Dear aunt.
I believe that my decision to change schools has generated many doubts among family members and for that reason, I decided to write this letter to justify what caused my change.
Recently, in order to prepare for college, I got an internship with a very important and recognized professional in our country. This professional works exactly in the area that I intend to work in the future and I believe that this will bring me many benefits. Unfortunately, the location of my internship was too far from my old school and I was having trouble getting to the internship at the correct time, so I decided to leave my old school and enroll in a new school, closer to my internship .
I believe that you agree that I had a good decision.
With love.

The term quiet rage used two words that have opposite meanings. Other examples of such expressions would be open secret, original copy, larger half etc. Think of two more such expressions.
Answer:
Two more of such expressions are:
- cold flame;
- bright darkness.
Explanation:
Phrases in which the words have opposite, contrasting meanings are examples of oxymorons. Oxymorons are often used as a way to emphasize an idea or concept. Usually, when looking at each word individually, the difference in meaning between them is astonishing. However, in context, they tend to make sense together, conveying the author's ideas in an interesting way. Two more of such expressions are:
- cold flame;
- bright darkness.
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters were also featured in a parody of Hamlet, the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gilbert's play makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet.
What is the author’s purpose in this passage?
a) To inform the reader about stage adaptations of Shakespeare’s characters.
b) To convince the reader that Shakespeare’s writing is out of date today.
c) To persuade the reader to explore more works by Shakespeare and others.
d) To question the reader about current understandings of Shakespeare’s writing.

The group of sentences best uses a variety of sentence patterns to convey meaning and relationship between ideas he jumped at the sudden noise, but no one was behind him. So he kept walking, glancing back over his shoulder to make sure he was alone.
What is noise?Noise is an unwanted sound considered unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. From a physics standpoint, there is no distinction between noise and desired sound, as both are vibrations through a medium, such as air or water. The difference arises when the brain receives and perceives a sound.
Acoustic noise is any sound in the acoustic domain, either deliberate or unintended. In contrast, noise in electronics may not be audible to the human ear and may require detection instruments. In audio engineering, noise can refer to the unwanted residual electronic noise signal that gives rise to acoustic noise heard as a hiss.
This signal noise is commonly measured using A-weighting or ITU-R 468 weighting.

C. They thought a ban on discrimination against women should be included in the amendment.
D. They believe that the amendment was too poorly written to hold up in court against law suits.
Answer:
C. They thought a ban on discrimination against women should be included in the amendment.
Explanation:
The 14th Amendment granted American citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the USA, including ex-slaves. This allowed ex-slaves to be considered citizens and to have the right to vote. This infuriated the women involved in the suffragette movement, as women were not considered in this amendment and therefore were not considerate citizens, neither white nor black, which prevented them from voting and made them not only submissive to white men but also to blacks.
