Answer:
This is the story of how I almost got killed by visiting cemetery at night. Obliviously, I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop me. Cemeteries are notorious for being creepy and eerie, even more so at night. So why I did this is beyond me. I went to the cemetery as a dare from one of my friends, as I walked past crumbling, old, cracked tomb stones from as far back as the 1700's, I heard something crunch behind me. I walked with haste seeing as I turning around could slow me down if someone was following me and I needed to run. However, something in my gut told me something wasn't right and I turned around. The details are graphic so I won't include them but let's just say, I strongly advise to anyone and everyone reading this to NEVER do what I did.
Explanation:
Btw, this isn't a real story I made it up.

Taylor cuts 1/5 sheet of construction paper for an arts and crafts project. Enter 1/5 as an equivalent fraction with the denominators shown. The equivalent fractions are 1/5 = ?/15 = ?/20 = ?/25 = ?/45
Answer:
The equivalent of ¹/₅ based on the given denominators are ³/₁₅, ⁴/₂₀, ⁵/₂₅, ⁹/₄₅
Explanation:
Given fraction = ¹/₅
The equivalent fraction of ¹/₅ based on the given denominator is calculated as follows;
To obtain the equivalent fraction, factor the denominator by 5 and multiply the numerator and denominator with the result.
[tex]\frac{?}{15} = \frac{1 \times 3}{5\times 3} = \frac{3}{15}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{?}{20} = \frac{1 \times 4}{5\times 4} = \frac{4}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{?}{25} = \frac{1 \times 5}{5\times 5} = \frac{5}{25}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{?}{45} = \frac{1 \times 9}{5\times 9} = \frac{9}{45}[/tex]

"The Commissioner went away, taking three or four soldiers with him. In the many years in which he had toiled to bring civilization to different parts of Africa he had learned a number of things. One of them was that a District Commissioner must never attend to such undignified details as cutting a hanged man from the tree. Such attention would give the natives a poor opinion of him. In the book which he planned to write he would stress that point. As he walked back to the court he thought about that book. Every day brought him some new material. The story of this man who had killed a messenger and hanged himself would make interesting reading. One could almost write a whole chapter on him. Perhaps not a whole chapter, but a reasonable paragraph, at any rate. There was so much else to include, and one must be firm in cutting out details. He had already chosen the title of the book, after much thought: The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger."

To what does the author compare jim's and della's prized possessions? How do these exaggerated comparisons amplify the theme of the story ?
Answer: i love this story so much, The magi are also well-known as the Three Wise Men. According to the story of the magi, these men traveled far and long in order to find Jesus and give their gifts to Him. The gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh were very precious during that time. They were also a contrast to the poverty into which Jesus was born; He could not use these gifts. However, the gifts and the long journey were great sacrifices for these three men. They symbolized the deep love they had for Jesus. Likewise, Della and Jim each sacrificed their most prized possessions—Jim’s watch and Della’s beautiful hair. The gifts may not seem wise to the reader because the two are unable to use them. However, O. Henry calls the young newlyweds wise and compares them to the magi. Their gifts were given to symbolize the deep love they had for each other. Even in their extreme poverty, they were rich. O. Henry's beautiful Christmas tale draws many allusions to the biblical magi, or wise men, and on so many levels, in his story "The Gift of the Magi." First, the magi from the bible can be compared to Jim and Della because they all sacrifice so much in obtaining and giving their chosen gifts. The Magi gave very expensive ore, metals, and oils to the baby Jesus while also traveling for years to find him. Jim and Della are like the magi by this same token because they both sacrifice something very dear to them in order to obtain and give their gifts. To Jim, his family watch was priceless; and to Della, her hair symbolized the time and care it takes to maintain such long locks, but also represented her femininity and role as a young bride. Authors uses allusions, or parallels, such as these to drive home a connection between the characters and universal human truth. At the time, many of O. Henry's readers were Christian of some kind and many understood the sacrifices taken in order to give gifts at Christmas time. By giving the title to Jim and Della's story a connection to the wise men, the audience is consciously aware of the connection that the author wants to make. Part of the conclusion that can be drawn between the title and the story is that no matter how wealthy or poor a person is, giving a gift with love is the most precious of sentiments; and, you don't have to be a magi to give a gift that matters.

Explanation:
This question is about the poem "Dream Deferred" by author Langston Hughes. Hughes was an important name in the African-American movement known as the Harlem Renaissance, which took place in the 1920s and 1930s. The poem's theme revolves around the oppression suffered by African Americans - an oppression that often suffocated, sometimes even killed their dreams. That is what Hughes explores with the comparisons he makes in the poem. A dream that is never fulfilled probably becomes something else - maybe just a beautiful, sweet thought, maybe a stinky, heavy bitterness.
Explain the relationship between language and the way that humans perceive their worlds.
The correct response is - Language determines our perspective of reality and reflects our behavior; it is more than just a means of communication. As a result, speakers of different languages concentrate their attention on various parts of the environment, whether those features be physical or cultural.
What is Perception?In order to represent and comprehend the information or environment being given, perception involves the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory data. Signals that go through the neurological system as a result of chemical or physical activation of the sensory system underlie all perception.
According to the Law of Perception, perception matters more than reality when two products are competing.
The three stages of perception are sensory selection and stimulation, organization, and interpretation. These phases affect how we form perceptions of the world around us even though we seldom ever are aware of them in detail.

In the first sentence of the third paragraph, the author describes needlework as "seemingly peculiarly adapted to the powers and tastes of women primarily to
A) signal the limitations of a cliché she plans to undermine
B)admit that trades do attract people of different capabilities
C)express uncertainty about what motivates women to choose certain jobs
D) imply that most women would prefer jobs traditionally reserved for men
offer examples of gender differences in the workplace
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
In the book titled "In Nature's Name: An Anthology of of Women's Writing and Illustration , 1780-1930" the author Barbara T. Gates compiles the lost works of women who wrote from being inspired by the nature.
From the late eighteenth century to early twentieth century, British women wrote about the nature.
By calling the needlework as "seemingly peculiarly adapted to powers and tastes of women" primarily meant to signal the limitations of a cliche she plans to undermine. Therefore, option A is correct.
Answer: A
signal the limitations of a cliché she plans to undermine
Explanation:
The author uses the phrase “seemingly peculiarly adapted” to signal the limitations of the widely held notion that women have an innate aptitude for needlework. In the sentence that immediately follows ("Yet surely it is not . . . embrace it"), she undermines the idea by archly implying that, contrary to clichéd assumptions, many men enjoy and excel at needlework—they engage in it voluntarily, not because they are compelled to do so. The author engages with this claim about women and needlework because it appears to be self-evident; by pointing out that “men can do it, and do it well,” the author calls into question the notion that women are specially adapted to needlework, further supporting her thesis that intellect is not determined by gender.
