Answer: In paragraph 6 of the first stave, "Marley's Ghost," Dickens uses a figure of speech called simile to describe Scrooge's character. In a simile two different things are compared using the words "as" or "like."

Explanation: For instance, we might say of someone that they're "as strong as an ox" or that they're "like a bull in a china shop" if they're behaving recklessly.

Read the sample student claim and the reasons listed for making this claim.

Claim: Although many people argue that medical testing on animals is a violation of animal rights, the benefits it yields for society far outweigh any argument that can be made.

Reason #1: Animal research has yielded both pain-relieving and life-saving drugs for humans.

Reason #2: Laws prohibit scientists from using animal-based research in cases where non-animal testing would produce equally clear and valid results.

Which piece of evidence would best support reason #1?

The history of using animals for research extends as far back as 322 BCE, when early Greek physician-scientists, such as Aristotle and Erasistratus, performed various experiments on living animals.
Animal research played an essential role in the development of Herceptin and Tamoxifen, two medications that have already saved the lives of thousands of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Even those who believe in testing on animals when it is necessary for vital medical research practice what is known as “the 3 Rs”—reduction, refinement, and replacement—to reduce the number of animals used for testing.
Biologists believe that chimpanzees share at least 98.4 percent of the same DNA as humans and gorillas share at least 97 percent, making primates a popular and likely choice for the testing of products intended for humans.

PLEASE ANSWER:
Read this excerpt from the introduction to Wheels of Change by Sue Macy.


When I was a kid, I took great pleasure in jumping on my bike and riding to the corner candy store about half a mile away. Although I had no knowledge of the part the bicycle had played as a vehicle of change for turn-of-the-20th-century women, I was acutely aware that it allowed this 1960s girl a unique measure of independence. On my bike, I could break free of the bonds that held me in my neighborhood to go buy Necco Wafers and candy necklaces and Atomic FireBalls. If I felt particularly adventurous, I could even ride a bit farther for a fresh ice-cream cone at Applegate Farm.


The author’s purpose for including this in the introduction is


to describe the research she conducted for Wheels of Change.

to explain the historical significance of bicycles.

to establish her credentials as an expert on bicycles.

to emphasize her personal appreciation for bicycles
