A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned. "We want to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't. And the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted to do. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. And he sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus." The president wasn't touched—he was shocked. "Madam," he said gruffly, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly, "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
And the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. The President's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. And Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

Read the following passage from Bulfinch’s Mythology: The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent. Which synonym could best replace the word agile in this passage? slow clumsy energetic stiff
Answer: energetic
Explanation:
Agile means for someone to have the ability to move easily and be energetic. It means having an adaptable and resourceful character. The antonyms of agile are slow clumsy and stiff.
Therefore, the sentence "The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent" can be written as "The energetic youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent".
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:
energetic (:

Once upon a time there was a boy named Ted who used to visit farmhouse on every Sunday with his grandpa . One day his grandpa got ill he was not able to visit with him . Ted was sad that today he would nt be able to visit farmhouse so he just went and sat in the corner near his grandpa, after sometime his grandpa said him that he must visit there alone but he should return home before 7 pm .He got excited , he just went there nd while coming home it was too late him to come .While travelling he just met with an accident nd after it he was just feared of everything so he decided that he would never go there again

Hey guys, i need some help here, In at least 150 words, discuss the civil rights movement in America as described in Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
Answer: In Letter from Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. describes the American civil rights struggle. Explanation: Martin Luther King Jr. describes the Civil Rights Movement as a battle to reclaim what God has given them but which the white people have taken away.
Explanation:
knowledge!
Answer:
Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is the most important written document of the civil rights era. The letter served as a tangible, reproducible account of the long road to freedom in a movement that was largely centered around actions and spoken words. Birmingham was addressed to have so many violent protests because of the fact that it is the most segregated city in the nation. MLK addresses that if there is no social justice in that city, there won't be social justice in any city.
hope this helps

"Whatever you Think you Can do or Believe you Can do, Begin it. Action has Magic, Grace, and Power in it" what do it mean to you in 3 or more sentence
Answer: What this passage means to me is you can’t just Believe you can do something, you must try. With the actions you take to work towards something you believe you can do you learn and it pushes you to believe you can do more. I think if you believe you can do something and set a limit for it you’re only blocking yourself from believing you can do more taking action to do what you believe you can do will help you reach further and set limits almost impossible to reach but with action you can be one of the firsts to reach it.

Read the following lines from "Vincent van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist."
Every Sunday on his way to church, young Vincent would pass the headstone carved with the name he shared. Did he feel as if his dead brother were the rightful Vincent, the one who would remain perfect in his parents' hearts, and that he was merely an unsatisfactory replacement? That might have been one of the reasons he spent so much of his life feeling like a lonely outsider, as if he didn't fit anywhere in the world.
Why would the author share this in the very beginning?
The information is sensationalistic and will grab the attention of modern readers.
This information should be considered as the reader learns about van Gogh throughout his life.
Readers enjoy feeling sympathy for the characters they read about.

Sir,
VIOLATION OF CORONA VIRUS PROTOCOLS IN ABA
I write to inform you about the regrettable and unfortunate spate of violation of cororna virus protocols in Aba and environs.
Many residents of Aba and environs neither use face masks nor do they observe the social distance as required by the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC). Not many people still use hand sanitizers and hand washing is almost forgotten even amidst the second wave of the pandemic.
I believe your media agency has a role to play in the enlightenment of the general public about the importance of observing these protocols to forestall the possibility of another total lock-down as the virus continues to spread.
I believe that your media agency will take the necessary steps in this regard.

Reread these two quotations about creativity. You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. -- Maya Angelou We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down. ― Kurt Vonnegut Which statement is best supported by these quotations?
This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. They are the following:
1. Creativity is limitless and never-ending.
2. Only those who take risks can be creative.
3. In order to be creative, you must be reckless.
4. There is a time limit on our creativity.
Answer:
The statement which is best supported by the quotations is:
1. Creativity is limitless and never-ending.
Explanation:
Both Maya Angelou and Kurt Vonnegut were famous authors. Angelou was a civil-rights activist and poet born in Missouri in 1928. Vonnegut was born in Indiana in 1922, and his stories famously used satire and postmodern elements.
Even though the two quotes sound very different, they are both describing creativity as limitless. Angelou says it in a more direct way: the more we use creativity, the more we have it. It is never-ending. Vonnegut, on the other hand, uses a metaphor to say the same thing. If creativity is like jumping off a cliff, we must keep on doing it over and over again. Creativity is not something you use or do only once. It is continuous. For those reasons, the best option seems to be number 1. Creativity is limitless and never-ending.
NOTE: The question asks for only one statement. However, in case more than one option can be chosen, number 2 could also be checked.
In the article, Chicago is described as being “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” with other cities moving quickly to catch up.
How do the following sentences conflict with this point of view?
“Those 500 green roofs represent a little less than one-tenth of 1 percent of Chicago’s…buildings. By comparison, experts in Germany said that in 2010, 15-20 percent of the flat roofs in that country were green.”
How do these sentences compare to the overall tone of the articles? How does it impact the mood?
Answer:
The tone of the article is contradicting
Explanation:
The tone of the article is contradicting as it clearly states that on one hand it is claimed that Chicago will be the forefront of the green roof movement while on the other hand it shows the existing scenario in Chicago as per which only one tenth of the 1% of the Chicago's building have green roof.

