Excerpt from Stuff Matters
By Mark Miodownik
In the absence of copper, gold, and meteoric iron, our ancestors’ tools during the Stone Age were made of flint, wood, and bone. Anyone who has ever tried to make anything with these kinds of tools knows how limiting they are: if you hit a piece of wood it either splinters, cracks, or snaps. The same is true of rock or bone. Metals are fundamentally different from these other materials because they can be hammered into shape: they flow, they are malleable. Not only that, they get stronger when you hit them; you can harden a blade just by hammering it. And you can reverse the process simply by putting metal in a fire and heating it up, which will cause it to get softer. The first people to discover these properties ten thousand years ago had found a material that was almost as hard as a rock but behaved like a plastic and was almost infinitely reusable. In other words, they had discovered the perfect material for tools, and in particular cutting tools like axes, chisels, and razors. This ability of metals to transform from a soft to a hard material must have seemed like magic to our ancient ancestors.

In 1961 Professor Richmond from Oxford University discovered a pit that had been dug by the Romans in AD 89. It contained 763,840 small two-inch nails, 85,128 medium nails, 25,088 large nails, and 1,344 extra-large sixteen-inch nails. The hoard was of iron and steel and not gold, which most people would have found bitterly disappointing. But not Professor Richmond. Why, he asked himself, would a Roman legion bury seven tons of iron and steel? The legion had been occupying the advance headquarters of Agricola in a place called Inchtuthil in Scotland. This was at the outer reaches of the Roman Empire, and their mission was to protect its border from what they saw as the savage tribes who threatened it: the Celts. The legion of five thousand men occupied the region for six years before retreating and, in the process, abandoning their fort. They made great efforts to leave behind nothing that could help their enemies. They smashed all food and drink containers and burned the fort to the ground. But they weren’t satisfied with this. In the ashes were the steel nails that had held the fort together, and they were far too valuable to be left to the tribes that had driven them out. Iron and steel were the materials that enabled the Romans to build aqueducts, ships, and swords; they allowed them to engineer an empire. Leaving the nails to their enemies would have been as useful as leaving a cache of weapons, so they buried them in a pit before marching south.
The author draws a contrast between metals and other materials in all of the following EXCEPT:
A) Flint, wood, and bone are more brittle.
B) Metals are reusable.
C) Metals are non-polluting.
D) Metals can be shaped into other objects.
Answer:
C) Metals are non-polluting.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from Stuff Matters
by Mark Miodownik, it is narrated that metals were a very important discovery that helped shaped mankind forever. Our ancestors made use of stones, flints and bones but these materials had their limitations and could not be shaped into other forms. However, the discovery of metals solved this problem.
The author draws a contrast between metals and other materials in all of the following EXCEPT saying that Metals are non-polluting.

In the opening chapter of the text "their eyes were watching god" , Hurston sets up a contrast between men and women. She metaphorically says men are impractical because they chase after dreams that are unattainable; however, women are more practical as they make do with what they have. She wrote this in 1937. Do these descriptions apply to men and women in today's world? How do her observations compare and contrast to your observations and experiences?
Respond thoughtfully to this prompt with a claim, examples/observation from experience, and reasoning (CER--minimum of 6 sentences).
Answer:
Even in today's world men and women both have different levels of privilege. In the 1900s women were seen more and housewives and mother's than as people. Now let's go back farther in time when women were not allowed to read, go to school or even think for themselves, men were always able to dream bigger and go after those dreams because they could. While women had to think practical because they know they had way less of a chase of there dreams actually coming true.

You ordered a torch from an online shopping company but the packag
arrived torn and open. Write a letter saying you are returning the
package and that you expect a replacement.
Answer:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am James Smith, a resident of Aurora, Illinois, have recently ordered a smartphone - Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, from your online shop. Unfortunately, when I unwrapped the phone, I found that the phone screen was broken and the stylus was missing. I am writing to notify you of the problem and to replace my product with a fresh one.
I placed the order on 15th May 2019 from my home and my invoice number is SAI-25478ASNE. I used my VISA credit card to pay for the order. I was looking forward to receiving the phone and start using it but when the phone finally arrived two days later, it was not in the condition it should have been. The main screen was smashed, and I could not find the stylus in the box. This is quite unexpected and as a regular customer, I am disappointed with your service.
Please inform me how can I replace the phone, as the warranty covers it, and get a fresh one as early as possible? Should I visit one of your retail shops?
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and I would like you to take the necessary measure so that it does not repeat in the future.
Yours faithfully,
James Smith
Explanation:
What is the meaning of The superior man thinks of virtue;the ordinary man thinks of comfort
Answer:
Confucius meant that the superior man constantly keeps his virtues in the front of his mind, and instead of opting for the “comfortable” option, which is what might feel better just for that moment, he remains steadfast towards virtue, he stays patient and humble. ... Virtue is doing the right thing.Explanation:
Answer:
Let me just use the explanation to answer.
Explanation:
This saying is about morals. Virtue, as used here, means goodness, or whether they are doing the right thing. What the speaker is saying is that it is better to do things because they are right than because they are comfortable. In simple terms the quote says:
The better man thinks of doing good things, while the normal man thinks only of his own happiness and how it is easier to not do the right thing, or to do nothing at all.

