Read the excerpt from Homecoming.

At half-past eight, Dicey herded everybody back into the mall, to use the bathrooms they had found earlier. Later, Sammy and Maybeth fell asleep easily, curled up along the back seat. James moved up to the front with Dicey. Dicey couldn't see how they were both to sleep in the front seat, but she supposed they would manage it. James sat stiffly, gripping the wheel. James had a narrow head and sharp features, a nose that pointed out, pencil-thin eyebrows, a narrow chin. Dicey studied him in the darkening car. They were parked so far from the nearest lamppost that they were in deep shadows.
With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though it was standing still, the car seemed to be flying down a highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was not deep enough to hide them. Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.

Based on the excerpt, which best describes Dicey’s mood?

A.She is very worried about what would happen to her family.
B.She is in denial about her family’s present circumstances.
C.She is trying to stay upbeat and carefree whenever possible.
D.She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all situations.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: D.She is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all situations

Explanation:

Based on the excerpted, Dicey’s mood was that she is having a hard time feeling safe in almost all situations.

We are told that even her brothers and sisters near, as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she still didn't feel safe.

irritable or short tempered

Answers

Answer:

Well, irritable means you are like grumpy. Short tempered means you get made easily always, like a short fuse! It depends on what and why you need it. The less "harsh" term is irritable. The more harsh term is short tempered.

Explanation:

To put it in a better view, when you are grumpy, or irritable, when you are hungry or sleepy, you get mad or frustrated quickly. But, when you are short tempered, you have trouble keeping your anger down. This is when you have a "short fuse"  they like to say. Now these may look similar, but they are much different. The only common thing is you get angry, or upset real easy. The causes are much different. However, you can prevent one, irritable, by getting the right sleep, and eating a balanced meals! Sometimes you need practice or a counselor most of the time when dealing with a short temper . Not always though, friends could also help, along with family!

What is one disadvantage of using a poster to present the information in “Stop Germs! Wash Your Hands”?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation!

Explanation:

A disadvantage of using a poster would that it may, potentially, go unnoticed. For example, if a poster was hung up in the busy halls of a school, the students may not take the time to study it because they are in a hurry to get to class.

Furthermore, most handwashing education takes place among younger children,  typically kindergarteners or 1st graders. If a poster was hung up in an elementary school with the goal of educating the younger kids, it may fail because many younger children do not know how to read yet. Hope this helps!

Answer:

to inform people of when, how, and why to wash their hands

Explanation:

most younger people should be more aware of this because when your young your immune system isnt fully developed and when you interact with door knobs/handles, controllers, etc. you are catching germs which is why it is important to always wash your hand before touching your mouth or face. so the answer is to inform people of when, how, and why to wash their hands

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.​

Answers

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

Read this passage from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address:
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget what they did here.
What does Lincoln think will be remembered?
A. What he wore
B. The soldiers' lives
C. His speech
D. His important words

Answers

Answer:

It is B

Explanation:

I got it right on the test

The soldiers' lives does Lincoln think will be remembered. Hence, option B is correct.

Why is the Gettysburg Address so famous?

Our ancestors founded a new country on this continent, conceived in liberty, and committed to the idea that all people are created equal, four score and seven years ago. We are currently fighting a major civil war to see how long-lasting that nation—or any nation so conceived and committed—can be.

In the midst of a Civil War that had divided the nation, the stirring and infamously brief Gettysburg Address was praised for reviving national ideals of freedom, liberty, and justice. According to Governor, "President Lincoln tried to mend a nation's wounds by defining what a nation should be."

The Gettysburg Address's key takeaway is that principles are worth dying for and that it is incumbent to the living to continue these ideals.

Thus, option B is correct.

Answer:

Explanation:

The roles and responsibilities played at home and both teens and adults.

Adults are generally charged with the coordination and managerial aspect of an establishment including our homes, this is because of the overall maturity which an adult is expected to portray, which is essential in keeping and running our homes.

Adults are expected to provide sustenance for the home in terms of food, clothes, bills and so on. The financial responsibility to a large ge percentage should rest on the shoulder of the male adult with the female coming in when necessary.

Also, managing the kids in terms of care and ensuring their well. Being rests largely on the female adults.

Security of the home is for the adults to oversee and the male should be in charge.

Teens are supposed to be taught by their parents and adult superiors how to be responsible. Hence, house chores such as dish washing, lawn mowing and other petty house chores should be assigned to them. The more draining ones such as lawn mowing to the male teens and the less strenuous to females.
