Look at the picture and write a paragraph
Read the passage from "Gid."
How would the passage most likely change if Girl's
mother were the narrator?
...is it true that you sing benna in Sunday School?
always eat your food in such a way that it doesn't turn
someone else's stomach; On Sundays, try to walk like
a lady ... don't sing benna in Sunday school, you
mustn't speak to warf-rat boys, not even to give
directions, don't eat fruits on the street-flies will follow
you but I don't sing benna on Sundays at all and never
in Sunday school.
O She would explain why she is so concerned about
Girl.
O She would tell readers why she respects Girl's
decisions
O She would ignore Girl's insistence that she doesn't
sing benna.
O She would share Girl's point of view on interacting
with boys
Answer:
She would explain why she is so concerned about Girl.
Explanation:
The passage would most likely change if Girl's mother was the narrator by explaining her concern for her daughter and why she would want her to be upright and be a good daughter.
From the passage given, it is narrated from the perspective of Girl where she talks about how her mother always tells her not to sing Benna in Sunday School, eat her food in such a way that it won't turn her stomach, walk like a lady and so on. We can infer that Girl is exasperated and tired of her mother's interference in her life and does not really understand her mother as she believes she is trying to control her life.
Narrating the story from her mother's point of view would enable her to explain why she is so concerned about her daughter, not as if she is controlling her.
Answer:
A- She would explain why she is so concerned about Girl.Explanation: Took the test hope I helped plz five stars. :)

Explanation:
Consider how cultural diversity defines American society and literature. Is the American identity static or fluid over time? How do you define your cultural identity?
Answer:
The American society is composed of an ethnical mix, with members of many nations which blend into one unique American identity, while keeping their authenticity. This authenticity can be seen clearly in the cultural diversity. Just like any other identity, American is fluid over time. It changes and alters, in accordance with societal changes. Identities are not carved in stone. While we have every right to actively participate in the process of fashioning our identities, they still have a relative autonomy, and change over time. For example, if I am an Italian immigrant who lives in the U.S., I still have every right to claim my Italian cultural inheritance, but it doesn't make me less of an American. By living in America, I am adopting new cultural traits. My children will have their own perception of their cultural identity that doesn't have to be the same as mine.

Read the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."
For me, reading has always been a path toward liberation and fulfillment. To learn to read is to start down the
road of liberation, a road which should be accessible to everyone. No one has the right to keep you from
reading, and yet that is what is happening in many areas in this country today. There are those who think they
know best what we should read. These censors are at work in all areas of our daily lives.
Which best describes how Anaya uses rhetorical appeal to convince readers that censors want to limit what people can
read?
A. Anaya speaks about everyone's right to read what they choose in order to appeal to the reader's sense of fairness.
B. Anaya presents documented facts about censors' motivations in order to appeal to the reader's sense of logic.
C. Anaya discusses his lifelong love of reading in order to establish his expertise for the reader on the topic of
censorship
D. Anaya refrains from stating a direct opinion in order to allow the reader to form one based on evidence from many
areas of the country.
The answer is A. Anaya speaks about everyone's right to read what they choose in order to appeal to the reader's sense of fairness.
Explanation:
In this excerpt, Rudolfo Anaya who is the author of this work explains the importance of avoiding and stoping censorship. Additionally, the author provides arguments such as "To learn to read is to start down the road of liberation" that suggests the action of reading and selecting freely what to read is related to rights and freedom and by limiting this, the rights and freedoms are limited. This argument appeals to the sense of fairness in the reader who would likely oppose this limitation of freedoms and support Anaya's point of view about censorship. Thus, option A describes the rhetorical appeal Anaya uses.

What’s the indirect object in the parts company will ship them the package
The correct answer is "them"
Explanation:
In general terms, the object of a sentence is the entity affected by the action. Moreover, in sentences, it is possible to find indirect and direct objects. In the case of the direct object is the element that directly receives the action, while the indirect object describes the person that benefits from the action.
In the case of the sentence "The parts company will ship them the package" the direct object is "the package" as this is the object that is "send", and therefore the object directly related to the action. Besides this, the word "them" would be the indirect object because this is the beneficiary of the action and it is indirectly related to it.

How does diction affect setting?
O by revealing the author's purpose in writing nonfiction
O by creating a specific description of the time and place
O by misleading the reader's sense of time and place
O by creating smooth sentence fluency that has rhythm when read aloud
Answer:
O By creating a specific description of the time and place.
Explanation:
In literature, the term "diction" is used to suggest the specific words/ linguistic choices that the author/writer uses in his work. This form is used to convey the type of setting, idea, theme, or point of view to tell the story.
This style of speaking or writing through the use of selective or some specific words helps in determining or defining the literary work. And while the setting is the geographical time or place where the story or event takes place, diction further helped in creating or specifying the description of the exact time or place.
Thus, the correct answer is option b/ second option.