How does Amanda Gorman explore the themes of the good life in her poem “The Hill We Climb?”
Amanda Gorman wrote and performed "The Hill We Climb" to celebrate the 2021 inauguration of Joe Biden as 46th President of the United States. The poem celebrates the U.S. not as a "perfect union," but as a country that has the grit to struggle with its all-too-real problems. Progress, the poem argues, doesn't happen all at once: it's a slow and sometimes painful "climb" up the "hill" of justice, a climb that takes patience and humility. To this poem's speaker, change is hard work, but it's always possible: dedicated Americans can see—and be!—the "light" of a better future.

Explanation:
Read the paragraph. Then answer the items. Giraffes’ towering height is the key to their ability to survive in their often-dry habitat. It allows them to reach the tender leaves at the top of acacia trees. Because these leaves are about three-quarters water, they also provide moisture when there are no watering places nearby. Giraffes didn’t just decide to grow longer necks to reach these leaves! Over hundreds of generations, the tallest giraffes, who could reach more leaves, became healthier, lived longer, and had more offspring. Gradually, the average height increased.3. Paraphrase the rst two sentences of the text.4. Summarize the paragraph.
Answer:
he genus Acacia is well-represented in southern California parks and gardens with dozens of different species. In fact, it is one of the largest genera of trees and shrubs in the world, with nearly 800 species. It is rivaled in size by only a few woody genera, such as Ficus (1,000), Eucalyptus (500) and Cassia (500). Acacias are commonly cultivated throughout temperate, tropical and desert regions, and include numerous distinctive growth forms with a profusion of yellow or white flower clusters. Acacias also provide us with many useful products, from beautiful hardwoods to water-soluble gums used as a thickening agent in your favorite frozen dessert. In the wild, native acacias provide the food and habitats for a variety of animals, from hoofed mammals and birds to countless species of insects. Extensive browsing by giraffes can prune the understory branches of acacia trees. The characteristic flat-topped crowns of some species are genetically determined. For example, the widespread umbrella thorn (Acacia tortilis) on vast African savannahs is adapted to this environment. Apparently the exaggerated umbrella-shaped crown enables the trees to capture the maximum amount of sunlight, with the smallest of leaflets. Swollen thorn acacias of Central America and South Africa form one of nature's most remarkable symbiotic associations with ants.

Lester Rennet pulled his own paper keyboard from his briefcase and unfolded it. "As you can see," he said, holding it up
to the tired piano at the front of the room, "your More with Les
paper keyboard is exactly to scale. It has black keys and white keys, just like a real piano-except, of course, that they make no sound when you touch them! The More with Les paper keyboard is the perfect practice instrument! No worrying about plunking out wrong notes in front of your friends! You can
practice anywhere. At the kitchen table! At Bingo Night!" Mr. Rennet pointed at me. "You can practice in the school lunchroom!"

3. a device used to determine
weight 4. a graded system of ratings or ranks
Which definition best fits the way scale is used in paragraph 31?
Answer: Definition 2 : A
proportion of dimensions of an original and its representation
Explanation: This is because the paper piano was an exact copy of a regular piano, it just didn’t make any sound. So the words “original and it’s representation” from the definition is saying a copy of something.

Excerpt from The Junior Detective
Marie Devers
When I find a question that reguires investigation,
pull out all the stops and start my thorough speculation
I believe in accuracy, and truth for all involved,
and always staying neutral til the case is all but solved.
Each occurrence that I witness is a clue to ponder ever-
till take the case and make it my own personal endeavor.
interview each villain, and I never give an inch
I notice all the ticks, and I explore each blink and finch
I ensure each alibi is honest; check each testimony,
and I find the real exception and expose it from the phony
What can the reader infer the junio detective deduces from a villain's ticks, blinks and tinches?
that the villain is lying to the junior detective
5
that he has solved the crime and found the culprit
that the crime being investigated never really happened
that there is no needence to be found for the time
Answer:
A). that the villain is lying to the junior detective
Explanation:
The readers can deduce that the detective cross-checks every statement or testimony given by villian and also notices his/her ticks and blinks in order to identify if he/she is lying ot trying to manipulate the case. It assists the readers in understanding how detective notices every action of the villian while interviewing to dig out the real truth and ensure that the real culprit is punished and no innocent suffers punishment. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
