A.
Because it had bright and beautiful wings
B.
Because it flew on the backs of geese
C.
Because it was small with tiny wings that beat very quickly

The Hummingbird
When European explorers first saw hummingbirds, they were not sure they were looking at a bird or an insect. They called hummingbirds "fly birds." Some believed they migrated on the backs of geese and other birds.

Myths about the Hummingbird
A Mayan legend says that the hummingbird is the sun in disguise, trying to court a lovely woman, the moon. The Hopis believed the bird would convince the gods to bring them rain. So they painted the bird on their water jars. The Aztecs added hummingbird feathers to their ceremonial clothes. They also wore hummingbird jewelry and decorated their weapons with hummingbird feathers. Many cultures believed that hummingbirds were messengers between the spirit world and the world of humans.

One right

Answers

Answer:

freedom of religion

Explanation:

The first amendment says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."  

It says 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion' in the first line, so, since congress can not make laws making us have a certain religion, we have the freedom to choose our religion.

a short paragraph (150-200) using 5-6 collocation

Answers

Answer:

On Wednesday morning, I took the fast train to London, which is where I work as an accountant in a bank. Even though I almost burst into tears due to a problem with my computer and an approaching deadline, my day was pretty good. After work, I met with my friend Joe at a fast-food restaurant, where we stayed until the heavy rain stopped. He is a funny person that always makes me laugh and have good experiences. After seeing my friend, I did the shopping, and as I run out of money, I took the train back home. Once inside, I went to the fridge and took all the necessary ingredients to cook dinner. As my brother was visiting me that evening, I decided to make his favorite meal, chicken, and salad and for the dessert, a chocolate cake that I bought after meeting Joe. Indeed, I had a good day.

Explanation:

Collocations are combinations of words that are more often said, read, and spoken than other sets of words to say the same thing. Also, they are fixed expressions that people use due to how often they say and hear them. For example, we can say, -I have no more money left-, or -I have run out of money- the last sentence is more usual. Also, we can say break a habit to say that we want to stop with that habit.

It is a participial phrase.

Explanation:

A participial phrase contains a participial along with other words. So let's look at an example.

"Tidying up her desk for the day, Tina knew she could finally go home." The participial in this sentence is "tidying," and the rest of the words that go along with the participial "tidying" make up the participial phrase. Therefore we know the participial phrase in this sentence is "tidying up her desk for the day".

Explanation:

Romantic literature dominated American arts and letters up until the end of the 19th century. In "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences" Twain discusses how Cooper's writing fails because Cooper's writing focuses more on imagination than on any sort of logic or realistic depictions.



How does Twain avoid these "literary offences" in "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and why is this avoidance significant?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Twain avoided "literary offenses" by not mentioning these works throughout the narrative. This was significant because Twain keeps his attention on the narrative itself, specifically stimulating the themes that the narrative addresses.

In this case, instead of provoking criticism to other known works and authors, Twain highlights a narrative with themes that provoke reflections on regional differences and stereotypes, a sense of community and personal integrity.

Mahmoud "felt the stirrings of indignation, of anger, of sympathy" when he saw 2 boys attacking another boy for his bread; yet, he did nothing. What should he have done? What would YOU do?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Although this is a situation in which someone must intervene, Mahmoud knows that he should not draw attention to himself, as this would be extremely dangerous and could damage his and his family's life in a grand and deadly way. It is true that he should have fought with the boys who were attacking another boy and prevented them from stealing the boy's bread, but seeing Mahmoud's situation, we cannot judge him for having done nothing. We ourselves, in this situation, would probably do the same.

What similarities exist between rhetorical choices made in Nixon’s speech “Peace with Honor” and King’s speech “Beyond Vietnam”

Answers

Answer:

Both speeches use pathos as a similar rhetorical choice.

Explanation:

Both speeches make a strong appeal to pathos, which is the rhetorical resource that stimulates the emotional side of the audience that is listening to the speech, making them touched by the arguments presented.

However, each speech makes an appeal to emotion with different arguments. Nixon's speech makes an appeal to American pride, showing that the ceasefire in Vietnam will be an honorable act, in favor of the pride of American society. On the other hand, King's speech is focused on compassion towards the Vietnamese who have had their lives, families and home destroyed because of the war.

Explain what an essay is. Remember to include all parts that make up an essay and
explain what their functions are within the essay

Answers

A essay is a piece of writing of a particular subject of a author’s argument against something. Essays consists of a introduction paragraph. The introduction paragraph is, what gets the reading interested and identifying your topic of the essay. Next are the body paragraphs. The body paragraphs have a topic sentence about what the paragraph is going to be about and supporting sentences with some examples/evidence to support that. For each body paragraph you do a different subject with examples/evidence. Body paragraphs are usually about five or more sentences for each of your paragraphs. Lastly there is the concluding paragraph. The concluding paragraph basically summarizes the essay and the main idea of what the essay was about. Sometimes gives a solution to the argument.

Answer:

Explanation: An essay means a piece of composition on a topic. The definition of it literally varies from person to person but the entire semanticity of different definitions, to some extent,seems to be similar.

Essays can be literally or non literally on any subject or topics. It can be categorised as literary and non literary on the basis of following criteria:

1. The style of presentation

2. Language form and wording

3. The nature of the theme they deal with

4. The purpose of writing

Parts of an essay

1. Introduction are the beginning

- introduction is the first part of the essay.It simply introduces the subject matter by giving general introduction of the topic it should be arresting and pertinent to the subject. It is said that the introduction should be short,clear, simple, complete and impressive.

2. Body are the middle part

- This is the second and the most important part of the essay. In this part the writer elaborates the subject matter. Instruction ,description and collaborations or the supporting details of the central idea of themes should be given after the introduction. This is also called the description parts it contains appropriate facts, figures ,examples, logics and so on.

3. Conclusion of the ending

- the ending may contain the writers own opinion as the summary of the whole writing to a good conclusion may consist of the summary, final conclusion, a suitable quotation and must end with the main point.
