Explanation:
Read the passage then answer the quiestion down below.
Switched-On Bach is a musical album recorded by Wendy Carlos in 1968. As one might expect, the album features selections written by the famous 18th-century composer, Johann Sebastian Bach. Yet, Switched-On Bach is unlike any classical album that came before it. Carlos performed Bach's songs using electronic synthesizers designed by Robert Moog. These synthesizers were among the first electronic instruments used in popular music. Because of its original sound, Switched-On Bach became one of the first classical albums to sell 500,000 copies. It also won three Grammies.
Despite its commercial success, the album received a mixed reaction when it was first released. Some critics felt that it ruined Bach's music. Many artists, meanwhile, were excited by the freshness of the strange new electronic sound. Suddenly, everyone wanted to use Robert Moog's synthesizers on their next records.

Imagine living in a town with only one bookstore.
You walk in to see one lonely book sitting on the only shelf.
Hungry, you walk down the street to the only fast food restaurant in town. Strangely, there’s only one kind of hamburger on the menu. You have no choice but to order that.
Then you go to your English class and find that you’re the only student this semester.
How boring life would be if there were only one of everything!
Well, never fear, plurals are here to save the day!
Just like the word "Glass" there are many different nouns, and all nouns have a plural form! For example: Glass → Glasses!
What are Nouns?
Web Definition: "a word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things ( common noun ), or to name a particular one of these ( proper noun )."
Nouns are singular, meaning they are only 1 thing, you know them as a naming word. It names a person, an animal, a place, or a thing!
Examples: Teacher, Dog, Restaurant, and baseball!
These are all nouns or singular words!
What are Plural Words?
Web Definition: "(of a word or form) denoting more than one, or (in languages with dual numbers) more than two."
Plural words are the opposite of nouns, they are not singular! Plural words are more than 1 thing.
Examples: Teacher's, Dog's, Restaurant's, Baseball's
These are all plural words or not singular words!
Fast Fun Facts:
▪The plural, gender-neutral form of nieces and nephews is niblings.
▪The word noun comes from a Latin word!

what is the best correction for the inappropriate shift in the verb tense in this passage
Answer:
B) Change "learned" to learn"
Explanation:
The reason for this is because it did not happen it's happening, and also you're not done with the camp (I believe it is a summer camp) so you're still learning and once you are done you have learned the skills to survive, as long as you continue you learn it.

Explain why there is no scientific basis for race. You must use at least two pieces of text evidence in your response.
Answer: It's been used to define and separate people for millennia. But the concept of race is not grounded in genetics. There is broad consensus across the biological and social sciences that race is a social construct, not an accurate representation of human genetic variation. Humans are remarkably genetically similar, sharing approximately 99.9% of their genetic code with one another.
Explanation: Race is a social concept, created by humans, and is not biologically provable using the criteria often meaningful in distinctions of race. As such, there is no scientific basis for the concept of race.

Exploring Text Structure and Relationships of Ideas - Part 5
In the essay you wrote during this lesson, you tied evidence to answer this question: Were these explorers mainly looking for personal gain or trying to advance people’s knowledge of the world?
For this assessment, you are going to narrow your focus. You will write two or three paragraphs answering this question: Did the search for wealth lead to the exploration of the Americas?
To answer this question, you will have to revisit the expeditions of Cortés, Pizarro, and Orellana. However, you will need to look at the information in these sections of the text in a new way. You will need to connect a specific cause (the search of wealth) with a specific effect (the exploration of the Americas).
To make the link from that cause to that effect, you will have to build a bridge of evidence. Use details and additional evidence from pp. 12–19 in the text to create a new Cause-and-Effect Chart. Give the chart the title Causes and Effects of Exploration of the Americas. As before, put causes in the boxes on the left. On the right, write the effect—the exploration of the Americas. Use your graphic organizer as a guide to write your paragraphs.
Plan this opinion piece like you did on the earlier one. Use the Writing Planner worksheet to plan. Be sure to include:
A strong introduction that presents your opinion on the issue,
Strong, well-organized reasons and plenty of good evidence to support them,
Transitions linking evidence,
A conclusion that effectively summarizes the information you have explained,

