a description of how checks and balances work


an explanation of why separating powers is important


an overview of the branches of the federal government

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

An explanation of why separating powers is an important element is absent from Passage 2 that would strengthen the author's discussion of the founding fathers' beliefs.

What do you mean by Power?

The authority, possession or control over anything is power.

The division of a state's government into branches, each with separate, independent powers and responsibilities, so that the powers of one branch do not conflict with those of the other branches, is referred to as the separation of powers.

The United States Federal Government is divided into three branches to ensure a separation of powers: legislative, executive, and judicial.

Therefore, Option (c) is correct.

What should happen next in my story after this?
Seth’s POV:

I’m really not sure why I invited her here. Was it because of the bet or did I actually what to hang out with her? Was it just because my parents were arguing again and I needed to get out? What the heck.. of course it’s because of the bet and maybe because I wanted to get away from my parents. She is not fun and super rude. I’d never want to hang out with her on my own. This is definitely for the bet. All that laughter and ‘fun’ was totally fake. She’s still an annoying spoiled brat.. right? I really don’t know how to see her anymore because right now she looks really adorable feeding the ducks. She has a big smile on her face and she generally looks really happy. Happy suits her. What am I even saying? This is kinda bad, I’m actually having... fun. I even almost told her about my parents fighting.. she definitely can not know about that. She wouldn’t understand. While I’m deep in thought, I notice her dump the rest of the bag of bread crumbs in the pond and giggle. I like when she laughs. Wait, no I don’t. “Pretty boy! Dump the rest of your crumbs to the ducks!” I smile and do as she says. “My name is Seth. You can stop calling me pretty boy.” She looks at me with a grin and says, “You know, I think I like pretty boy better.” She laughs and I glare at her. That’s what I said to her earlier when Ava told me her name. “Well, I guess I am pretty.” I say in a confident tone. She looks at me and responds, “Not even close.” I glare at her some more. She’s definitely still mean and bratty. “Aww, did I make you mad?” She asks in a mocking tone. Of course she did but I’m not admitting that to her. I walk towards her and she stops laughing and asks, “What are you doing?” I grin at her secretly knowing that she’s going to hate me even more after I do this. I walk even closer and push her into the pond. She screams and she hits the water and is completely soaked. “Oh my gosh! What is wrong with you?! I hate you!” She screams at me but I’m too busy laughing to pay attention. The next thing I know, I’m in the pond too. She grabbed my leg and pulled me in. I should have seen that coming. Now she’s dying of laughter. “I can’t believe you just did that!” I say to her. She starts laughing again and through her laughter says, “Oh come on! You totally deserved that!” I smile and say, “I guess I did.” She giggles. That annoyingly adorable laugh she has is driving me crazy. “We should go, it’s getting late.” I say to her. “Yeah, probably.” She replies. We crawl out of the pond and we are drenched. “We are really wet, won’t your parents get mad if you ruin the car?” How does she know my parents still come to my place? Does she know about my family issues? Did she hear them fighting through the phone call? “Why are you talking about my parents? That’s none of your business and if you must know, the car is mine.” I snap at her. I hear her mumble, “And you call me a brat.” “Whatever, get in the car sunflower.” The wetness won’t bother my car, after all, it’s just water. It will dry. The whole way back to sunflower’s place is pretty quiet. None of us say a word. Finally, I pull up to her house and park the car. She gets out and I say, “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow sunflower.” “Yeah, see ya pretty boy.” She closes the car door and I watch her as she walks into her apartment.

"He would like to think of himself as a lion. Balboa the Lion! But no, he is more of a rat..."

What is the meaning of the metaphor in these lines? (RL.2.4)

Answers

Answer: this metaphor could mean 2 things depending on what this text is about: (#1) this could refer to the characters inner thoughts that they are brave like a lion and that they did the right thing and then by calling them a rat it could suggest that they instead did the wrong thing

(#2) The character wants to think of themselves highly, and they compare themselves to a lion to convey this because lions are considered brave, strong, and powerful. Then the metaphor of comparing the character to a rat is used to show the reader the reality. This character doesn’t have the good qualities that they believe they have and so they are compared to a rat because rats are the prey of lions and possess opposite characteristics.

