Read the two texts and then answer the question.

HAIKU
Five dead leaves falling
upward onto the branches
of a bare oak tree

THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.

What part of the story does the poem focus on?

A.
The fact that it still looks like winter
B.
The ways you can see that spring is coming
C.
What the trees look like before they get their leaves
D.
What the sparrows look like flying up into the oak tree

Answers

Answer 1
D because if you compare the two pieces then you can see the sparrows were startled and flew up to the tree for safety
Answer 2
it's B because in the paragraph it states things that let you know spring is coming

Item 9
Golden Days

by Lizzie Lawson

There are days of summer sunshine,
Of warm and sunny weather,
When the hedge is full of hawthorn
And hills are glad with heather.

There are days of silent sadness,
Of frost, and snow, and rain,
When we fear that summer's gladness
Will never come again.

And now our songs are minor key,
And now in merry tune;
The windward side will change to lee,
And January to June.

Day and night the sun is shining,
Though he may hide his head;
Each cloud has a silver lining,
The flowers are asleep not dead.

Every day may have its playtime
Made bright by cheerful lays;
And life be one long Maytime,
A year of golden days.

Read the theme.

Life, like nature, has pleasant and unpleasant moments.

How does this theme develop over the course of "Golden Days"?


Happiness is like the warmth of summer, and sadness is like the coldness of winter.

The playtime of spring helps people feel alive and excited again after a long winter.

The seasons are all rewarding and pleasant in their own unique ways.

Nature and life are both unpredictable, especially during winter and summer months.

Answers

Answer:

Life is unpredictable in terms of whats gonna happen next , time is rewarding and in a keen way sad because it can be spent but not bought back . I feel like the theme of this poem is to not underestimate a days worth , in terms of some seasons feeling gloomy when others are full of happiness spend your time accordingly so you can make the most of it.

Explanation:

I hope I was able to answer your question , thank you and have a great day :)

Time is rewarding and in a sharp way sad because it can be spent but not recovered, and life is unpredictable in terms of what will happen next. The poem's main message, in my opinion,

What is an opinion?

An opinion may be expressed regarding subjective issues for which there is no definitive evidence or it may be expressed regarding facts that are being contested on the pretext that everyone has the right to their own ideas.

Is not to undervalue a day's worth of opportunities. Given that some seasons can be depressing while others are joyful, you should plan how you will spend your time so that you can get the most out of it.

Therefore, opinion is preferable to being unpleasant without cause, especially

Using the proportionate connection theory to model these two tables, we may conclude the first table is proportionate whereas the second is not.

Clara's configuration:

To determine whether a relationship is proportionate, perform the following tests:                  

Yes, there seems to be a proportional relationship. Hector's set-up is as follows:              

The number of yellow flowers always out-numbers the number of white blooms by a factor of 2. As a result, the relationship could be modeled as follows;            

As a result, the relationship is not proportionate.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This is how I got my answer:

Process of elimination:

A.In my opinion, the answer could possibly be A. I don't know the full context of this passage, but it could be that A is correct. However, the second paragraph especially gives me the hint that B is more accurate here.  

B. In what I understood, this is correct. This is because it is clear that a battle was won here, as they seemed to have been struggling with getting approved to come to America. I think B is correct.

C.Although this may be true, and it may even be true specifically for the rest of this book, the short passage provided gives no negative connotation to it. It is a positive passage, and so the idea of life being difficult was never brought up. This is incorrect.

D. You have to be careful when looking at problems like this, because it's small words that indicate the correct/incorrect answer. The use of the phrase "promise of a great future" guarantees something that will not be true every time. So, this is incorrect.

Let me know if I was correct!

B. True joy is experienced after difficult battles are won.

I saw my mother and said hello... but she replied "Where are you honey?". I hastily replied "I'm right here mom" but she still did not see me. I rushed to the bathroom and realized "I WAS INVISIBLE!" I was scared and nervous at first but then I realized.... "I don't have to go to school!!" I was very excited about that so I walked to the ice cream truck and got ice cream for free! I was thinking of what to do and realized "I can go to school and get all of the drama and secrets". That's when I saw the school bus taking people to school. But then again I was still in my pajamas... but nobody could see me I was invisible! I got on the bus and we got to school much faster than it normally takes. I had to remember  to be very quiet although I was invisible everyone could still hear me! I walked inside of my school and saw my best friends! I wanted to go say hello to them but instead just walked up and listened. They were talking about me! I heard one of them say "How should we arrange this" and then the other said "Hmm not sure but she is going to be so surprised" I started to think what if they are going to embarrass me in front of everyone or maybe something even worse! I started getting very nervous. I left school quickly and saw the time. School was almost over! I was wondering where all the time went but then remembered waking up and my friends not being there. I must have passed out from being so nervous! I went into my all of my classrooms and grabbed copies of the work so i could do my work and bring it in tomorrow. I went home and sat down. "Time to get this work done" I said to myself. I finished the first assignment but then I got distracted and next thing I know i'm sleeping and it is 7 in the morning. "Wow I fell asleep not finishing my work.. oh well" I shrugged. I jolted out of my seat "Maybe i'm not invisible!" I saw that I wasn't invisible! I did enjoy being invisible but I like being able to hang out with my friends and family more.

Everyone crowded around the pitcher, the ball player who hit the winning run.

Everyone crowded around the pitcher because he hit the winning run.

Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.

Answers

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run

Answer:

The sentence that correctly includes a restrictive phrase is:

A. Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.

Explanation:

A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. It can also be called defining relative clause. A restrictive clause is not set off by commas. The option that has information about the ball player that is not set off by commas is:

A. Everyone crowded around the ball player who hit the winning run.

When we have a restrictive clause removed, the sentence loses part of its meaning. If we remove "who hit the winning run," the rest of the sentence could be referring to any ball player. Therefore, this information is crucial because it specifies to which ball player we refer.

Note: Option B does not have commas as well, but it uses the conjunction "because", which does not form a restrictive clause.
