More than a million people immigrate to the United States to start new lives every year, and if they
are arriving in New York, one of the first sights that they will see is the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of
Liberty stands on Liberty Island, near Manhattan in New York. Though she is often thought to be
resident of New York, Liberty Island is actually federal property, which means that the Statue of
Liberty belongs to the whole country. The Statue of Liberty is not only the tallest statue in America, it
is also one of the most recognizable American symbols.
The Statue of Liberty is huge. From the tip of the torch to the pedestal which is the base of the statue
on which she stands, she is just over 151 feet tall. If you include the pedestal in your measurement,
she stands more than 305 feet off of the ground. That’s more than 30 basketball hoops or an entire
football field. Her waist size is 35 feet, which would make it awfully tough to find pants, and the
tablet she holds is 23 feet long. Don’t worry though; she hasn’t had any trouble holding that tablet
yet with her 8 foot index finger.
Though America financed and built the pedestal on which the Statue of Liberty stands, the statue
itself was a gift from France. In this way the complete work, much like the United States, is a product
of both American and French contributions. At one time America was ruled by the British. The
founding fathers of America chose to fight against Great Britain for the independence of their
country. France supported America by providing money, men, and weapons of war. Had it not been
for French contributions during the Revolutionary War, America would not exist in the way that it
does today; therefore, it is quite fitting that the Statue of Liberty, which represents freedom, came to
being by a joint American and French effort. On October 28th, 1886, just over one-hundred years
after America declared its independence from Great Britain, the Statue of Liberty was completed and
dedicated by its designer, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.
Perhaps no person did more to bring the statue into being than Bartholdi. Not only did Bartholdi gain
both French and American approval for the project, he led the French fundraising efforts and
designed the appearance of the statue. The appearance of the Statue of Liberty is somewhat resulting
from Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. The torch represents how liberty enlightens the world.
The seven points or rays coming from the top of the crown represent the sun, the seven seas, the
seven continents, and (as with the torch) how liberty enlightens the world. Though much of the
statue was modeled after depictions of goddesses, Bartholdi modeled the face after his mother. Now
that’s a Mother’s Day gift that’s hard to top.
Though Bartholdi was responsible for the external appearance of statute, the internal design can be
largely credited to innovative designer, Gustave Eiffel. Though Mr. Eiffel is best known for his
contributions to a tower in Paris that is named after him, he also engineered the internal structure
that holds up the Statue of Liberty. Eiffel chose to use a flexible structure, so that changes in the
temperature and strong winds from the ocean would not cause the statue to crack. Because of Eiffel’s
crafty design, the Statue of Liberty may sway as much as three inches on a windy day. If the winds
exceed 50 miles per hour, the torch may sway five inches. Eiffel is also responsible for including two
spiraling staircases on the interior of the statue to help visitors reach the observation point in the
crown.
A.Answer the following questions:
1. Why is it significant that the Statue of Liberty is a product of both French and American efforts?
2. Eiffel chose to use a flexible structure. Explain.
3. The statue of liberty belongs to one state only. True or False. Support from the text.
4. Why does the Statue of Liberty look the way that she does?
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
B.Choose the correct answer:
6. Which is not represented by the seven points on the crown of the Statue of Liberty according to the
text?
a. The points represent how liberty enlightens the world.
b. The points represent the seven continents.
c. The points represent the sun.
d. The points represent the seven days of creation.
7. What is meant by pedestal?
a. The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island.
b. It is a federal property.
c. the statue itself was a gift from France.
d. the base on which the Statue of Liberty stands.
8. Which best expresses the main idea of the third paragraph?
a. France assisted the United States in the Revolutionary War.
b. The statue was a joint effort between France and the U.S. just like U.S. independence.
c. The U.S. was once a colony of Great Britain.
d. The statue of liberty was dedicated 100 years after America declared its independence.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has symbolized the freedom and the democracy of the United States. ... The Statue of Liberty was to be a joint effort between the United States and France. France would build and design the Statue and the United States would complete the pedestal that would hold Lady Liberty.

3.The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island, federal property administered by the National Park Service, located within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of New York.

4. The Statue of Liberty faces Southeast and was strategically placed inside of Fort Wood which was a perfect base for the Statue. The Statue's position was also perfect for ships, entering the harbor, to see her as a welcoming symbol.

5. B

6. The points represent the seven days of the creation.

7. As a symbol of solidarity between France and the United States, Bartholdi allowed an American to design the Statue of Liberty's pedestal, which newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer partially funded. The base or support on which a statue.

8. The statue was a joint effort between France and the U.S. just like U.S. independence.

Hope this helps <3

Answer 2

The enormous Statue of Liberty, designed by Bartholdi, is a symbol of freedom and was given to the United States as a gesture of affection by the people of France. Thus option B is correct.

What Bartholdi contributed to the statue?

The concept for the monument first emerged in 1865, but it wasn't until the Third French Republic was founded in 1870 that it was actually carried out. This was inspired by the American abolition of slavery.

While Americans gathered money for the pedestal, France would do the same for the statue. By showing the torch and arm in Philadelphia and New York, and the head and shoulders in Paris, all while selling miniatures and, in some cases, charging entry, Bartholdi participated in the fundraising efforts.

Therefore, He gained approval for the project from the U.S. and from France.

Answer:

"The thesis statement is a complex sentence that explains your main claim, and then follows with the arguments you will be presenting. Usually, you should start with your weakest argument and finish the paper with your strongest. Each argument should be a different paragraph or set of paragraphs and have clear breaks between sections."

-Has specific details about the topic

-And expresses the main idea of the paper

Example of a good and bad thesis:

Bad - Why are grades not good?

Good - Grades should not be important in school because they cause anxiety and unnecessary pressure on students.

Another Example:

Bad - Starbucks coffee is so much better than Java City coffee because it has more flavor, better quality, and more variety.

Good - Based on x statistic, more people prefer Starbucks coffee to Java City because of the flavors, quality and variety.

I was very sick one winter with flu. I had to stay inside all month long, and no one could come to visit me. I was so lonely and felt so sad, because I wished my friends would come over, so I know how August might have felt when everyone stayed away from him.

Julian was very cruel to August. Just because August looks different does not mean he does not have feelings. Julian should have ignored all the differences and tried harder to be nice to August. He could have given him a hug or high five.
August must have felt very sad to always be different. It is not his fault that he looks different, and his feelings were probably hurt when Julian jumped away from touching him.

What is a passage?

A passage can be described as a section of a paragraph, a section of a phrase, or it can also be referred to as a section of several paragraphs. In its simplest form, a passage is an excerpt from any literature that is used to support a claim made in the currently being developed text. As a result, you can use it as a brief excerpt from a longer work to draw attention to the subject at hand, serve as a diversion, or serve as evidence in support of a claim. The length of a passage varies depending on the context in which it is used as well as the purpose for which it is extracted. A passage can always change the setting in articles, essays, and compositions by adding richness, increasing the worth of the development, and also by making it appear comprehensive. As a result, a piece of writing without a passage or excerpt will always be uninteresting and appear unfinished.

explain in you own words how does anxiety and depression work​

Answers

Answer:

Anxiety disorders often go hand in hand with depression. People who have anxiety disorders struggle with intense and uncontrollable feelings of anxiety, fear, worry, and/or panic. These feelings can interfere with daily activities and may last for a long time.

Explanation:

Anxiety can trigger your flight-or-fight stress response and release a flood of chemicals and hormones, like adrenaline, into your system. In the short term, this increases your pulse and breathing rate, so your brain can get more oxygen. This prepares you to respond appropriately to an intense situation. Research suggests that depression doesn't spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems.
