I live in Russia! And I was given a task in English! Therefore, I appeal to the Americans, please help me answer the questions in the text it is very simple! Introduction to the USA Geography, Regions and Dialects The United States of America is the world's third largest country in size and nearly the third largest in terms of population. Colonies to States The birth of the US goes back to 1776, when 13 British colonies were established on the Atlantic coast. Today it is a federation that consists of fifty states, 48 of them on the mainland. The two last states to be included in 1959 were Alaska and Hawaii, both physically separate from the other states. In addition to the fifty states, the US also consists of Washington DC (District of Colombia), the free Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and some Pacific Islands, like Guam. The nation is huge, with enormous distances; it is the third largest country by size in the world (after Russia and Canada) and 30 times the size of Norway. If you were to drive a car the 4,500 km from the eastern to the western coast, it would take you five to six days. A coast-to-coast trip by train takes you three days. From Canada to Mexico it is 2,500 km. In comparison, the distance from Oslo to Paris is 1,600 km. The landscape, climate and topography can vary even within a short distance. In California, for instance, it does not take long to travel from sun and sea to mountains and snow or to the desert. The USA has approximately 304 million inhabitants, making its population the world’s third largest (after China and India). The US is also much more sparsely populated than Western Europe. Each American – in theory – has more space than people in Western Europe. Geographical Regions We can divide the nation into the following four main regions: the Northeast, the Midwest, the South and the West. There are great differences in size and population between the regions. Although Americans tend to relocate a lot, each region has its own distinct characteristics, especially when it comes to race and cultural background. We also see that people within a region share common values. They share concerns over economic questions, and they identify with the history and traditions of their region. Food is one example of such traditions. Local dishes may vary a lot, from the seafood dishes of coastal states like California, or the Creole dishes of New Orleans, to the piles of steaks devoured by meat-loving Texans. Dialects Vary Dialects also vary greatly. It is not difficult to recognize the difference between a man from the Northeast, for example a city like Boston, and an American from the Midwestern State of Kansas. In addition, the styles of speaking may be different. Farmers of New England are known for their short, concise sentences, and for being men and women of few words, while others, for example people from the South, often talk in a very slow manner. Considering the size of the USA, it is easy to understand that people from the Northeast feel closer to Europe than for example Texans might, both as far as news coverage and other forms of culture are concerned. Texans, on their part, have Mexico and other Latin American states as their closest neighbors, and are therefore more heavily influenced by Mexico and Mexican culture. Comprehension 1. How many British colonies were there in 1776? 2. How many states are there in the US? 3. What were the last two states to be added to the federation? 4. What is the difference between Washington DC and Washington? 5. How many times larger is the USA than Norway? 6. Approximately how many inhabitants are there in the USA? 7. What are the four main geographical regions called? 8. Give examples of how these regions are different.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. There were 13 British colonies in 1776.

2. There are 50 states in the US.

3. The last two states to be added to the federation were Alaska and Hawaii.

4. Washington D.C. is a federal district. Washington is a state.

5. The USA is 30 times larger than the size of Norway.

6. The USA has approximately 304 million inhabitants.

7. The four main regions of the US are the Midwest, the South, the Northeast, and the West.

8.

In the West, local dishes include seafood. In the South, local dishes include meat and Creole dishes. People from the south often talk in a slow manner. Texans are influenced by Mexican culture because they are neighbors. In the Midwest, the dialects are very different from persons in the Northeast. In the Northeast, people speak with short, concise sentences and are people of very few words.

Explain how the changes that were made in Glacier after "the night of the grizzlies" support the National Park Service's founding mission: to protect wild places and the creatures that live there.

Answers

Answer:

Find explanation below.

Explanation:

Following the killing of two visitors to the Glacier National park in August, 1967, an investigation was launched into the killing of the women, namely, Julie Helgeson and Michele Koons, by the bears. It was discovered that the main factor that triggered the bears into the killing was the garbage being dumped at the park. To correct this anomaly, an effort was launched by the Chief Ranger to collect and dispose all garbage in the park. An enormous amount of garbage was discarded. A pack in - pack out policy was also implemented which meant that anyone who brought in anything to the back country was expected to also take it out. These changes support the National Park Service's founding mission: to protect wild places and the creatures that live there, because,

1. By cleaning up the park of garbage, the park (wild places) was made safer for visitors.

2. The bears (creatures that live there) are protected from extinction or poaching while not allowing them to be detrimental to humans.

In at least one hundred words, discuss how the British used religion as one of their methods of colonizing Africa in Things Fall Apart. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Explanation:

In order for cultural change to take place, the colonizers must begin by introducing their religion. They attempt to allay fears by coming on a platform of peace, but their ultimate goal is to fundamentally change the beliefs of the tribe.

And at last the locusts did descend. They settled on every tree and on every blade of grass; they settled on the roofs and covered the bare ground.

While the quote is a symbolic representation, it accurately reflects the arrival of the intruders who have every intention to take over the Igbo by introducing monotheistic religion and undermining the things that had previously been valued. We see Okonkwo and his son torn apart because Okonkwo cannot accept that his son has forsaken his tribe for Christianity. The tribe is in trouble, and Okonkwo knows there is nothing he can do to stop the death of all he holds dear, as is reflected in the following passage:

The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.

