Answers

The Statue of Liberty - Symbol

Immigrant Americans - Audience

Support the US government by buying bonds - Message

Nostalgic and patriotic - Mood and tone

Explanation:

I have been to place the tiles to their correct pairs.

The Liberty Loan was brought up the US Government in order to sell war bonds which is also known as Liberty Bonds. This took place during World War I in order to defray the war expenses. The Act was first passed in April 1917.

Actually, in the poster, the Statue of Liberty is the symbol to buttress the Liberty Loan and the audience are the immigrant Americans. The message that was being passed was informing the audience to support US Government by buying bonds. The mood was nostalgic but tone was patriotic.

Select the piece of evidence that best supports this claim.

Answers

Answer:

Electric cars require much less maintenance than gas-powered cars (choice 1)

Explanation:

The claim "Electric cars are superior to gas-powered cars" needs to be supported with a piece of evidence that shows why electric cars are better than gas-powered cars. Between the two options, the first one is the only one that is in support of electric cars, because it talks about how they require less maintenance than gas-powered cars. However, the second option points out a flaw of electric cars, which is their range as compared to gas-powered cars. Therefore, the first option is correct.

Answer: Choice A

Explanation:

Choice A lists a positive aspect about electric cars not needing as much maintenance compared to gas powered cars. This could be perhaps due to the less moving parts. Though I think as time goes on, electric cars may wear out at around the same rate compared to gas powered cars. I'm not too familiar with the tech, so I would get a second opinion.

Choice B mentions how electric cars can't drive very far, and need frequent recharges. This is a negative statement that would make someone not an electric car and would likely make them think that gas powered cars are better. So this means we can rule out choice B.

How does social class affect how people in different parts of Panem perceive the games? What are examples of how social classes bring people together in the games?

Answers

Answer:

hi I hope my answer is helpful in anyway.

Explanation:

Social class affects people in different parts of Panem because the richer you are the less you see of the poor Districts, money is significant in the society of Panem. The richer you are in the world of Panem the less you need to worry about the poor people at the bottom because they mean nothing to you. Capitol residents have often been said to treat the Hunger Games-like a celebrated sporting event and a highly anticipated source of entertainment and past time. It is like a reality show, the rich people at the top don’t think of how much the Districts have struggled, even if they did, they see it as a form of entrainment, like a dramatic back story in a TV show.

The people of the Districts are brought together in the games to fight each other, their social status is pretty much the same, inferior to the Capital. They can bond over it for a bit and may even find a way to rebel (as seen in the second book). Like how people with common ground can come together, the Districts come together because of the games and how they are forced to fight in them. The same with the Capital, the Capital residents come together because of the games, giving money and items to their favorite triubutes, and betting on which one will win.

The puppies curled up in a tight ball together, induced into a state of wrath by an extended game of fetch.

Answers

Answer: If Ben does not keep his side of the room clean, he will face the wrath of his twin brother

Explanation:

The correct sentence is: If Ben does not keep his side of the room clean, he will face the wrath of his twin brother. Option (c) is correct.

What do you mean by wrath?

Wrath is the intense rage that manifests as a desire to exact revenge on someone.

A full notion in grammar is a phrase. The subject, which can be a noun or a pronoun, and the predicate, which is a verb, are the two parts of every sentence.

The subject, predicate, and occasionally direct or indirect objects of a sentence are placed together according to sentence structure. The principles for sentence construction are straightforward yet unbending. They include the requirements that each sentence have a subject, predicate, and object (in that sequence).

Therefore, Option (c) is correct.

