Animal Life Spans
Humans can live to be 80, 90 or even 100 years old. In a few rare cases, they
can live even longer. Most animals, have far shorter lives than humans.
Here are some maximum life spans for small animals. A mouse, a popular pet
rodent, lives for about three years. If you get one as a pet, don’t plan on having it
until you go away to college. Guppies, the popular pet fish, live a bit longer. They
reach 5 years in age. Giant spiders can live a surprisingly long time, as long as 20
years.
What about large animals? Of the biggest animals have similar life spans. The
maximum life span of an elephant is 77 years. The maximum life span of a blue
whale is 80 years. Bears are another large animal that can live for quite a long time.
And how about reptiles? Alligators can live for more than 70 years. Turtles
can live even longer. Some species of turtles can reach over 100 years in age.

1. List one generalization you can find in the passage.

2. List one simple fact you can find in the passage.

3. Is this generalization supported by the facts in the passage? Explain why or
why not. Fish live longer than rodents.

4. Is this generalization too braod? Explain why or why not.
No animals can live to be 100 years old.

5. Make a generalization based on the facts in the passage.


( answer pls :(

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. A generalization can be made in the phrase "Guppies, the popular pet fish, live a bit longer. They reach 5 years in age." This is because this sentence presents a very big idea, assuming that all fish of the Guppies species live for five years, but does not give details of how it happens. This is the concept of a generalization, which is very comprehensive information that does not present supporting details.

2. A simple fact that can be seen in the passage is that humans can live about 80, 90 and 100 years. This is an affirmation that does not present any complexity and that can be presented in a clear and direct way without presenting great explanations, because its meaning is intrinsic in its structure, that is, this information is a simple fact.

3. This generalization is supported by the facts of the passage, since it is possible to see that the author presented the life expectancy of these two animals, showing that fish can live two years longer than rodends, since the text presents a kind of fish that lives for five years and shows that a mouse lives for about three years.

4. This generalization is weak, as the text shows that there are species of turtles that are capable of living for 100 years and even, beyond 100 years of life. In addition, the text presents the human being, who is also an animal, as someone who can exceed 100 years, even if it is rare.

5. "It is possible for human beings to live more than 100 years." As stated earlier, generalization is a phrase that has a very big idea, extremely comprehensive and without any supporting details. In this case, we can say that assuming that human beings can reach 100 years of age, without providing details is a generalization.

help please lol Read Michelle’s claim statement for a literary analysis essay about a nonfiction text.


In his autobiography Up from Slavery, Booker T. Washington shows how the different settings, or places he lived, affected his life, work ethic, and beliefs.


Which quote from the text can she use as evidence to support her claim?


A.

“The early years of my life, which were spent in the little cabin, were not very different from those of thousands of other slaves.”

B.

“After some hours had passed, the head teacher said to me: ‘The adjoining recitation-room needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it.’”

C.

“During my last year at Hampton every minute of my time that was not occupied with my duties as janitor was devoted to hard study.”

D.

“After the coming of freedom there were two points upon which practically all the people on our place were agreed… that they must change their names, and that they must leave the old plantation for at least a few days or weeks in order that they might really feel sure that they were free.”

Answers

Answer:

B.  “After some hours had passed, the headteacher said to me: ‘The adjoining recitation-room needs sweeping. Take the broom and sweep it.’”

Explanation:

As per the question, Michelle can use the second quotation i.e. 'After some hours...sweep it' as evidence to substantiate the validity of her claim as it shows the readers that non-fiction text narrates the real events and experiences. In her claim, she asserts that how Washington displays the impact of various backgrounds or locations on his life and the words by his headteacher to him for doing the smaller tasks like sweeping would have inspired him to be humble and not consider any task as petty. This would not only support but also justify the claim and hence, option B is the correct answer.

help me please u have to describe what a problem is

Answers

Answer:

A problem can be defined as an issue or challenge encountered by a person, which typically requires a solution.

Explanation:

A problem can be defined as an issue or challenge encountered by a person, which typically requires a solution.

Generally, problems are considered to be either simple or complex depending on the individual, parameters, and factors involved.

This ultimately implies that, problems are relative in nature but always require that a solution be proffered.

An example of a problem is a power outage in a town due to flood and thunderstorms caused by heavy rainfalls.

The problem-solving process can be defined as a systematic approach used for identifying and determining the solution to a particular problem.

The steps involved in the problem-solving process are;

1. Identify and define the problem: this is the first step to be taken in solving a problem. This is to ensure that, the focus is on the main issue or situation (goal) and all efforts is channeled in the right direction rather than the symptoms.

2. Gathering of information: this helps to consider the options available in solving a problem effectively.

3. Consider your options: this helps to compare the available and viable solutions to the problem.

4. Weigh disadvantages and evaluate a solution: you weigh the disadvantages of each solution, before choosing the one with the least disadvantages.

b. Write a well-organized essay in which you argue your position on this issue.
c. but while some sports are safe, others can be very risky

Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answers

Answer:

The increasing popularity of so-called extreme sports such as base jumping and rock climbing have led to backlash calling for them to be banned. Although these sports are potentially fatal, they should not be banned as they are also fun and can be undertaken responsibly.

The reason that many have demanded limits on extreme sports is their potential for injury and death. Take for example one of the most notorious extreme sports: base jumping. In this sport, participants jump off a given point (a cliff or building, for example) with a parachute. There is very little time before they hit the ground so unforeseen parachute malfunctions are possible and the fatality rate is extremely high. Those that do not die may suffer severe, debilitating injuries such as paralysis and brain damage. Base jumping is something of an outlier on the spectrum of dangerous sports but all these sports involve varying degrees of danger.

Despite the aforementioned concerns, I believe the fun people have outweighs potential injury when they are cautious. Base jumping is the most perilous extreme sport but other sports such as skiing, deep-sea diving, and rock climbing are relatively safe. Rock climbing is a good example of a sport that can be very safe and fun if proper precautions are taken. You should sign up for training and go with someone who knows how to safely rig up the harness and tie the requisite knots. Many people who try it end up become passionate rock climbers because it is an exhilirating experience. Most extreme sports, taken seriously, present little real danger and are an enjoyable pasttime.

In conclusion, extreme sports are fun and do not have to be particularly dangerous. People should take the opportunity to responsibly try out at least one extreme sport in their lives in order to see if it is to their liking.