Which of the following can convey setting in a story? Name of character The age of the character The culture of the character The thoughts of a character

Answers

Answer:

-The culture of the character

-The thoughts of a character

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Think about what setting means.

The setting is the time, place, and circumstances in which something occurs or develops.

So what out of the four choices helps do that?

The name of the character can't tell you about settings. Its a name not a descriptor. Ex: John.: That doesn't tell you as the reader anything about the time, place, or circumstances.

The age could possibly give you some context. But its can also just be a sentance. Ex: Daisy is 14.: you can get a little bit. But not enought in some circumstances. So for that i marked it as no.

I have found this question online. We are supposed to write "1" for First Conditional, "2" for Second Conditional, and "3" for Third Conditional.

Answer and Explanation:

The First Conditional uses a verb in the present tense or in the present continuous tense for the condition, and a future tense (will) for the consequence. For example: If you love me, you will marry me.

The Second Conditional uses a verb in the past tense for the condition, and the verb "would" plus a main verb for the consequence. "Would" is the past form of "will". For example: If I had a car, I would drive to the beach on weekends.

The Third Conditional uses a verb in the present perfect tense for the condition, and "would/could/might have" plus a past participle for the consequence. Example: If she had called me, I would have told her the truth.

Having the explanation above in mind, we can safely answer the question:

1. IF IT IS RAINING TOMORROW, I WILL BE AT HOME. --> 1

2. I WOULD BUY THIS CAR IF I HAD MONEY. --> 2

3. THEY WOULD GET A PROMOTION IF THEY WERE GOOD DOCTORS. ---> 2

4. I WOULD HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM IF I HAD HAD TIME. --> 3

5. I CAN LIVE THERE IF I GET A JOB THERE. --> 1

6. MY FRIEND COULD HAVE SEEN THE CAR IF HE HAD PAID ATTENTION. --> 3

7. I WILL CALL YOU IF I HAVE TIME. --> 1

8. I WOULD TELL THE TRUTH IF I KNEW IT. --> 2

9. IF I HAD BOUGHT THE HOUSE, WE COULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE NEW CAR. --> 3

10. SHE WILL TRAVEL IF SHE HAS MONEY. --> 1

Resistance to Civil Government, called Civil Disobedience for short, is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican–American War (1846–1848).

Which excerpt from Silent Spring best appeals to readers’ pathos? So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells, and built their barns. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and fall people traveled from great distances to observe them. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know.

Answer:

Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know.

Explanation:

Pathos is the quality that writers use to appeal to their reader's emotions and evoke a sense of sadness or sympathy. This communicative technique is used in the arts like literature and films to sway the emotional reaction of the readers or viewers.

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson is a book that deals with the issues of the environment. It soon became one of the most important books for the environmental movement and led to a greater awareness of how harmful pesticides are to the general public. In the given excerpt, the lines that appeals to the reader's pathos is where the writer she mentions how "every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere". She recalls the many disasters faced due to the use of these pesticides and how they are to become more and more dangerous. She then warns that this "grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know".

Dear Julius,

I am happy to write to you today. How are you and the family?

This year's Independence celebration is the best I have experienced all my life. My school is the best and they gave me the best independence day experience. Every student in my school already anticipated that day because the items of the programme and the rehearsals are already proofs that the day was going to be awesome. The day came and brought no disappointment. There were several activities such as matchpast, tributes to National heroes, choreographies, dramas, to mention but a few. I took a very honorable role of reading the country's post independence history to the congregation. I was very elated to stand in front of such an august gathering.

Several notable personalities graced the occasion with their presence, people like the commissioner for youths and sport, commissioner for information and culture etc.

The speeches of the day were delivered by the proprietor of the school, who is a wonderful orator, and the commissioner for information and culture from whom I heard great words about this country that I never heard in time past. I wish you were a student in my school, you would have been a part of this wonderful event. Nevertheless, I wish to hear back from you on how the independence celebration was done in your school too.

Have a great week ahead my good friend.

Your friend,

Chris.

Answer:

Hi Heesal,

As you already knew that my school just celebrated our Independence day 2020 yesterday. I can’t stand telling you about that. We’ve had a great morning doing many activities with all of our teachers and friends. First of all, we saluted the flag and sang our national anthem. We then raised and lowered the flag, performed one-minute silence, you know, to show the respect for our ancestors who sacrificed for our peace today. After that, our principal made an excellent speech reminding us about the history and encouraging us to study hard to be able to become well-mannered people and contribute to our society. Fortunately, yesterday was a sunny day, so we celebrated all activities in our school yard with a lot of green spaces. Our ceremony ended up with a musical performance. Can you guess who was the singer there? It’s me. I am so proud of me that I could sing in such an important event, it was a lovely song about our innocent adolescence. The school offered us elevenses with home-made cakes, so we could enjoy some sweets while talking to each other and listening to music. I was so satisfied being a part of the ceremony.  

That’s all about our Independence day. How about yours?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