The Tree House
The brothers mowed lawns throughout their neighborhood to earn money to help pay for supplies. Carter and Anton had convinced their father to help them build a tree house last year, but snow covered the ground before they were able to get started.
Through much anticipation, Carter and Anton had waited and prepared, and they were ecstatic that it was finally time to dive into their project. First, they had to go to the lumber yard with their father and purchase the wood. They spent an entire weekend measuring, cutting, and assembling the wood to create the floor, walls, and roof; it was very exciting to see the lumber transform into a small house.
Every evening, Carter, Anton, and their father would spend several hours nailing pieces of wood together until the tree house was finally complete. Then they went to the paint store, where Carter and Anton took nearly two hours to agree on the color lime green. Painting their tree house sounded more fun that it was; the sanding, priming, and rolling paint on each section of the house was both challenging and time consuming.
After more than a month of hard work and dedication, the tree house was finally complete.
Which sentence should be added to introduce the narrative?
A.
Carter and Anton were very happy with how their tree house turned out.
B.
The two brothers were excited to shop for supplies for their treehouse with their father.
C.
Carter and Anton had spent two whole months designing the blueprints for their tree house.
D.
The two brothers worked on their tree house every evening until it was completed.
Part E If you were to randomly survey 50 people at 20 random locations across the country (such as parks, malls, restaurants, etc.), would this be a random sample? Why or why not?
Part F If you were to randomly survey 20 people at 50 randomly chosen high schools, would this be a random sample? Why or why not?
Answer:
I think so
Explanation:
So, for question one, 50 people across 20 random places, this would be pretty random. A random sample is sampling from people who have the exact same probablity of getting chosen. So if all the people are random, it should be a random sample. Now for question 2, this is a random sample. If you surveyed completely random people from completely random high schools, then the entire thing is completely random. Therefore, both scearios are random samples.
what is your standpoint on todays standards for education. answer in 2-3 sentences.
Answer:
Bad
Explanation:
I feel that today's education system is what that built a long time ago and needs a massive overhaul. Sitting in desks all learning information and translating it to paper is basically teaching people how to just listen and be a robot, we need a system that makes be their own creators and thinkers.
Answer: Horrible.
Explanation: Today's education does not appeal to the special intrests, needs, or habits of students. School is often seen as boring or frustraiting to students because of how they are taught. All students learn differently, and making them all learn a certain way doesn't help them academically.

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) Read Part Two of Article A on sea otters.
Sea otters are one of few tool-using mammals. They enjoy a diet of seafood, including sea urchins, mussels, clams, sea snails, and crabs. Sea otters will use rocks to break open their food. The rock acts as an anvil to crack open the shell. After diving down to find their food, sea otters hold the shells against their stomachs as they break them open. Sea otters have pouches of loose skin under each of their forelegs. This is where they keep their rock tool while not feeding. Sea otters are quite smart and will use other objects to help them open the shells of their prey. These include parts of the shell itself, driftwood, man-made objects, or even another shellfish. The use of seaweed as an anchor is another example of the sea otter using tools in its daily life.
Sea otters are well suited to live in the cold waters of the ocean. Both their ears and nostrils can close while diving. A sea otter's claws and teeth are also perfectly suited to their diet. Additionally, these furry creatures have a loose skeleton, which allows them to be very flexible when swimming and grooming. Their lungs are two-and-a-half times bigger than a similarly sized land mammal, which gives them the buoyancy needed to float on their backs.
Sea otters display many unique physical features and behaviors that make them extremely interesting animals. They play and interact with one another, showing a high level of intelligence. Both scientists and wildlife enthusiasts enjoy observing them. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to spot some of these fun, furry creatures along the shores of the Northern Pacific or, at the very least, at your local zoo.
How does the author's point of view that sea otters are smart affect the type of details included in the article?
The author describes the different tools sea otters find and use to survive.
The author explains that most sea otters have an enormous lung capacity.
The author explains the reason sea otters float on their backs most of the day.
The author includes facts about the number of sea otters that perform at zoos.

