Explanation:
Read this excerpt from The Great Fire.
Several minutes passed before Schaffer looked up from what he was doing and saw flames leaping wildly into the black sky. The light was from a different fire after all; he'd been fooled because this new blaze was almost directly behind the still-flickering remnants of the Saturday October 7 fire.
He studied the flames, trying to determine their exact location. This wasn't easy because of the distance and tall buildings between him and the flames. In addition, the moonless sky was made even murkier by the swirling, smoky haze. Schaffer signaled down the speaking tube and had his assistant strike Box 342. This sent engines rumbling through the streets — to a location almost a mile away from the O'Learys' barn.
What caused Schaffer to instruct his assistant to strike Box 342, accidentally sending firefighters to the wrong place?
the leaping flames in the sky
the dark, hazy night and the tall buildings
the remnants of the previous fire
the loud, rumbling engines
Answer:
The Dark, Hazy night and the tall Buildings

Read the following paragraph. How does sentence 3 develop the main idea of the paragraph?
Gertrude Belle Elion was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in New York City.
She graduated from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in biochemistry in 1937.
Unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman, she took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist.
During this time she also took classes at New York University, where she earned a master's degree in 1941.
Because she could not devote herself to full-time studies, Elion never received a doctorate.
It shows how determined Elion was to learn more about biochemistry.
It supports the idea that Elion could not get accepted into colleges.
It shows how her different jobs helped her to be a better chemist.
It supports the idea that women can be very determined.
Answer: I think it may be A. (It shows how determined Elion was to learn more about biochemistry.)

Write a three paragraph story about a book you read I will give brainliest
I read the book "Watch Me". This book is categorized as a psycho-obsession thriller, and after reading it I can definitely agree that it fits this description. The book is about a college English teacher named Kate who is coming down from her prime as a writer herself. She has recently divorced her husband, which was described as long overdue. As her friend consistently tries to set her up with a man named Raul, Kate becomes distracted by one of her students. Said student is a mysterious but talented writer known as Sam, who, as the author reveals chapters in his point of view, appears to be not only extremely analytical and judgmental, but absolutely infatuated with Kate and her writing.
The chapters alternate between Kate and Sam's perspective and thoughts, and explore both of their personal struggles and development. Eventually Kate diverges from her taboo thoughts of Sam, and starts going out with Raul. Sam, meanwhile, has spent most of his time stalking Kate, in his free time getting into qualms with his addict mother. He sees Kate and Raul becoming close, and decides to do something about it. Raul is found duck taped and dead in his own home days later.
Sam continues his pursuit of Kate while Kate experiences emotional downfall, feeling separated from her friend after said friend becomes a mother, and her significant other turning up murdered. Sam is positive this will be forgiven when he pronounces his love for her, and throughout the story his mentality is warped. Sam finally invades Kate's home to confess to her, which, as expected, does not go well. She kicks him out and threatens to call the police, which sends Sam spiraling. He develops the idea that something is wrong with Kate, as he cannot understand why she won't give in to him. Sam shows up to school the next day with a gun. In the end, Sam shoots Kate and believes he has killed her, causing him to end his own life. The epilogue reveals that Kate survived, and never falls in love again, leaving her to only remember. I believe this ending may be a parallel to Romeo and Juliet, in a very twisted sense. However the similarities of one appearing to be dead and driving the other to kill themselves is still present.
hope this is what you're looking for!! I had fun writing this :)
In the following sentences, find the independent/dependent clauses, conjunctions, and tell me what type of sentence it is.
1. Many people enjoy soccer; however, Jenna does not.
2. Although it was thought to be unsinkable, the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, and that forever changed ocean travel and safety.
EXPLAIN WERE THE CLAUSES ARE!!!
Answer:
2-dependent clause; 1-independent clause; conjunctions are: however, although; both of them are declarative sentences.
Explanation:
2-A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. A dependent clause cannot be a sentence. They do not express complete thoughts, and thus cannot function as sentences. They are usually marked by dependent marker words. It is a word that is added to the beginning of an independent clause that makes it into a dependent clause. Marker Word (because, after, before, since, in order to, although, though, whenever, wherever, whether, while, even though, even if, etc.)
1-An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. An independent clause is a sentence. Independent clauses are clauses that express a complete thought. They can function as sentences. These are clauses that can function on their own. They do not need to be joined to other clauses, because they contain all the information required to be a complete sentence.
Conjunctions are linking or joining words that connect other words and phrases together.
A declarative sentence is the most basic type of sentence. Its purpose is to relay information, and it is punctuated with a period. For example:
The boy walked home.
I love honey.
He wants to eat cookies, but he doesn't know how to make them.
The cat is an indoor-only cat. The student left the window open. The cat noticed the window ajar. The cat escaped through the open window. The student caught the cat before it disappeared.
Which sentence represents the climax of the story?
The cat escaped through the open window.
The cat is an indoor-only cat.
The student left the window open.
The cat noticed the window ajar.
Answer:

However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey,1 completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.

Finding Your Everest
Many climbers take exception to the publicity surrounding Team Jordan. Everest
climber Todd Burleson summed it up by saying, “He’s got his whole life to climb
Everest. Being the youngest boy to climb is a fashionable, celebrity-oriented sort of
thing. But it’s not about the mountains. It’s like trying to get your PhD at ten.” Paul
Romero claims that he is fully aware of the risks. There is a fine line between
encouraging Jordan and pushing him too far, he says. He talked about the point where
Jordan might have “reached his maximum mentally, physically, and where the risk has
become too high.” He said, “Jordan has just not even come close to that point yet.”
QUESTION:
2. Is the evidence given by Todd Burleson sufficient to support his opinion that Jordan and his family are just publicity seekers? Explain your answer, being sure to cite evidence, particularly from the section that discusses Burleson (begins "Many climbers...").

Read the excerpt from "Paul Revere's Ride.”
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."
Who is speaking in this excerpt?
Paul Revere
Paul Revere’s friend
a British soldier
a townsperson
Answer:
A IS CORRECT
Explanation:
The correct option is A. Paul Revere is speaking in this excerpt.
When the British are approaching, Paul Revere advises his friend to use a lamp as a warning. Some locals are aware that the British troops will enter the city at night. The soldiers will arrive by water and march through the land in equal numbers.
What did Paul Revere yell?In early Boston, Paul Revere worked as a silversmith. He gained notoriety for his midnight trip to alert colonists to the British troops who were preparing for an assault. The anecdotal account has no genuine historical foundation, but it is believed that he cried "The British are coming, the British are coming!" while traveling.
The poem relates a portion of the fictitious story of Paul Revere and is narrated by the Wayside Inn's proprietor. In the poem, Revere instructs a friend to set up signal lanterns at the Old North Church in Boston's North End so he may find out if the British are going to attack by land or sea.
