy and tells the story of Pahom, a peasant who had little land and many debts to pay, as well as having little money. He would very much like to own more land and one day he said "if I had plenty of land, I should not fear the Devil himself!"

The devil heard this and accepted the challenge, allowing Pahom to have access to unimaginable amounts of land. This allowed him to work hard and have enough money for everything, including buying more land. However, Pahom became a greedy and aggressive man who only cared about getting more wealth. One day, he walked many kilometers in the sun to be able to buy more land. However, prolonged exposure to the sun caused him to die. After he died, all Pahom's wealth became obsolete and the only land he needed was the one in which he was buried.
