D. Compensatory education is the answer
Janet and William walked into the library, backpacks slung over their shoulders and their eyes glued to their phones.
"When is our paper due?" Janet asked.
William sighed. "Day after tomorrow. We better start." They both groaned. Each day for the past two weeks they had come to the library to work on the English paper. Each day for the past two weeks they had played games on their phones, sent very important text messages about the latest gossip, and stared at the walls. After two weeks, neither one had even pulled up the prompt for the paper.
William plopped down into a chair at a table near the window. Janet tossed her backpack onto an empty chair and sat down across from him. "Let's get this over with," she said, pulling her English binder out of the bag. Across the table, William was also pulling his binder out.
"Wilde Paper,"he read. Then he paused. "OH! I never noticed the 'e' on the end of Wilde. That makes a lot more sense. This will be about Oscar WIlde." Janet gave him an incredulous look that seemed to say, 'DUH!'
"What did you expect? We've been talking about Oscar Wilde for the past month now." It was true, too. They had spent the last month in English class reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, one of WIlde's most famous books. She began reading the assignment instructions.
"Go to the Hawkins Library on 22nd Street."
William rolled his eyes. "Check."
"Check out The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde." Janet stopped reading and looked at William. We may have killed ourselves by procrastinating so long. We have to read a whole book for this assignment."
William grimaced. "Maybe we won't." He continued reading the assignment sheet. "At the end of Act I, you will find your instructions."
Janet and William both stopped. "Whaa???" Janet was stunned. The title of the assignment said Wilde Paper, but the instructions had no information on writing a paper.
They sat there for nearly five full minutes staring at the assignment paper- as if looking harder at it would cause more normal instructions to appear.
Finally, William stood up. "I guess we go get the book. I hope it isn't as long Dorian was." William acted like he had hated The Picture of Dorian Gray, but in reality he had liked it. It was about a man who had his portrait painted and somehow his soul had entered the painting. So anything that happened to him, actually happened to the painting instead. He didn't age, but his painting did, etc. William found it a fascinating story and had truly enjoyed reading it. He enjoyed reading it so much, that Mrs. Hicks will give anyone who reads it and sends her a summary extra credit. In fact, if you can prove you read the entire book, Mrs. Hicks will put those points in place of an entire assignment or test.
Janet was already at the computer searching for the book in the system by the time William stopped thinking about Mrs. Hicks and her extra credit opportunity and started paying attention to reality again..
"Looks like the book is in the back section." Janet pointed to the section of the library the book was in. It was in an alcove back behind the Young Adult Fiction section. The pair headed back to the section and started looking for the book.
"I hope the library has several copies and that they aren't all checked out already." Janet looked up at him, horrified. That thought hadn't occurred to her. She got so tense that she breathed an audible sigh of relief when she found it, stuffed in the middle of the 'Y' section rather than the 'W's'.
"Okay," William said, "end of Act I." He started flipping the book to find the end of the first act.
Janet rolled her eyes again. "We are supposed to READ the first act, Will." He didn't listen and continued flipping.
"Here it is." In pencil, below the words 'End of Act I' was a note.
"The key to the garden is Jack's origin."
Janet looked at William incredulously. Think that will make sense if we read Act I?" William shrugged and flipped the book back to the beginning.
After they read Act I, Janet looked up from the book. "I think it means the garden of the library. Look! That door has a lock on it." William pulled up the lock.
"Eight characters. Looks like we need seven letters and symbol of some sort. Jack's origin. What could that mean?"
Read Act I. Find Jack's origin and enter it as the password to get to The Garden.
Answer: Are supposed to read it?

how does one go about defining good and evil?
Answer:
There is no good nor evil. Say you are on the "evil side", you obviously think you're fighting for a rightful cause, something that benefits you. Same thing for the good side. Its all about ones intent on their actions. For example, you wouldn't steal a $50 dollar bill if you saw someone just drop it (at least I hope you wouldn't).

Why do you think superstitions and conspiracies are so powerful? Explain.
Answer:
Here's why.
Explanation:
I believe that superstitions and conspiracies are powerful because they set up a form of hypothesis for others to try to prove right or wrong. When no natural cause can explain a situation, attributing an event to a superstitious cause may give people some sense of control and ability to predict what will happen in their environment. Conspiracy theories are powerful because they promise to satisfy important social psychological motives that can be confusing and hard to answer.

