Read the following paragraph:

Paul was raised in a tough neighborhood by people who did their best to survive. He watched peer after peer, like Marco, succumb to the temptations of the streets. He watched other peers, like his brother Laurence, keep their heads down, try to dodge trouble as best they could, and grab the meager chances that came their way and hang on
with all their might. How could he explain why some went down one path and some another? How could he guess which path would be his?

What does the comparison between Marco and Laurence most clearly
illustrate?

A. An example of the character traits that lead to success or failure
B. How people in the same situation are very similar, despite their
different goals
C. The different options available to Paul in his own life
D. Paul's belief that personal success has purely individual causes

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Life is never easy.

Its all about how people accept it and live by it.

Marco gave into the dark and flowed with it while Lawrence was keen only just to survive and run out his days alive.

Situations are circumstantial and its always finally upto the people to make their own choices and live by it through its perks and downfalls.

It is for upto Paul now that if he would want to follow either of their footsteps or rather make his own path adjusting fighting thorugh the odds. Maybe even one day he could overpower the darkness shadowing their neighbourhood.

Thomas wanted to have a party to celebrate becoming a decade old. Knowing the meaning of the Greek root deca, how old is Thomas?

Answers

Answer:

Thomas is 10 years old.

Explanation:

The word "decade" is derived from the Greek root word "deca" meaning 'a group of ten'. So, we can easily assume that any word with that root word will be related to the number 10.

Thomas wants to celebrate his becoming a decade older. This means that Thomas is ten years old. The word "decade", means a number of ten years, or a period of ten years.

Thus, Thomas is 10 years old.

Did the leaders of civil rights movement present strong reasoning present strong reasoning and evidence when they decided against using claudette colvin as the representative of the bus boycott write an essay with evidence from claudette colvin twice toward justice

Answers

Rosa Parks was a great symbol of the struggle of the black population for civil rights, as we already know, Rosa refused to leave the chair where she was sitting on the bus, for a white person to sit. Although Parks' act was important, another black woman did it before her, Claudette Colvin.

Claudette Colvin, refused to get up from the bus seat nine months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. This happened when Claudette Colvin was a teenager and was coming home from school. The event caused Claudette to be removed from the bus in handcuffs, without even the right to keep her school books. However, Claudette Colvin is not mentioned as a symbol of resistance, it does not appear in history books and is not even mentioned by teachers.

This "forgetfulness," happened for several reasons. First, she didn't tell many people about what happened, but the main reason was that the leaders of the black movement believed that Rosa Parks would be a better symbol than Claudette Colvin. That's because Rosa Parks had a more attractive appearance and represented a middle class woman. Claudette Colvin, on the other hand, was a teenager and became pregnant after the event, being considered a bad example. The leaders of the civil rights movement believed that Claudette Colvin's image and history was not appealing and representative and because of this movement, made her experience something that should not be mentioned.

Based on this, we can consider that Claudette Colvin suffered a strong intolerance even within her community, but it is not too late for her to be cited and to have her relevance recognized.

This author uses a variety of methods to flow from one idea to the next in this passage, and to improve sentence fluidity. First, the author sets the pace of this moment by placing the reader in a moment in which the action is already happening, which is done by using the phrase "At last".

And sort them in my mind

The negative thoughts go on the left
And the happy things on the right
And there's a little corner saved just for you

Please let me know if you change your mind
Cause inside I'm falling
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
I realise how hard on you this must seem
But trust me
When I say its far, far worse for me

Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying

Give me a moment to get my cards in line
Cause I'm still trying to figure out
In what kind of order I should set them out
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt

I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
But a part of me wants to let you be
Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
But I should've woken up, woken up by now

Please, please be here for me dear
Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I cant stress enough how much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to
