The author of this passage explores the idea of a four day school week.
Identify one argument that explains an advantage, and one argument that
presents a disadvantage, of a four day school week. Be specific. Your
examples should come directly from the text. Be sure that your response
is written with correct grammar and punctuation."
Answer:
One argument that explains an advantage:
✔️Improvement of attendance of both student and faculty while slashing energy bills.
An excerpt from the text:
"Schools that have been using the program for several years report improvement in the attendance of both students and faculty, while slashing their energy bills".
One argument that presents a disadvantage:
✔️A gap between classes could result to a drop in retention of lessons.
An excerpt that supports that:
"Others complain that students should be spending more time in school, fearing that such a gap between classes could lead to a drop in retention of lessons."
Explanation:
From the text, the author revealed different arguments about the four days school week program that shows both advantages and disadvantages. Supporters of this program testified that there was increase in attendance and it led to slashing of energy bills. Also, students had higher scores in state exams. But yet, opponents of this program see it as something that will lead to a drop in the retention of lessons.
But many consider that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
What is the theme?
I was climbing up a mountain-path
With many things to do,
Important business of my own,
And other people's too,
[5]
When I ran against a Prejudice
That quite cut off the view.
My work was such as could not wait,
My path quite clearly showed,
My strength and time were limited,
[10]
I carried quite a load;
And there that hulking Prejudice
Sat all across the road.
So I spoke to him politely,
For he was huge and high,
[15]
And begged that he would move a bit
And let me travel by.
He smiled, but as for moving! —
He didn't even try.
And then I reasoned quietly
[20]
With that colossal mule:
My time was short — no other path —
The mountain winds were cool.
I argued like a Solomon;
He sat there like a fool.
[25]
Then I flew into a passion,
and I danced and howled and swore.
I pelted and belabored him
Till I was stiff and sore;
He got as mad as I did —
[30]
But he sat there as before.
And then I begged him on my knees;
I might be kneeling still
If so I hoped to move that mass
Of obdurate ill-will —
[35]
As well invite the monument
To vacate Bunker Hill!
So I sat before him helpless,
In an ecstasy of woe —
The mountain mists were rising fast,
[40]
The sun was sinking slow —
When a sudden inspiration came,
As sudden winds do blow.
I took my hat, I took my stick,
My load I settled fair,
[45]
I approached that awful incubus
With an absent-minded air —
And I walked directly through him,
As if he wasn't there!
Answer:
The theme of the passage is: Somebody hiking.
Explanation:
He or she, is hiking the reason how I know is that in the beginning of the passage it says I was climbing a mountain-path which usually means that you are hiking up a mountain.
Flight 1 When Robert was a little boy, he wanted nothing more than to see a hawk flying across the sky. Or to see an eagle, an osprey, or a falcon! Robert loved to think about large birds with great yellow talons, soaring across the sky and seeing every corner of the earth that people could not see. 2 But Robert lived in the city, where such birds were never seen. He used to fall asleep at night imagining a hawk’s wings forming arcs across a great big blue sky, which he pictured as a wide, open field where no legged animals could run but only winged animals could soar. As he drifted into dreams, the birds in his imagination morphed into dragons and pterodactyls and all manner of ancient or other- worldly flying creatures. Robert would wake in the morning smiling at the thought of this big blue field in his dreams. But he spent each day on the subway and walking along crowded sidewalks and looking up between tall buildings where he could catch only a sliver of blue. 3 As he got older, Robert tried to forget about his dreams and focus all his attention on his studies. At school, he took the hardest classes he could and was in advanced placement math and science before long. He decided that if he could not see hawks and eagles and falcons in their natural habitat, he would learn everything he could about how those animals worked. He loved to think about how lessons from birds had led to the first experiments in human flight and the development of airplanes. 4 Robert devoured books about the inventors of the airplanes and the physics that made air travel successful. His devotion to this topic confused his parents, who saw in him a smart and eager child who could study medicine or the law and have a good career. 5 “Stop daydreaming about birds!” they would say to him. 6 But Robert continued to spend as much time as he could learning about what made flying possible. 7 Sometimes, even as he was older - a college student now, living in a cramped dorm-room with three other boys his age - Robert would drift off to sleep imagining that big open sky filled with hawks and osprey and dragons. He knew it was silly, but he held on to that image. It filled him with hope for something he couldn’t quite name. He would ask himself what he was hoping for. 8 “Do I want to see a hawk or an eagle or a falcon, or do I hope to someday fly like one of them myself?” Robert would say, to no one other than himself. 9 The college Robert attended was also in the city, and he hadn’t found a way to travel outside of it yet. He still could only dream about that big blue field above. 10 One day, just before graduation, Robert got a phone call from someone he didn’t know. When he answered, the voice on the other end made an unusual announcement. 11 “I’m looking for someone to test fly a new airplane I’m developing,” the voice said. “Professor Jackson gave me your name. He said he had never had another student as devoted to the art of flying as Robert Smith. Would you be interested in coming in to learn more about my new plane?” 12 Robert jotted down the address and date of the interview, and hung up the phone smiling. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and picture the big blue field, filled with all manner of flying creatures. Maybe soon he would be among them. 1. Which sentence from the story best illustrates its central conflict? When Robert was a little boy, he wanted nothing more than to see a hawk flying across the sky. Robert would wake up in the morning smiling at the thought of this big blue field in his dreams But he spent each day on the subway and walking along crowded sidewalks and looking up between tall buildings where he could catch only a sliver of blue.

