Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

An independent possessive is an independent possessive that does not precede a noun, as in "It is my pencil", but stands alone: "It is mine". The independent possessive is only used when a possessor is a person.

Explanation:

Mine, ours, yours, his, hers and theirs are the independent possessive pronouns. They are not immediately followed by a noun. You can think of them this way: they are independent because they don't need a noun after them.

Possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone. The possessive pronouns are my, our, your, his, her, its, and their. There's also an “independent” form of each of these pronouns: mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.

Examples:

My phone is dead. Pass me yours.

Did you know that Labrador is mine?

The house on the corner is theirs.

Do you notice that all of the possessive nouns are at the end? That means it is an independent possessive.

Hope this helped!

Answers

In Act One, Mr Frank feels he needs to repay the Van Daan family because Mr Van Daan :

A. Aided the frank family when they came to Holland

B. Brought a large supply of food to the hiding place

C. Werner the frank family to hide from the nazis

Answers

Answer:

A. Aided the frank family when they came to Holland.

Explanation:

"The Diary of A Young Girl" was written by a young Jewish girl named Anne Frank. This diary, though it covers only a short period of time, would later become one of the most important and evidence for the Nazi's regime under Hitler and their racial discrimination of the Jewish people. And the play "Anne Frank" is based on the life-in-hiding of this girl and her family.

When the Franks first came to Holland in Amsterdam in 1945, they were unable to get by easily due to the language barrier. But Mr. Van Daan helped them, which would become one deciding factor for the Franks to help and allow the Van Daans to be with them in hiding. By allowing them into the hiding place at the Secret Annex, Mr. Frank feels he needed to repay Mr. Van Daan for helping him when he needed help the most and this was his way of doing the same in return.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

For thousands of years, one precious gemstone has been a favorite of church leaders and royalty. The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and the Bible all made references to this stone. At one point in history, it was worth even more than diamonds. What is it? It's the amethyst. Which of these statements is an example of explicit information?

Answers

Answer:  It's the amethyst.

Explanation:

Explicit information refers to clear and concise information. It is not implied such that the recipient would have to figure it out.

In the text above, all the sentences were implicit information except the last one as they alluded to a gemstone without naming the gemstone thereby making their information implied.

The last statement explicitly states that the gem is Amethyst instead of implying it.

Read the line from "Hold Fast Your Dreams."

Where doubt and fear are not.

What does the word doubt mean as used in the poem?


A-belief

B-hope

C-uncertainty

D-disappointment

Answers

Answer:

C- Uncertainty.

Explanation:

Louise Driscoll's poem "Hold Fast Your Dreams" talks about being positive despite any bad circumstance. The poem basically reminds its readers to be hopeful and always never lose hope for their dreams.

The line "where doubt and fear are not" is taken from the first stanza of the poem. And the word "doubt" as used in the poem means uncertainty. The speaker advises to "keep one still, secret spot" in one's heart and where there is no uncertainty or fear.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:

Explanation:

"Uprising" is a novel written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The story is based on the true events of "The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire."

The novel has three main characters– Bella, Yetta, and Jane. When the building catches fire, in the novel, everyone rushes towards the stairs to reach the roof to escape the fire. Some try to use escalators and some stairs. But the fire was fierce enough to consume everyone. The novel had only one survivor– Bella.

Therefore, each character in the novel is rushing towards the roof to escape the fire.

However, the other heading like THE FUTURE OF THE REEFS,  BENEATH THE AZURE WATERS LIES A LOST COLONY etc. are also apt but one would not be able to understand that here the author is talking about the reef in danger.

According to Reynolds, what’s the flaw in thinking of college graduates as birds ready to spread their wings and take flight?

Answers

Answer:

The flaw in that reasoning is that not everyone actually has wings, therefore, they can not even fly in the first place.

Explanation:

Jason Reynolds at his commencement address at Lesley University, in 2018 explained that he was aware that many other speakers before him have encouraged the students to fly and excel in the world. He, however, noted that not all actually had the wings to fly. Some had distorted wings or had totally lost theirs due to several circumstances of life.

At the end of his speech, he urged those who had broad wings to fly to always remember those who do not have wings or who have distorted wings, so that they may carry them along.

"I think anyone should be able to express themselves however they would like. Body image, culture, and peer pressure are all big problems with expression. The thing is, we're all human. It honestly doesn't matter who we love, where we come from, or what we look like. In schools, a lot of girls are dress coded, simply for being themselves. Boys dont really have this problem. It really shouldn't matter what someone is wearing, because what matters is what is inside the person. If a boy wants to wear a skirt, let him. If a girl wants to wear pants, let her. We are not defined by how we look, and its stifling to be taught a certain way to dress at such a young age."
