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: 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.

Explanation:

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 the meaning of The superior man thinks of virtue;the ordinary man thinks of comfort

Answers

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.

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

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.

Answers

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.

I am writing to notify you of the problem and to replace my product with a fresh one.

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?

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.
