Explanation:
The passage above is using the passive voice to express the actions performed. Since the passage concerns past actions, the passive voice in this case will consist of the verb to be in its past form plus the past participle of the main verb. We need to pay attention to the word that comes right before the blank, since it is according to it that we will choose if the verb to be should be singular or plural:
1. big pots of water were put - "pots" is the most important word in this subject.
2. the pots of hot water were carried.
3. All the washing was done.
Barney was a black male cat who used to live in our barn. But it wasn't long before Barney decided that the people feeding him every day
might be worth knowing. So he "moved in" now and then to snooze on an overstuffed chair, to wash himself on a soft rug, to climb into a lap for a
little petting, or to get an occasional handout after the people-dinner. Most nights, though, Barney preferred to stay outside prowling the area,
investigating new smells from the passers-by during the day, threatening the field mice who scampered at night, and keeping trespassers in the
form of other cats out of his territory.
Which statement can be made about Barney?
O 1. Barney would rather be indoors than outdoors.
02. Barney enjoyed his own independence.
03. Barney was friendly with other cats.
04. Barney preferred daytime prowling.
Answer:
I think the answer is #2 Barney enjoyed his own independence.
Explanation:
02. Barney enjoyed his own independence.

In what ways humans affect animals population?
Answer:
People affect animals through four broad types of activity: (1) people keep companion, farm, laboratory and captive wild animals, often while using them for some purpose; (2) people cause deliberate harm to animals through activities such as slaughter, pest control, hunting, and toxicology testing.
(3) people cause direct but unintended harm to
animals through crop production, transportation, night-time lighting, and many other
human activities; and (4) people harm animals indirectly by disturbing ecological systems
and the processes of nature, for example by destroying habitat, introducing foreign
species, and causing pollution and climate change. Each type of activity affects vast
numbers of animals and raises different scientific and ethical challenges. I
Human activities such as industrial development, logging, crop farming, livestock grazing, mining, road and dam building, pesticide use etc. have endangered wildlife populations.
What are the human impacts on animal populations?Humans are very responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. They use the animal for their benefit such as for logging, crop farming, livestock grazing, mining etc. thta cause habitat destruction and fragmentation.
There are so many human activities that have a bad effect on animals such as keeping animals as livestock, causing deliberate harm to animals, causing direct but unintended harm to animals, harming animals indirectly by disturbing ecological systems and so on.
Basically, humans have wiped out approximately 60 percent of the wildlife populations in the last four decades.

Read these two passages from The Phantom Tollbooth.
Passage 1:
"KILLING TIME!" roared the dog--so furiously that his alarm went off. "It's bad enough wasting time without killing it." And he shuddered at the thought. "Why are you in the Doldrums anyway--don't you have anywhere to go?"
Passage 2:
Milo began to think as hard as he could (which was very difficult, since he wasn't used to it). He thought of birds that swim and fish that fly. He thought of yesterday's lunch and tomorrow's dinner. He thought of words that began with J and numbers that end in 3. And, as he thought, the wheels began to turn.
One similarity between these passages is that the author uses a literary device in both to
illustrate the setting’s bizarreness.
illustrate the characters’ behavior.
create a realistic effect.
create a fantastic effect.
Answer:
illustrate the character's behavior.
Explanation:
'The Phantom Tollbooth' is a fictional novel written by Norton Juster. The novel is about Milo, a young boy who is exhausted with his life and daily going to school.
The literary device used in the given two passages shows similarities by illustrating the two characters of the novel. One is of 'Tock'- the watchdog and other is of 'Milo', the main character.
In first passage, the character is illustrated of Tock who scolds Milo for wasting time. When Milo asserts that he is killing time in Doldrums, Tock rebukes him and says that it is bad to even waste time and he is killing time. Being a watchdog, Tock dislike anyone wasting time.
The second passage illustrates the character of Milo. The passage asserts that it is difficult for Milo to think but he begins to think of something to get out of Doldrums and reach his destination. And, as he begins to think, he reaches to a place where birds swim, fishes fly, numbers walking, etc.

Read this excerpt from “The Medicine Bag.” “He carefully prepared for his quest with a purifying sweat bath, and then he went alone to a high butte top to fast and pray. After three days he received his sacred dream—in which he found, after long searching, the white man’s iron. He did not understand his vision of finding something belonging to the white people, for in that time they were the enemy. When he came down from the butte to cleanse himself at the stream below, he found the remains of a campfire and the broken shell of an iron kettle. This was a sign that reinforced his dream. He took a piece of the iron for his medicine bag, which he had made of elk skin years before, to prepare for his quest. “He returned to his village, where he told his dream to the wise old men of the tribe. They gave him the name Iron Shell, but neither did they understand the meaning of the dream. The first Iron Shell kept the piece of iron with him at all times and believed it gave him protection from the evils of those unhappy days. “Then a terrible thing happened to Iron Shell. He and several other young men were taken from their homes by the soldiers and sent far away to a white man’s boarding school. He was angry and lonesome for his parents and the young girl he had wed before he was taken away. At first Iron Shell resisted the teacher’s attempts to change him, and he did not try to learn. One day it was his turn to work in the school’s blacksmith shop. As he walked into the place, he knew that his medicine had brought him there to learn and work with the white man’s iron. “Iron Shell became a blacksmith and worked at the trade when he returned to the reservation. All of his life he treasured the medicine bag.” What is symbolic about the piece of the iron that Iron Shell keeps in his medicine bag? It represents a mixing of two cultures. It explains how Iron Shell became a blacksmith. It represents a young man giving up on his traditions. It explains the history of the reservation
Answer:
I believe the answer is "It represents the mixing of two cultures"
Explanation:
When Iron Shell found the piece of iron and was confused about the meaning and wasn't sure why a white mans possession would be of importance to him. When Iron shell went to the boarding school he resented the white people and did not want to have anything to do with the place or people because white men were of his culture's enemy. He realizes that the piece of iron led him to be a black smith and work with the white man's iron. So in the end Iron Shell had mixed his culture with the white man's culture by being black smith, and the iron shell piece is what led him there.
Answer:
The answer should be, it represents the mixing of two cultures, or A
