A Flag with 50 Stars
The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.
In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.
The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change the grade to an A.
A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.
Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint toward Bob Heft in “A Flag with 50 Stars”?
Bob should not have contacted a member of Congress about a trivial matter.
Bob was not a very good student at Lancaster High School.
Bob should not have spent so much time on his project.
Bob's grade did not reflect the outcome of the story.
Answers
A) is incorrect, as the passage takes a generally positive attitude towards his success. There is no particular part of the passage that expresses negative sentiment towards his actions.
B) is incorrect, as the author does not mention anything about Bob's grades other than the passing mention of his less than satisfactory mark on the flag assignment. It is not the main focus of the passage.
C) is incorrect, as Bob's success gives justification for his long work time. In addition, the author does not make any sort of derogatory mark towards his efforts.
D) is correct. As Bob had received only a B for his hard efforts, yet his flag had actually been selected to represent the US in a real-life setting (proving the highest mark of distinction), the grade did not reflect the end of the story.
Answer:
Bob's grade did not reflect the outcome of the story.

I NEED A ESSAY ON HOW FINGERPRINTS CAN VARY/CHANGE.
Answers
Answer:
fingerprints do not change over time, but there is a catch: they do not change as we grow old, but they can be affected by certain external conditions. A person’s fingerprints usually form in the 17th week of pregnancy. These prints are set in stone before we are even born. As a person grows, the prints get bigger while retaining the same pattern. Essentially, the prints just scale up gradually. Although fingerprints do not change with age, it can be more difficult to capture them in older people. This is because the skin loses elasticity with age, and the patterns become less prominent, especially due to the thickening of ridges and furrows. Construction workers, especially bricklayers and people who often wash dishes by hand, lose some details in their fingerprints. Once they stop these activities, the ridges will grow back. People who work with chemicals such as calcium oxide can also lose some of the details in their fingerprints. However, once such activities are stopped, the worn-out patterns tend to grow back over time. In other words, even in such cases, the change in the appearance of fingerprints is only temporary. Certain skin diseases destroy the dermis and epidermis of the skin. Consequently, it becomes challenging for fingerprint recognition systems to recognize the prints of these individuals. Adermatoglyphia is a sporadic genetic disorder that causes a person to have no fingerprints. People with this disorder have completely smooth fingertips, palms, toes, and soles. In rare cases, cancer treatment can also cause you to lose your fingerprints. In 2008, a Singaporean man was detained at an airport for a routine fingerprint scan. However, it turned out that he had none. He was on chemotherapy to keep cancer in his head and neck in check. As it turns out, a drug called capecitabine had given him a moderate case of something known as hand-foot syndrome, which can cause swelling, pain, and peeling on the palms and soles of the feet – and apparently the loss of fingerprints.

Answers
Answer:
well it really depends on how you feel about gas prices. in my opinion, high gas prices are too over the top and too expensive to pay for. first off, it could be difficult for some people to pay for gas, when they are struggling with money.
the best thing to do is lower the gas prices so people can actually afford food and pay their bills. if they don't lower the gas prices, consider taking a bus, walking, getting a side job, or maybe even owning an electric car.
Explanation:
im so sorry if this doesnt help, but i wasnt sure on what to write because it doesnt give enough information.

- Less money to spend on other goods and services
- Inflation
- Potential recession
- Just generally being inconvenient for most of the working class
Counterclaim: High gas prices are good for the economy
** you already strengthened your first claim with all of the evidence above. Do not make this second claim stronger than the first, just refute your point

Read the paragraph below, look for the big idea.
Many flowers are what we call annuals. Their entire life cycle — from seed to death — takes just one year. They might leave behind sleeping seeds that could sprout again in the future, but the flowers, roots, stems and leaves all fade away as soon as the season is done. Sunflowers and petunias are examples of annuals. Some plants technically last a little longer, but not in a way humans can truly appreciate. Biennials take two years to start flowering instead of shooting up in a single spring. But they still wither and die once the flowers are gone. One to look for is a foxglove, a tall plant with clusters of bell-shaped blooms, often in pink or purple. Then there are perennials, which can survive for years. Scientists believe these types of plants came first.
What is the main idea the author is trying to make about plants?
Perennials are a special type of plant
Scientists think perennials are the first type of plant that existed.
Plants have different life cycles depending on the type of plant.

Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change.
Carlos glared at Stacey, handed back the hot dog, and walked away from her challenge to make a change. Eventually, Carlos's feet slowed, and he considered Stacey's words carefully. Perhaps he had been too careful because he was afraid; maybe he could try something new. Carlos returned to the stand and piled toppings on top of his hot dog. He discovered that he loves pickles, ketchup, and onions.
When Stacey and Carlos returned to the office, Carlos eyed his notepad thoughtfully. Perhaps it was time to add variety into his predictable routine. He opened the notepad to a fresh page and began to draw an office building that reached beyond the clouds.
Read the excerpt from the story Hide and Seek.
Raj immediately shook his head side to side, and his smile was replaced with a frown. The hills on Governors Island boasted four slides, one of which was 57 feet long, New York City's longest slide. The length didn't disturb Raj, but the slide was three stories tall, and he was petrified of heights, even if the slide did have the best views of the New York skyline. Maria was fearless and wanted to go on the slide more than anything in the world, mostly because she loved experiencing new adventures. Besides, she had played at least twenty rounds of hide and seek with him. Maybe it was time to try a new adventure.
Raj reluctantly nodded his head, and Maria squealed with delight. Grabbing Raj's hand, Maria headed toward the hills, which they climbed with care until they reached the summit. Raj looked down from the top of the slide, feeling absolutely terrified. Maria didn't hesitate for even a second. She slid down as soon as she reached the top, cheering with abandon, until she reached the bottom of the slide. He took a deep breath, slid down the slide, and began to scream gleefully, amazed at how much fun he was having. For the rest of the day, Raj climbed the hill and slid down each marvelous slide four times, enjoying the rush of excitement and unparalleled views of the New York skyline.

As in both texts, the characters learn about the importance of trying new things, but one character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example, i.e., option D.
What is in the excerpt Time for a Change?The exact meaning of Time for a Change is the things should be changed and it is sort of mandatory to be changed now.
Here, both the characters are changing their choices and overcoming their fear of trying something new.
The only difference between them is that one character follows someone's advice to try new things while the other character follows someone's example.