Which detail from "Tiger-Tiger!" best develops the theme that the rules of society don't always benefit the needs of the individual?

" . . . they [the children] made fun of him because he would not play games or fly kites, or because he mispronounced some word. . ."


"Luckily, the Law of the Jungle had taught him to keep his temper, for in the jungle, life and food depend on keeping your temper."


“'That tiger limps because he was born lame, as everyone knows. To talk of the soul of a moneylender in a beast that never had the courage of a jackal is child’s talk.'”


"Mowgli was uneasy, because he had never been under a roof before; but as he looked at the thatch, he saw that he could tear it out any time if he wanted to get away, and that the window had no fastenings."

Answers

Answer:

A. " . . . they [the children] made fun of him because he would not play games or fly kites, or because he mispronounced some word. . ."

Explanation:

'Tiger-Tiger' is a part of the collective stories in 'The Jungle Book' written by Rudyard Kipling. In this story, Mowgli leaves the jungle and decides to go live in human society, after driving the Sher Khan out of the jungle. When Mowgli comes to a village, he gets adopted by a wealthy family, who lost their son.

The theme that the rules of society don't benefit the needs of the individual is developed in option A. Mowgli is a jungle boy, brought up by a wolf pack in jungle, now he lives among human, his own kind, but, in both cases Mowgli remained an outcast. In jungle he was weak among the animals and the beast, but among humans he proved to be as strong as a bull.

In the statement, in option A, the narrator describes how the rules of society didn't fit Mowgli. When he was in jungle he learned to control his temperament. But when children made fun of him, he wanted to break them in two pieces.

Therefore, option A is correct.

It is important to understand the parts of speech to be able to correctly determine how a word functions in a sentence, not just grammatically, but also in meaning. It is also important to keep in mind that the same word may function as more than just one part of speech, according to the context.

Why is Fortinbras’ life affected by the pursuit of revenge? Does he use emotion or reason and logic?

Answers

Answer: who is fortinbras? We need more info

Explanation:

Answer:

Fortinbras was known for being a strong, courageous leader in Norway. He acts as a foil character to Hamlet within this play, and his ability to seek revenge. Fortinbras’ father, the King of Norway, was killed and in order to seek revenge on his death he wanted to get back the land that his father had lost to the old King Hamlet.

Unlike Hamlet, Fortinbras is known for quickly seeking revenge. “Now, sir, young Fortinbras/ Of unimproved mettle hot and full,/Hath in the skirts of Norway here and there/Shark'd up a list of lawless resolutes” (1,1, 95-98). Fortinbras had not wasted anytime he went straight for what he wanted. Hamlet on the other hand thought about his revenge for a longer period of time. Fortinbras' swift and forceful actions had caught Hamlet’s attention. By having these characteristics he was given Denmark on Hamlet’s death bed: ‘On Fortinbras; he has my dying voice:/ So tell him, with occurrents, more or less,/ Which have solicited.” (5,2, 349-351).In the end, unlike Hamlet and the other characters seeking revenge, it helped Fortinbras gain more power than he had in the beginning of the play. He is the only character who benefits from seeking vengance as he does it in a noble manner.

"She was usually so careful about our safety and the many other areas that he was forever reminding her about..."

Answers

Answer:

looks like the father wants the family to be perfect so they can fit in

Explanation:

We can say that the author's father wants his family to fit into American culture. This can be seen in the following line:

"'You know that he wants us to speak good English.'"

We can arrive at this answer because:

The author and her family are immigrants.Her father feels a strong fear that her family does not fit in well with American culture and that they will end up being discriminated against for it.He knows that the best way to fit into this culture is to know how to speak the language in the best way possible.So he helps everyone in the family to speak English.

The author's father wants them to speak English like Americans, without an accent, and in a correct manner.