Explanation:
We, the undersigned scientists, have been working in the field of atomic power. Until recently, we have had to fear that the United States might be attacked by atomic bombs during this war and that her only defense might lie in a counterattack by the same means. Today, with the defeat of Germany, this danger is averted and we feel impelled to say what follows:
The war has to be brought speedily to a successful conclusion, and attacks by atomic bombs may very well be an effective method of warfare. We feel, however, that such attacks on Japan could not be justified, at least not unless the terms which will be imposed after the war on Japan were made public in detail and Japan were given an opportunity to surrender.
If such public announcement gave assurance to the Japanese that they could look forward to a life devoted to peaceful pursuits in their homeland and if Japan still refused to surrender our nation might then, in certain circumstances, find itself forced to resort to the use of atomic bombs. Such a step, however, ought not to be made at any time without seriously considering the moral responsibilities which are involved.
The development of atomic power will provide the nations with new means of destruction. The atomic bombs at our disposal represent only the first step in this direction, and there is almost no limit to the destructive power which will become available in the course of their future development. Thus a nation which sets the precedent of using these newly liberated forces of nature for purposes of destruction may have to bear the responsibility of opening the door to an era of devastation on an unimaginable scale.
If after this war a situation is allowed to develop in the world which permits rival powers to be in uncontrolled possession of these new means of destruction, the cities of the United States as well as the cities of other nations will be in continuous danger of sudden annihilation. All the resources of the United States, moral and material, may have to be mobilized to prevent the advent of such a world situation. Its prevention is at present the solemn responsibility of the United States—singled out by virtue of her lead in the field of atomic power. . . .
In view of the foregoing, we, the undersigned, respectfully petition: first, that you exercise your power as Commander-in-Chief, to rule that the United States shall not resort to the use of atomic bombs in this war unless the terms which will be imposed upon Japan have been made public in detail and Japan knowing these terms has refused to surrender; second, that in such an event the question whether or not to use atomic bombs be decided by you in light of the considerations presented in this petition as well as all the other moral responsibilities which are involved.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. How would you sum up the scientists’ purpose in petitioning the president?
2. How would you describe the tone of the petition?
3. Under what circumstances do the writers say that use of the atomic bomb against Japan might be justified?
4. What “solemn responsibility” does the U.S. bear, according to the scientists? Why?
5. What does the petition add to your understanding of the Atomic Age and the present nuclear threat, as outlined in the Upfront article?
Answer:
1. The scientists purpose in petitioning the president was informal if this is and english term of purpose. If this is for the whole as a purpose than it is to forwarn him not to make brash decisions.
2. The tone is somber and serious.
3. Under full warning and after the choice has been scruninized with attention to moral detail.
4. To prevent people going mad with the power of atomic bombs in the case that they may become available elsewhere.
5. The United States scientists thought further ahead then I ever knew they did in this patent. The Atomic Age was a solemn event and precautions were taken to attempt a more peaceful means.

i need a well-written summary about the Greek god Apollo. and pls hurry!
Answer:
APOLLON (Apollo) was the Olympian god of prophecy and oracles, music, song and poetry, archery, healing, plague and disease, and the protection of the young. He was depicted as a handsome, beardless youth with long hair and attributes such as a wreath and branch of laurel, bow and quiver of arrows, raven, and lyre.
and one more...
Apollo is one of the most popular gods, and everybody wants to worship him (back in ancient Greece he was a total rock star). Is it because he's the god of music and rocks out on the lyre? Is it because he's the god of prophecy and everybody wants to know the future? Who knows? But the bottom line is that Apollo is the coolest kid in school

Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
In the next few years following the publication of his book, Champollion deciphered many more hieroglyphs. He was named "Keeper of the Egyptian Collections" in Paris in recognition of his accomplishments. Then, in 1829, he got what he had always wanted. With the backing of the French government, he journeyed to Egypt to see the ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions for himself.
What inference can readers make based on the details in the excerpt?
Only the French recognized Champollion for his accomplishments in deciphering hieroglyphics.
The French government considered Champollion’s work to be a significant achievement.
Champollion published a book just so he could take a free trip to Egypt.
Champollion had to see the hieroglyphics in person to be able to write about them.

Is there a tension between personal identity and social acceptance in real life? How successful was the author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian in convincing you that holding onto your inner identity can lead to wider social acceptance?
Answer:I think there is some truth to the author’s handling of this theme. If you abandon your identity to seek social acceptance, you eventually end up standing for nothing. And if you stand for nothing, you’re basically no one. It does, however, seem convenient that Junior is able to win almost everyone over. In real life, I think the results would be mixed. He would likely develop some close friendships, but many people would probably still fail to accept him as he is.

Bodhi has a collection of 175 dimes and nickels. The collection is worth $13.30. Which equation can be used to find n, the number of nickels in the collection?
0.1n + 0.05(n – 175) = 13.30
0.1n + 0.05(175 – n) = 13.30
0.1(n – 175) + 0.05 = 13.30
0.1(175 – n) + 0.05n = 13.30