Explain the irony of each person having a name that no other individual in this particular community has. The Giver Chapter 6
When Johnny is attacked by the Socs, he is the only major character involved; however, Ponyboy describes how the greasers responded. Why is Ponyboy's description important?
Since you know how only some of the boys responded, you know the story is told from third-person limited point of view.
You know the most about how Johnny reacted, which only gives insight into his perspective.
The reader knows how most members reacted, which gives you insight into their perspective.
Since you know how all the boys responded, you know the story is told from third-person omnisicent point of view.
Answer:
c) The reader knows how most members reacted, which gives your insight into their perspective.
Explanation:
The description of how the other greasers reacted to Johnny being attacked by the Socs is important because it gives the reader insight into their perspective. The reader knows that they are all concerned for Johnny and are willing to help him in any way possible. This information helps to create a more well-rounded picture of the greasers and their relationships with each other
Answer a) is incorrect because the reader does not know how only some of the boys responded. The reader knows how all the boys responded, which means the story is told from third-person omniscient point of view.Answer b) is incorrect because the reader knows how all the boys responded, not just Johnny. This means that the story is told from third-person omniscient point of view.Answer d) is incorrect because the reader knows how all the boys responded, not just Johnny. This means that the story is told from third-person omniscient point of view.Read the passage.
First Steps
THE LANDING
As the lander hit, Maria drew a jagged breath, and her chest muscles clenched tight with anxiety. Captain Curran, the group leader, turned around and smiled at Maria and her five friends.
“All right,” he said with forced joviality. “Who wants to be the first of the generations born in space to set foot on a real planet?”
Maria waited for someone else to speak or raise their hand. Next to her, Allen just stared at the floor of the lander muttering, “Not me, not me.”
She glanced at Lily, who Maria had always known to be fearless, but Lily bit her lip and turned away. Javier looked positively gray, and the twins buried their faces in their hands. Someone would have to be first. Maria closed her eyes and took a few meditative breaths, waiting for someone else to volunteer, but the lander was silent.
FINDING COURAGE
The radio crackled to life. “Lander one, this is Mothership, do you copy?”
“Yes,” Captain Curran answered. “We’ve landed safely and are waiting to exit the lander, but there’s just a little…disagreement…over which pioneer wants to be the first to set foot on our new home.”
“Tell them there’s plenty for everyone to see, and they’re going to love it out there,” the voice on the radio responded. “I wish it were me instead of you; I miss the feel of real air on my face.”
Captain Curran flipped off the microphone. “You six have lived your entire lives in space, and it’s a great privilege to be the first of your generation to see a new planet. The others are watching; if you’re afraid, they’ll be afraid. Can’t any of you find the courage to set an example?”
Maria shifted uncomfortably in her seat and thought of her parents; they had traveled across the galaxy to find their family a new home, with clean air and good soil, and she knew this planet was for them. “I’ll do it, Captain,” she mumbled as she slipped out of her harness and rose out of her seat. Maria couldn’t shake the feeling of trepidation as she stood and watched the doors of the lander slide open.
A NEW WORLD
A burst of air hit Maria in the face. She scrunched up her nose as an unfamiliar assortment of odors hit her nostrils. Some smelled sweet, some disgusting, and some were just strange. There were never strange smells on the ship; everything was always the same there. What was it going to be like to live where things changed? The rest of the children gathered around the opening as she climbed down the ladder, and Maria tried to smile as she met their worried eyes. Then, suddenly, something crunched underneath her boots; she was standing on the surface of the planet, and it felt nothing like the smooth metallic halls that she’d known all her life.
Without letting go of the ladder, she turned around to look at the world around the lander. The soil was full of shapes and textures; there were some small, grainy pieces, then larger clumps that she could break with the toe of her boot. One piece was hard and smooth, and she let go of the ladder to pick it up. “Captain,” she called, “I think I’ve found a rock!”
The air was moving, and long, thin, green things bowed and danced. “Grasses,” Maria whispered to herself, remembering the videos in her science lessons. She let go of the ladder and took soft, slow steps and realized her arms and legs felt like they were full of lead. “Natural gravity,” she whispered to herself. She started to walk a little more quickly, getting used to the new sensation. She was doing what others had previously thought impossible—taking steps on a new world.
A creature with gossamer wings landed on her nose, and she crossed her eyes trying to get a good look at it. Something small and furry scurried across her feet as she spun in a slow circle. Inspired, she ran as fast as she could across the foreign soil; she’d never seen somewhere so big, and it was thrilling. Suddenly, a deep, low sound echoed around her.
“That’s the call of a hornbeast,” Captain Curran shouted from the bottom of the ladder. Maria glanced back and saw that he was helping her friends take tentative first steps in the new world. “Walk to your left a little, and there should be a stream—flowing water on the ground; they often go there to drink, the explorers say.”
She started to run in that direction and then paused. “Hurry up!” she yelled, unable to contain her enthusiasm. “Our new home is extraordinary!”
In the story “First Steps,” how does Maria's act of leaving the spaceship to explore the new planet affect the story?
It overwhelms her and she returns to the ship for safety.
She gains the respect of Captain Curran and the other children.
She encounters dangerous animals for the first time.
It gives her friends the confidence to join her.
Answer: I think that the captin Maria's act of leaving is because of maria even bothering in the spaceship of the childeren makes the return safety by the enthusiam that gives downstares the dangerous animal confidance!!!