In the following lines, what is Claudius confessing to? Why is this important for the audience to know? O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven It hath the primal eldest curse upon’t. A brother’s murder.
Answer:
Claudius is confessing to have killed his own brother.
Explanation:
The excerpt presented in the question above is an excerpt from "Hamlet," a play written by Shakespeare. In this play, King Hamlet, is assassinated by Claudius, his biological brother who usurps the throne, becoming the new king. The plot continues with the life of Prince Hamlet, who tries to find out who murdered his father, so that he can take revenge.
Even before this revenge takes place, Claudius is already suffering psychologically for the murder he committed, realizing that this made him a most horrendous sinner, as you can see in the excerpt presented above, where he confesses that he killed King Hamlet.
In your opinion, what makes literature “good” or “bad”? How comfortable are you in determining the quality of literature?
Answer:
Explanation:
Literature is good if you can relate to it and it makes you reflect on different aspects of your life, or connections can be made. Literature is bad is you cannot make any connections to it or you cannot understand it. Great literature is based on ideas that are startling, unexpected, unusual, weighty. or new. Great literature makes us see or think things we never did before.

1 point Great Britain tried to trade western Virginia to France for Montreal Great Britain tried to sell to France territory conquered during the war Great Britain forced new taxes on American colonists to pay for war debts Great Britain forced American colonists to migrate across the Appalachians.
Answer:
Among the sentences presented above, the one that presents a true event is:
Great Britain forced new taxes on American colonists to pay for war debts
Explanation:
Although England won the war against France, the costs of the battles were very high, which left England very indebted and in economic trouble. England also needed money to defend and protect the territories it conquered when it defeated France. All this considerably increased the amount of money that England needed and to be able to meet this economic need, England forced new taxes on American colonists, among these taxes we can mention the Stamp Act that came into force in 1765.
it is an idea or statement which only comes from someone's feelings
Answer:
an opinion.
Explanation:
An author's opinion can be defined as the ideas, perception or viewpoint representing and describing what an author think or feel about a topic, subject, issue etc.
For instance, an audience is informed through an author's use of symbols for a particular topic, subject or issues. Since these informations are an expression of an author's opinion, they may not be factual and as such are subject to verification and tests.
Hence, an opinion is an idea or statement which only comes from someone's feelings.
On the other hand, a fact can be defined as an evidential information provided about a specific topic, event or subject matter in its actual and true conditions. Thus, a fact clearly and concisely presents the fundamental reality of a subject based on an empirical study and/or objective consensus.
Which of the below sentences is punctuated correctly? I wouldn't eat those cabbages if I were you. I wouldn't eat those cabbages, if I were you.
Answer:
The sentence that is punctuated correctly is:
1. I wouldn't eat those cabbages if I were you.
Explanation:
We may be tempted to add a comma when we see "if" in a sentence, but we must think twice before we do. We will only need that comma if the clause that contains the "if" is the first one. For example:
- If you see her, tell her to call me.
However, when the if-clause is the second one, there is not need for the comma at all:
- Tell her to call me if you see her.
With that in mind, we can choose the first option as the correct one:
1. I wouldn't eat those cabbages if I were you.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. What inference can you make from the comparison of lines two and five? A) Love will ensure that God is in your heart. B) Love is a valued possession for those worthy of love. C) You will be the guide if your life is filled with love. D) With love, you are not in charge; you cannot own or lead it.
Answer:
The inference you can make from the comparison of lines two and five is:
D) With love, you are not in charge; you cannot own or lead it.
Explanation:
The lines we are analyzing here were taken from the poem "On Love" by Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American poet and essayist.
According to the lines, we cannot possess love. Love is not only independent, but it also the one in charge. Once we find love, it commands our lives instead of being commanded by us. With that in mind, we can easily choose letter D as the correct option: With love, you are not in charge; you cannot own or lead it.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
With love, you are not in charge; you cannot own or lead it.
