One of America's most famous writers, Henry David Thoreau once said “It 's not what you look at that matters, it 's what you see.” What do you think he meant? Is it about perspective? Imagination?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

He meant that what do you take in from looking at something. So if you are absently watching a tree and don't do anything else, you might miss the fact that the leaves are moving with the wind, but they are held fast by the connection they make with the branch that holds them.

Think carefully about what that actually means. When fall comes, the branch lets go and the leaves float to the ground.

Even if you think there is a temperature mechanism that loosens the hold the branch has on the leaves, Someone or Something put it there so it could happen.

You excuse me if I let my religion show somewhat. I do think it is some sort of miracle that lets something like that happens. And Thoreau wouldn't disagree. Those Transcendental writers (like Thoreau) all saw miracles in the ordinary.

We heard rumors about the disappearance of the Delacroix brothers, but we always thought they were unreliable.

We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared.

No change

Answers

Answer:

The best choice is:

We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared.

Explanation:

We need to find a way to eliminate ambiguity in the sentence. In this case, ambiguity is being caused by an issue with the antecedent of the pronoun "they". In "We heard rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared, but they were unreliable," "they" may refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". Even though we can assume the pronoun refers to "rumors", because of the word "unreliable" that follows it, the ambiguity is still there.

In " We heard rumors about the disappearance of the Delacroix brothers, but we always thought they were unreliable," the revision made does not change anything. "They" can still refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". We can eliminate this option.

However, in "We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared," we no longer have any ambiguity. The pronoun "they" is not used anymore, and the adjective "unreliable" is placed right before "rumors", which makes its meaning clear. Thus, we can choose this option as the best one.

Which point does the author of "The Acorn Woodpecker"make?

A.the acorn woodpecker sometimes acts in a silly way.

B.No other type of bird makes a granary.

C.Other birds regularly steal from acorn woodpeckers.

D.The acorn woodpeckers is not like many other birds.​

Answers

Answer: D. The acorn woodpeckers is not like many other birds.​

Explanation:

Storing food for reuse for another time is not a normal thing to see in the bird kingdom so the Acorn Woodpeckers are very interesting. Not only do they store the food, they create the storage and then protect it against other birds as well.

In going into detail about how the Acorn woodpeckers go about their feeding and storage, the author is trying to make a point that they are unique and not like many other birds as this is not normally something that we would see birds doing.

'To Kill A Mockingbird' Ch.2 Summary

Answer: September arrives, and Dill leaves Maycomb to return to the town of Meridian. Scout, meanwhile, prepares to go to school for the first time, an event that she has been eagerly anticipating. Once she is finally at school, however, she finds that her teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher, deals poorly with children. When Miss Caroline concludes that Atticus must have taught Scout to read, she becomes very displeased and makes Scout feel guilty for being educated. At recess, Scout complains to Jem, but Jem says that Miss Caroline is just trying out a new method of teaching.

Miss Caroline and Scout get along badly in the afternoon as well. Walter Cunningham, a boy in Scout’s class, has not brought a lunch. Miss Caroline offers him a quarter to buy lunch, telling him that he can pay her back tomorrow. Walter’s family is large and poor—so poor that they pay Atticus with hickory nuts, turnip greens, or other goods when they need legal help—and Walter will never be able to pay the teacher back or bring a lunch to school. When Scout attempts to explain these circumstances, however, Miss Caroline fails to understand and grows so frustrated that she slaps Scout’s hand with a ruler.
