2. Read through the following passage from "Most Dangerous Game," then thoroughly
answer this question in the box: Describe Rainsford's character. Cite evidence in your
response
Ten minutes of determined effort brought another sound to his
ears--the most welcome he had ever heard--the muttering and growling of
the sea breaking on a rocky shore. He was almost on the rocks before he
saw them; on a night less calm he would have been shattered against them.
With his remaining strength, he dragged himself from the swirling waters.
Jagged crags appeared to jut up into the opaqueness; he forced himself
upward, hand over hand. Gasping, his hands raw, he reached a flat place at
the top. Dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs. What perils
that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern
Rainsford just then. All he knew was that he was safe from his enemy, the
sea and that utter weariness was on him. He flung himself down at the
jungle edge and tumbled headlong into the deepest sleep of his life.
Question 2 answer (in RACE paragraph form)

the top."

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from Monster.

We see STEVE stand shakily and head back to the defense table. He looks out onto the onlookers and sees his parents. His MOTHER forces a smile and his FATHER makes a fist and nods emphatically. We see STEVE sit down, start to pick up a glass of water, and have to put it down because his hand is shaking so badly.

What can be determined from Steve's actions?
He loves his parents dearly.
He feels very worried.
He is not very thirsty.
He did not tell the truth.

Answers

Answer:

He feels very worried.

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from the drama novel "Monster" written by Walter Dean Myers. It tells the story of Steve Harmon, a teenager accused of murder. It is partially wriiten as a screenplay, where Steve writes in third person omniscient.

This particular excerpt shows a scene from the trial. We see that Steve is standing shakily, that his hands are also shaking and that his parents try to act supportive. From this, we can infer that Steve is quite afraid and worried.

Answer:

he feels very worried

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery. Based on this excerpt, the authors are most likely to attempt to answer which question? How did colonists challenge the rules of crowned kings? How did the Age of Sugar differ from the Age of Revolutions? When did Europeans decide to speak about equality? Why did some Europeans decide they wanted to speak out about slavery?

I live in the outskirts of a large city in western Canada. I live in the same place as a million other people. The dominant season for those so far north is winter. It can be so cold that the pine beetle freezes to death and our pines are saved from their ravaging destructive teeth. Other places, places with far more beauty and far more attractiveness, are punctuated by dead pine dotting the road side. We have special tires for winter: the snow can be feet deep and people clearing their walks and make piles of snow many more feet deep. Our insurance companies insist on winter tires; the snow is too treacherous, too slippery, too unfriendly just to rely on all season tires -- especially lately. The weather has changed.

We do have dogs. Some like winter, others tolerate it. Some play and frolic jumping up to grab the snow flakes, barking as they ascend, before the white hits the ground. They are active innocents who amuse us when we are out walking them. We meet others that we know and we stop to talk about the weather or our children or other neighborhood news. We are dressed with scarves covering our faces, but nothing hides the glow of our eyes as we welcome the company of those we know and like.

I've seen deep snow. I've seen well dressed people, prepared for winter and enjoying their pets, but I've never seen a dog sled or the kind of husky that would pull it. There are just too many people where I live. And I'll bet the same is true for you unless you live in Alaska or the Yukon.

In "Crossroads: A sad Vaudeville" what happens when the woman lifts her veil to reveal her aging appearance to the man? What does this event reveal about each of the characters?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

In the book titled Crossroads: A Sad Vaudeville', written by Carlos Solórzano

1.  When the Woman lifts her veil to reveal her aging appearance to the Man, the Man concludes that she is not the Woman he has been waiting to meet.

2. This event revealed the Man's confusion and his inability to discern the Woman's true identity. This was shown when the Man said to the Woman, "For a moment, I thought you were here," but he quickly rejects this impression as a "wild dream."

On the part of the Woman, it revealed the Woman's fear of rejection, which then ensures her endless loneliness. This was also shown when she asked the Man about concern of old age, loneliness, and fear of waiting for something that will never happen.

2. a course or compass direction, especially of an airplane
3. an array of data ordered so that individual items can be located
4. a quantity with the requirement that such quantities obey the law of addition

Answers

Answer: 1. any agent that acts as a carrier or transporter

Explanation:

The correct answer is 1. any agent that acts as a carrier or transporter. It is the correct answer because in this case ''A way to compare to others'' can mean that someone is having a force on influence on some other people. That is why that person can act as a transporter or carrier. Since he is comparing himself to other people, he will also try to copy them because he has a force on influence.

The word ''vector'' can represent many things and it is depending on the context where the word is used.  

Answer:

I believe the answer is 3. An array of data ordered so that individual items can be located.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the excerpt from part 2 of "Flowers for Algernon." They've been feeding Algernon, who now refuses to work the shifting-lock problem. Everyone identifies me with Algernon. In a way we're both the first of our kind. They're all pretending that Algernon's behavior is not necessarily significant for me. But it's hard to hide the fact that some of the other animals who were used in this experiment are showing strange behavior.

What does this excerpt foreshadow?

Charlie may be able to help Algernon.

Charlie may start becoming more intelligent

Charlie may be able to escape Algernon's fate

Charlie may start acting differently as well.

Answer:

Charlie may start acting differently as well.

Explanation:

Charlie is a man who has a mental disability that impairs his cognitive ability and leaves him with an IQ and a very low intelligence. He begins to participate in a scientific experiment that seeks to help him overcome this problem. The experiment was also done on some animals, including the Algernon mouse, which many people believed was similar to Charlie. Charlie recognized and agreed with these similarities and when Algernon started showing changes in his behavior, we can predict that Charlie will also show.

Answer:

the answer is C

Explanation:

the correct answer is "Charlie may start acting differently as well."
