Read the excerpt from "The Discovery of Oz, the Terrible." "I thought Oz was a great Head," said Dorothy. . . . "No. . ." said the little man meekly. "I have been making believe." "Making believe!" cried Dorothy. "Are you not a Great Wizard?" "Hush, my dear," he said. "Don't speak so loud, or you will be overheard--and I should be ruined. I'm supposed to be a Great Wizard." "And aren't you?" she asked. "Not a bit of it, my dear; I'm just a common man." "You're more than that," said the Scarecrow, in a [sad] tone; "you're a humbug." "Exactly so!" declared the little man, rubbing his hands together as if it pleased him. "I am a humbug." "But this is terrible," said the Tin Woodman. . . . What theme does the excerpt support?

argumentative essay about increasing teachers pay i need alot of help ​​

Answers

Answer:

                                   Solution Proposal

    Solution Proposal New Mexico came in at position 49 in a ranking by a national review for educational quality which measures aspects like high school graduation rates, advanced placement exam results, school finances and pre-K enrollment. New Mexico came just ahead of Mississippi and Nevada overall (Education Week Magazine, 2017).  This ranking shows the poor state of education in New Mexico.  Similarly, in the 2017 college and career metric New Mexico came in last.  College and career metric reviews factors such as poverty levels of a family, education of a parent, kindergarten enrollment, and steady employment (Education Week Magazine, 2017).  The poor state of education in the country is because of a lack of policies that would otherwise improve the education quality in the country.  New Mexico Legislature should, therefore, come up with strategies such as a sliding pay scale for teachers pay that would improve education quality and ensure there is enough funding for the implementation of these policies.

 

    There have been solutions previously suggested by some state leaders. In 2011, Ms. Skandera, the state’s education secretary-designate rolled out an aggressive teacher evaluation system devised to improve student achievement (Education Week Magazine, 2017). However, educators maintained that MS Skandera had shunned other valid ways to judge teachers. The New Mexico teachers resisted the new plan for evaluation.  Educators suggested that MS. Skandera should have given more weight to classroom observations and to stop the idea of starting the assessments gradually.  Furthermore, the state rolled out Principals Pursuing Excellence and Teachers Pursuing Excellence programs, with the aim to mentor educators to increase reading and math proficiency rates among the students.

What is most likely the reason the writer uses a
problem-solution text structure in this excerpt?
Read this excerpt from "A Student's Guide to Global
Climate Change."
Climate change could make it too hot to grow
certain crops, and droughts caused by climate
change could reduce the amount of water available
for irrigation. Climate change is also likely to cause
stronger storms and more floods, which can
damage crops. Higher temperatures and changing
rainfall patterns could help some kinds of weeds and
pests to spread to new areas. If the global
temperature rises an additional 3.6°F, US corn
production is expected to decrease by 10 to 30
percent.
What can people do about it?
Farmers may be able to prepare for climate change
by planting crops during different times of the year,
or by planting crops that can survive better in hot
and dry conditions,
o to show how much corn yield will decrease if
temperatures rise by 3.6°F
O to inform people of the risks presented to farming
by climate change
O to let people know about the link between climate
change and food shortages
O to propose changes in farming that temperature
increases make necessary

Answers

Answer:

D. To promote changes in farming that temperature increases make necessary

Explanation:

According to this excerpt from "A Student's Guide to Global Climate Change.", the author talks about how climate change can affect the growth of crops, as of he climate is too hot, it can scorch the crops and make them difficult to survive and if it rains much, can cause flooding and destroy crops. Therefore, he uses a problem-solution text to show that there are alternatives to make in case of any climate change.

Therefore, the most likely reason the writer uses a problem-solution text structure in this excerpt is to promote changes in farming that temperature increases make necessary

Metamorphosis

by Frank Kafka

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armor-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.

“What’s happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream.

Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before.

There was a cautious knock at the door near his head. “Gregor,” somebody called—it was his mother—“it’s quarter to seven. Didn’t you want to go somewhere?” Gregor was shocked when he heard his own voice answering, it could hardly be recognized as the voice he had had before. As if from deep inside him, there was a painful and uncontrollable squeaking mixed in with it, the words could be made out at first but then there was a sort of echo which made them unclear. Gregor had wanted to give a full answer and explain everything, but in the circumstances contented himself with saying: “Yes, mother, yes, thank-you, I’m getting up now.”

Review the excerpt from the story “Metamorphosis” and answer the question below:

Gregor wakes up to find himself transformed. Do you think this was a dream or not? In two to three sentences, explain your answer. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.

Odysseus weeps for his wife and son while imprisoned on Ogygia.
Odysseus keeps his focus on getting back to Ithaca.
After escaping, Odysseus continues to taunt Polyphemus and brags about his exploits.

Answers

Answer:

After escaping, Odysseus continues to taunt Polyphemus and brags about his exploits.

Explanation:

The term "hubris" refers to the quality of a person in having or exhibiting extreme pride and ambition in his/her own actions and abilities. This personality quality of a person, in the over-confidence of a person, will oftentimes lead to an inescapable downfall later on.

In the epic "The Odyssey" by Homer, hubris is one character trait of Odysseus. One such example is when they were on the island of Polyphemus. After 'stealing' from Polyphemus, Odysseus lost many of his men to the cyclops. But despite that, he brags about his 'loot' and even taunts the one-eyes monster. He knows that it was against the wish of the gods to get involved or 'disturb' the cyclops, and that 'looting' a demi-god was against the rules, Odysseus couldn't help but brag about it, his bravery and ability in escaping the clutches of the demi-god.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
