3. QUESTION 3: In the following paragraph, select a line from the text that the author offers to
support her idea that people are not always focused on doing "whatever [is] necessary to survive
in a crisis."

we'd all be very focused on whatever was necessary to survive. But that's not always true. In July
2007, I was having a drink with a friend in Grand Central Station when an underground steam
pipe exploded just outside. From where we sat, we heard a dull "boom!" and then suddenly,
people were running, streaming out of the tunnels and out the doors.
My friend and I walked quickly and calmly outside, but to get any further, we had to push our
way through a crowd of people who were staring, transfixed, at the column of smoke rising from
the front of the station. Some people were crying, others were screaming, others were on their
cell phones... *

what similarities do you find between the cherry tree and the boy from the story cherry tree

Answers

Answer:

The Cherry Tree by Ruskin Bond we have the theme of struggle, resilience, dedication, conflict, growth, responsibility and pride. Taken from his Collected Short Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Bond may be exploring the theme of struggle. The seed that Rakesh plants incurs many difficulties before it grows to become a cherry tree. Just as an individual may struggle in life so too does the cherry tree. However what is interesting is the resilience that the cherry tree shows. It is as though the cherry tree refuses to be defeated by life. If anything the cherry tree becomes more resilient as it grows. The fact that Rakesh also nurtures the cherry tree might be important as Bond may be suggesting that just as the cherry tree may need a little help to grow. So too do people. Those who are nurtured and cared for in life have a better chance of success (like the cherry tree) than those who may be left abandoned or forgotten about. Something that Rakesh does not do. He constantly keeps an eye on the cherry tree to ensure that everything is okay. Which may highlight the dedication that Rakesh has.

Just as the cherry tree mirrors the struggles that an individual might incur in life it is also possible that Bond is suggesting that in life comes conflict too. Something which is very much the case for the cherry tree. It is defenseless at first against any possible predators due to its size but as it grows it becomes stronger. Which may be symbolically important as Bond could be suggesting that an individual as they grow (not only physically) will also become stronger. If anything with growth comes the ability to overcome adversity. What also makes the cherry tree so important to Rakesh is the fact that he has been responsible for its growth. Just as a parent might help a child. So too has Rakesh helped the cherry tree. He has never forgotten his responsibility and there is a sense that Rakesh has been rewarded for his patience. The cherry tree is able to look after itself just as child might when he or she matures into adulthood. No longer does Rakesh have to worry about the cherry tree. Just as a parent may no longer have to worry about a child when he or she becomes an adult.

Rakesh’s grandfather may also be an important character as he in many ways acts as a guide for Rakesh. It is through his help that Rakesh is able to ensure that the cherry tree grows to become stronger. This may be significant as there are many similarities between Rakesh and the cherry tree. As Rakesh grows taller and stronger so too does the cherry tree. The reader aware that both have been helped and assisted by Rakesh’s grandfather. It is as though Bond is suggesting that with age comes wisdom and an ability to be kind to others. The reader already knows that without Rakesh’s grandfather’s help. Rakesh would not be in school. Which may bead some critics to suggest that Bond is highlighting the importance of family when it comes to an individual’s growth. Just as Rakesh might have a responsibility towards the cherry tree. So too does Rakesh’s grandfather have a responsibility towards Rakesh. The result being that Rakesh through the help of his grandfather is living a healthy and balanced life. He is being led by his grandfather along the right path in life. Just as the cherry tree is being nurtured by Rakesh. Rakesh in turn is being nurtured by his grandfather.

Answers

Answer: D across

Explanation: Ex: Transportation - to go across

Answer:

D. Across

Explanation:

The prefix "trans" is derived from Latin and is used commonly throughout the English language.  There are many examples that can help determine the meaning of this prefix.  Consider these few examples:

TransAtlantic flight --> A flight across the Atlantic ocean

Account Transfer --> A movement of an item across acounts

Translate --> express a word or phrase across languages

Note, in all three of these examples, the prefix "Trans" is used and we can understand that the meaning here is clearly Across.

"‘Gatsby. Somebody told me—’

"I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited—they went there. . . . Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission."

Many animals depend on trees for shelter or food, and destroying these habitats can wipe out many species of bugs or even birds. This may not seem like a such a bad thing because many people think of bugs as pests, but many animals like birds, frogs, and many other species would be greatly affected.