Explanation:
Historians still don’t agree on the exact cause of the Salem witch trials. Several theories have been put forward explaining the motive behind the accusations: Economic Causes In Salem, some families were very rich, while others were poor. This disparity led to jealousy among some of the people. Several families were engaged in property disputes. Some of the accused were rich. If convicted, they would lose their land and property, which could then be bought by others. Suggesting that a person was a witch was one way of obtaining that person’s property. Some of the accused were poor. They were outsiders, and wealthier townspeople looked down on them. Accusing these people of being witches was one way of eliminating them from the village. Political Causes In the recent past, there had been several disputes over who should govern the Massachusetts Colony. The colonists had also endured some violent conflicts with American Indians. These events created political turmoil and instability. People were upset, and they blamed their problems on a lack of effective leadership. The leaders, in turn, were eager to see others take the blame for social problems. Accusing people of witchcraft made the accused responsible for social and political problems. The supposed witches could be blamed for whatever was wrong with society. Leaders did not have to take responsibility for mistakes or try to make changes. Intellectual Causes People knew little about science in those days. They were afraid of things they didn’t understand. People didn’t know about the causes of disease. If a person became sick, they believed it might be because of a curse. Witchcraft was one way of explaining the unknown. Psychological Causes Most of the accusers were young women and girls. At that time, girls were supposed to be quiet and obedient. They had little power in society. Accusing others of witchcraft may have made them feel powerful. Some girls and women may have been under pressure to make up stories about witchcraft. Powerful people who had something to gain from seeing certain people in the town convicted of witchcraft may have pressured these women into testifying. Mass hysteria may have also played a role. Mass hysteria happens when large numbers of people respond to real or imagined threats in an emotional and unreasonable way. They become frightened, angry, and even violent. During times of mass hysteria, people may engage in mob violence, hunting down, shaming, and sometimes even killing those they believe are responsible for their troubles. The power of suggestion can contribute to mass hysteria. When one person claims to see, hear, or feel something, others may believe it to be true and swear they hear, see, or feel the same thing without knowing why. For instance, if you see your friends scratch themselves or yawn, you may start scratching or yawning too, even if you aren’t itchy or tired. This is one example of what psychologists call the power of suggestion. Review this source for additional information about the causes of the Salem witch trials: Causes for the Outbreak of Witch Hysteria in Salem Think about the different theories that have been presented so far. Do you feel that one theory is more convincing than the others? Do you believe there might be more than one cause involved? Write a short opinion piece of about 200 to 250 words explaining what you believe caused the witch accusations. Refer to the details and source provided above to support your opinion. Make sure you include an introductory statement and a conclusion.
Answer:
The Salem Witch Trial Hysteria of 1692 was caused by a cultural belief in witches by the Christian Puritans, and social factors such as the young, unmarried women of Salem accused the married or widowed older women because they were jealous of their status in society
In a discussion, Liya points out that the authors of the three articles being
discussed are all from the United States. She wonders if their perspective on
climate change is too narrow, and whether they should find more diverse
sources. Which discussion technique is she most clearly using?
Answer:
She is using a discussion technique called "Think, Pair, Share"
Explanation:
You can see in the question above that Liya, after reading the articles and gathering interpretations about them, came to a conclusion that she decided to share with a group of people. This discussion technique is called "Think, Pair, Share" and occurs when an individual thinks about an information he has received (in this case, articles), resonates with reason about it and shares it with an audience that is interested.
Look at this chart of chronological events from Outcasts United. A flowchart of five boxes. Box 1 reads, Luma arrives at the center in a Volkswagen Beetle. Box 2 reads, Luma begins to coach the boys. Box 3 reads, Luma learns about the boys' past histories. Box 4 is blank. Box 5 reads, Luma quits Ashton's and opens a cleaning business. Which sentence best fills in the blank? Luma talks with Beatrice outside the apartment. Luma gives Jeremiah rides to every practice. Luma begins a team for fifteen-year-olds and under. Luma finds volunteer tutors for her players.
Answer:
D). Luma finds volunteer tutors for her players.
Explanation:
In order to complete the given chronology of events, the last option most aptly fills in the blank. After 'learning about the past histories of the boys', the next appropriate course of action would be to look for the appropriate volunteer tutors who could train her players efficiently. The other options are incorrect as they are either out of the context or they offer an inappropriate claim about the action to be followed after box 3. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
d. Luma finds volunteer tutors for her players.

ASAP ENGLISH 2 Based on the excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom, what is Frederick Douglass’s view about the lack of education among slave
Answer:
In My Bondage and My Freedom, Frederick Douglass describes how his mistress began to teach him the alphabet but was forced to stop by her husband, who convinced her that "education and slavery are incompatible with each other.”
Douglass also realized this fact as a child and resolved to learn to read and write by any means possible:
In teaching me the alphabet, in the days of her simplicity and kindness, my mistress had given me the "inch," and now, no ordinary precaution could prevent me from taking the "ell.”
In this way, Frederick Douglass suggests that education is the only way to break the chains of slavery. An educated man is free from ignorance and cannot be enslaved, so slaves should strive to get educated by any means possible.
Explanation:
plato / edmentum
Frederick Douglass wrote in his book My Bondage and My Freedom that his mistress had started to teach him the alphabet , but had to stop because her husband persuaded her that "education and enslavement are incompatible with each other."
What is the excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom based on?Douglass was aware of this as a child and made the decision to use all available resources to learn to read and write: My mistress had taught me the alphabet in the days of her simplicity and kindness, and now no common care could stop me from taking the "ell."
