It is hard for scientists to know how many West Indian manatees there are. They estimate between 2,000 to 5,000. The West Indian manatee has been listed as an endangered species. This means that the population is so low that the West Indian manatee is in danger of becoming extinct. Many die because of accidents with ships or other human causes, such as pollution. Federal and state laws protect the manatee. Scientists are working to find ways to help the manatee survive.

A. Riding bicycles offered more than just freedom of movement.

B. Riding bicycles was a simple way to participate in a political movement.

C. Riding bicycles changed women’s fashion.

D. Riding bicycles was a popular subject in magazines

Pg 6-7

Some stated the liberating effects of the bicycle with less sarcasm. “The bicycle has brought to women a healthful, wholesome means of securing a degree of freedom and independence that no amount of discussion regarding ‘women’s rights’ would ever have produced,” wrote the L.A.W. Bulletin and Good Roads magazine in 1898. Meanwhile, Munsey’s Magazine assessed the impact of the wheel on women in a special bicycle-themed issue. “If she has ridden her bicycle into new fields, becoming in the process a new creature, it has been gradually and unconsciously,” the editors wrote.

“She did not have to be born again in some mysterious fashion, becoming a strange creature, a ‘new woman.’ She is more like the ‘eternal feminine,’ who has taken on wings, and who is using them with an ever increasing delight in her new power.”Indeed, many bicycle companies at home and abroad did put wings on the women in their advertisements, emphasizing that they had taken flight.

The Mojave is home to the largest solar power installation in the world.

A. finding out the best place to build a solar power plant.
B. finding out the government's opinion of solar power.
C. visiting the solar power installation in the Mojave Desert.

Read the sentence from the introduction [paragraphs 1-7].
Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for most patients with smell and taste disorders. Additionally, many patients find it impossible to even be properly diagnosed. People with smelling and tasting handicaps rarely receive enough support to help with their quality of life.
Which paragraph from the section "Mirrors can change smells" helps explain what word "effective" is referring to?

A mirror will not alter a smell.


It is true, however, that mirror image molecules can have very different smells. Mirror image molecules are called stereoisomers, but they are not exact copies (think of the relationship between your right and left hands).

Two stereoisomers that with very different aromas are L-carvone and D-carvone. L'carvone smells like spearmint, and D-carvone smells like the spice cumin.

There is much more to learn and discover about the biology and chemistry of taste and smell. Those of us who study the chemical senses hope that our research will lead to tastier and healthier food, reduce the spread of insect-borne disease, improve the lives of people with smell or taste disorders and create a better understanding of the importance of smell and taste.

Topic: Curfews
Question: Should cities impose a teen curfew law?
Prompt: You will organize an argument in favor of teen curfew laws.

(A curfew is a regulation requiring a person to be home at a certain prescribed time, as imposed by a parent on a child.)

____________________________________

Evidence 1

Positive Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

Three months after introducing curfew laws, the Dallas Police Department conducted a study to determine whether curfew laws decreased teen violence. The department found that juvenile crime during curfew hours dropped by 17.7 percent. Also, arrests during curfew hours decreased by 14.6 percent. These initial findings show that curfew laws have reduced juvenile crime and victimization.

—U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention

____________________________________
Evidence 2

Positive Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

The developing brain of a teenager needs between nine and ten hours of sleep every night. Regularly not getting enough sleep (chronic sleep deprivation) reduces success in school. Sleep deprivation can increase emotional problems such as depression. It is suggested that teenagers avoid going out late and that they establish a regular, early bedtime. Curfew laws would force teens to come home earlier and get the sleep they need.

THIS IS OFF-TOPIC BUT LIKE

I watched an add, it still didn't work-

I need help writing a two paragraphs assertion about a blind man from the passage the down below.

He was plainly blind, for he tapped before him with a stick, and wore a great green shade
over his eyes and nose; and he was hunched, as if with age or weakness, and wore a huge old
tattered sea-cloak with a hood, that made him appear positively deformed. I never saw in my life
a more dreadful-looking figure. He stopped a little from the inn, and, raising his voice in an odd
sing-song, addressed the air in front of him: –

“Will any kind friend inform a poor blind man, who has lost the precious sight of his eyes
in the gracious defence of his native country, England, and God bless King George! – where or in what part of this country he may now be?”

“You are at the ‘Admiral Benbow,’ Black Hill Cove, my good man,” said I.
“I hear a voice,” said he – “a young voice. Will you give me your hand, my kind young
friend, and lead me in?”
I held out my hand, and the horrible, soft-spoken, eyeless creature gripped it in a moment
like a vice. I was so much startled that I struggled to withdraw; but the blind man pulled me close
up to him with a single action of his arm.
“Now, boy,” he said, “take me in to the captain.”
“Sir,” said I, “upon my word I dare not.”

“Oh,” he sneered, “that’s it! Take me in straight, or I’ll break your arm.”
And he gave it, as he spoke, a wrench that made me cry out.
“Sir,” said I, “it is for yourself I mean. The captain is not what he used to be. He sits with a
drawn cutlass. Another gentleman – ”
“Come, now, march,” interrupted he; and I never heard a voice so cruel, and cold, and
ugly as that blind man’s. It cowed me more than the pain; and I began to obey him at once,
walking straight in at the door and towards the parlour, where our sick old buccaneer was sitting,
dazed with rum. The blind man clung close to me, holding me in one iron fist, and leaning almost
more of his weight on me than I could carry. “Lead me straight up to him, and when I’m in view,
cry out, ‘Here’s a friend for you, Bill.’ If you don’t, I’ll do this;” and with that he gave me a twitch
that I thought would have made me faint. Between this and that, I was so utterly terrified of the
blind beggar that I forgot my terror of the captain, and as I opened the parlour door, cried out
the words he had ordered in a trembling voice.
The poor captain raised his eyes, and at one look the rum went out of him, and left him
staring sober. The expression of his face was not so much of terror as of mortal sickness. He
made a movement to rise, but I do not believe he had enough force left in his body.
“Now, Bill, sit where you are,” said the beggar. “If I can’t see, I can hear a finger stirring.
Business is business. Hold out your right hand. Boy, take his right hand by the wrist, and bring it
near to my right.”
We both obeyed him to the letter, and I saw him pass something from the hollow of the
hand that held his stick into the palm of the captain’s, which closed upon it instantly.
“And now that’s done,” said the blind man; and at the words he suddenly left hold of me,
and, with incredible accuracy and nimbleness, skipped out of the parlour and into the road,
where, as I still stood motionless, I could hear his stick go tap-tap-tapping into the distance.
It was some time before either I or the captain seemed to gather our senses; but at
length, and about at the same moment, I released his wrist, which I was still holding, and he
drew in his hand and looked sharply into the palm.
“Ten o’clock!’ he cried. “Six hours. We’ll do them yet”; and he sprang to his feet.
Even as he did so, he reeled, put his hand to his throat, stood swaying for a moment, and
then, with a peculiar sound, fell from his whole height face foremost to the floor.
I ran to him at once, calling to my mother. But haste was all in vain. The captain had been
struck dead by thundering apoplexy.

Sure. That's the kind of thing – like sun spots. They raise cane with radio reception all over the world. And this thing being so close – why there's no telling the sort of stuff it can do.

Go ahead, Charlie. You and Steve go into town and see if that isn't what's causing it all.

What do the stage directions tell the reader about Don’s feelings?

He feels threatened by Steve and Charlie.
He may be more worried about the flash than he is admitting.
He is confident about the cause of the power outage.
He knows that Tommy is right but is keeping his feelings a secret.