This is the opening extract of the novel, The Woman In Black. In this extract, the narrator discusses what his life is like now, long after a traumatic ordeal with a ghostly woman who stole the life of his only son.
CHRISTMAS EVE
It was nine-thirty on Christmas Eve. As I crossed the long entrance hall of Monk’s Piece on my way home from the dining room, where we had just enjoyed the first of the happy, festive meals, towards the drawing room and the fire around which my family were now assembled, I paused and then, as I often do in the course of an evening, went to the front door, opened it and stepped outside.
I have always liked to take a breath of the evening, to smell the air, whether it is sweetly scented and balmy with the flowers of midsummer, pungent with the bonfires and leaf-mould of autumn, or crackling cold from frost and snow. I like to look about me at the sky above my head, whether there are moon or stars or utter blackness, and into the darkness ahead of me; I like to listen for the cries of nocturnal creatures and the moaning rise and fall of the wind, or the pattering of rain in the orchard trees, I enjoy the rush of air towards me up the hill from the flat pastures of the river valley.
Tonight, I smelled at once, and with a lightning heart, that there had been a change in the weather. All the previous week, we had had rain, chilling rain and a mist that lay low about the house and over the countryside. From the windows, the view stretched not farther than a yard or two down the garden. It was wretched weather, never seeming to come fully light, and raw, too. There had been no pleasure in walking, the visibility was too poor for any shouting and the dogs were permanently morose and muddy. Inside the house, the lamps were lit throughout the day and the walls of larder outhouse and cellar oozed damp and smelled sour, the fires sputtered and smoked, burning dismally low.
My spirits have for many years now been excessively affected by the ways of the weather, and I confess that, had it not been for the air of cheerfulness and bustle that prevailed in the rest of the house, I should have been quite cast down in gloom and lethargy, unable to enjoy the flavour of life as I should like and irritated by my own susceptibility. But Esme is merely stung by inclement weather into a spirited defiance, and so the preparations four our Christmas holiday had this year been more than usually extensive and vigorous.
I took a step or two out from under the shadow of the house so that I could see around me in the moonlight. Monk’s piece stands at the summit of land that rises gently up for some four hundred feet from where the little River Nee traces its winding way in a north to south direction across this fertile, and sheltered, part of the century. Below us are pastures, interspersed with small clumps of mixed, broadleaf woodland. But at our backs for several square miles it is quite a different area of rough scrub and a heathland, a patch of wildness in the midst of a well-farmed country. We are but two miles from a good-sized village, seven from the principal market town, yet there is an air of remoteness and isolation which makes us feel ourselves to be much further from civilization.

Today's Lesson: Hip-Hop by Anita Perry

Year after year, most literature classes cover the same authors and genres. It’s time that educators made a change. For teachers to keep current and engage students, we must allow students to read diverse texts from their own generation. As a first step, hip-hop should be included in the literature curriculum.

This suggestion is not as odd as it may seem. After all, hip-hop is simply another form of poetry, as are all song lyrics. The verses of hip-hop have rhyme schemes, rhythms, and meters. In addition, hip-hop lyrics deal with the same timeless themes as other forms of poetry, including heartache and the challenges of growing up. In many ways, today’s hip-hop artists are contemporary versions of William Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson, only with a modern, fresh perspective...

The Girl in the Picture

I loved to look at the old photographs, especially the ones with me in them. I suppose that was bad of me and proved I was stuck on myself, but I couldn't help it. The pictures with me in them were just more interesting. Every stage of my life was there, snapped by the camera and stamped on a glossy piece of paper. I loved seeing myself at three, standing with my brother, Donald, in front of the house in our matching cowboy and cowgirl outfits, or standing on a chair in front of the kitchen counter, mixing a birthday cake for Mother. The pictures reminded me that I was real, that I always had been real and always would be real, and that I wasn't just some girl someone had made up.

Which two statements best express themes in the passage?

Answer:

The two statements that best express themes in the passage are:

Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.  

Joy comes from looking back on the past.

Explanation:

The narrator in the passage clearly derives happiness from looking at the pictures. Photos allow her to remember, to watch herself grow and change. And a sense of worth comes from it, since watching her own history pictured like that makes her realize how true it all is. She is a real person, with a real history. Being able to see that, being reminded of that, makes her happy. Therefore, the two themes expressed in the passage are:

Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.

Joy comes from looking back on the past.