The first stanza of Williams poem, “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” begins with: "According to Brueghel/ when Icarus fell/ it was spring."
Using these three lines, predict what you think Brueghel could possibly be. After you have written down 2-3 ideas, complete a mini-research project, drawing on both print and online sources, to research who or what Brueghel is and why he would be referenced here. Write a paragraph about what you learn about Brueghel in your journal.
According to the final three lines of the poem, we can see that the theme of the poem to death is irrelevant to the world and presents itself as an unnoticed splash for those who are not participating in this moment, but are following their lives in the best possible way. In other words, we can say that death is insignificant for those who are alive.
According to the poem and the illustration we can conclude that our suffering, represented by the pain and agony that Icarus felt, only concerns ourselves and only impacts our own life, since the people around us are busy with their own activities, however this does not diminish the size and strength of what we are going through.
Which of the following elements can be used to change the word order, the sentence pattern, or the sentence type to add variety? Select all that apply.

absolute phrases
more complex synonyms for basic words

Students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who must choose their wardrobes. This is because school uniforms allow students and their parents to save money and time. The financial investment in uniforms at the beginning of the school year is far more economical than the purchase of an entire wardrobe of designer clothes and trendy styles. Students who do not have to deliberate what to wear each morning are able to invest their time in more productive ways, such as studying for tests or finishing homework. Uniforms may stifle students’ self-expression, but there are many other ways for them to reveal their individuality at school.
Which fact best supports the author’s position?
On average, school uniforms cost $150 a year, which is much less than the average spent on back-to-school clothes.
Parents have the right to exempt their children from wearing school uniforms, but they must meet with an administrator to discuss the issue.
In 1994, a school district in California implemented a school uniform policy in grades K-8, which affected more than 60,000 students.
To assist schools in establishing a uniform policy, the US Department of Education has created an online manual.

Immigrants: Should the US allow in migrants who are trying to cross into America for a better life, even if they are illegal?
Answer:
I don't know if this is just a personal answer thing, but for me, the US should of course allow legal immigrants to enter the US, but should have a different process for Illegal Imagrants.
Explanation:
Without a border (with Mexico and America), drugs, gangs, and human trafficking occur. Of course, this could also block good people from coming in trying to have a better life. There is no perfect answer for this, but again, personally, I think that there should be a different system for these Mexican Immigrants.
Find the error with subject-verb agreement. Select the incorrect verb and type it correctly. On the basketball court nothing faze Martina She has a singular focus driving up the score for her team
Answer:
The error with subject-verb agreement is highlighted below:
On the basketball court, nothing fazes Martina. She has a singular focus: driving up the score for her team.
Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement refers to the verb adjusting itself to the subject. If the subject is plural, the verb is also plural. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. Take a look at the examples below:
- Leslie goes jogging every morning. → Leslie - singular subject; goes - singular verb.
- They go swimming every Saturday. → They - plural subject; go - plural verb.
In the sentence we are analyzing here, there is an error with the subject-verb agreement. The subject is "nothing", which is singular, but the verb is "faze", which is plural. To correct this error, we must add -s to "faze", since verbs referring to the third person singular in the present tense need -s, -es, or -ies.
The corrected sentence is:
On the basketball court, nothing fazes Martina.

Based on this excerpt, what can readers infer about the stories the fishermen were told about the barbarians
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question.
Eleven eyes. When at last he dared to look up, what he noticed was their eyes. Each pair a different color: green as a stormy sea, blue as the sky, black as night, or brown as his own. One man had only one eye, and that one as gray as a cloudy day. The other eye was covered with a patch.
There did not seem to be any tails, horns, or fangs among them. There were some alarmingly hairy faces and plenty of big noses, though!
Six big noses, in fact: one long and hooked, two long and straight, one squashed and wide, one turned up at the end, and another as big and red as a radish.
Based on this excerpt, what can readers infer about the stories the fishermen were told about the barbarians
The stories are completely true.
The stories lack detail.
The stories are completely false.
The stories are exaggerations
Answer:
The stories are exaggerations
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai, the narrator uses hyperbole to describe the barbarians, according to the fishermen. The fishermen say that the barbarians had eleven eyes, with each eye having a different color, six big noses of different sizes and shapes, amongst others
Therefore, based on this excerpt, what the readers can infer about the stories the fishermen were told about the barbarians is that the stories are exaggerations

I would say anything debatable, if we use a real world topic like the death penalty. you could argue for it to be mandatory or to abolish it. If you want a lighter subject like pineapple on pizza (might not want to use this one if your doing a serious assignment) you could argue it doesn't belong and put the effects. I would find a controversial topic and see if you like it.

Liv Arnesen's attitude towards eating oatmeal is mixed one. In the article, she shares that how she 'dread' eating the unappealing mixture of cooking oil and meal, which would leave her mouth with an 'oily residue.'

Rainforests
Rainforest ecosystems are located near the equator. The weather in a rainforest is warm and humid (moisture in the air) all year long; it rains more than any other area. Rainforests produce a majority of Earth’s oxygen supply.
Rainforests are known for having many living things. There are thousands of different species of animals and plants. Creatures thrive in the climates of the rainforest. The rainforest includes a variety of animals: monkeys, tree frogs, jaguars, different species of birds, and an abundance of a variety of insects.
There are three layers of the rainforest. The top layer is the canopy of the rainforest. This layer has mature (grown) trees and branches. The canopy blocks much of the sun. The next layer is called the understory. This layer includes bushes and growing trees. It is home to many different birds, reptiles and small animals. The last layer is the forest floor. This layer includes shrubs, vines, leaf clutter, and is home to insects and other animals including large predators.
Rainforests are important to our earth because they produce oxygen and are the homes to many plants and animals.
