Read the paragraph below, look for the big idea.
Many flowers are what we call annuals. Their entire life cycle — from seed to death — takes just one year. They might leave behind sleeping seeds that could sprout again in the future, but the flowers, roots, stems and leaves all fade away as soon as the season is done. Sunflowers and petunias are examples of annuals. Some plants technically last a little longer, but not in a way humans can truly appreciate. Biennials take two years to start flowering instead of shooting up in a single spring. But they still wither and die once the flowers are gone. One to look for is a foxglove, a tall plant with clusters of bell-shaped blooms, often in pink or purple. Then there are perennials, which can survive for years. Scientists believe these types of plants came first.
What is the main idea the author is trying to make about plants?
Perennials are a special type of plant
Scientists think perennials are the first type of plant that existed.
Plants have different life cycles depending on the type of plant.
There are different names for plants

Make a claim about your topic. Write about evidence. Address counterclaims and respond to them. Conclude your blog post by offering solutions to a problem your blog entry suggests. (about high gas prices)
Answer:
well it really depends on how you feel about gas prices. in my opinion, high gas prices are too over the top and too expensive to pay for. first off, it could be difficult for some people to pay for gas, when they are struggling with money.
the best thing to do is lower the gas prices so people can actually afford food and pay their bills. if they don't lower the gas prices, consider taking a bus, walking, getting a side job, or maybe even owning an electric car.

Read the following excerpt from an argumentative essay. Answer the question that follows:
Critics might say that smartphones in the classroom cause too many distractions. A 2009 article in Education Magazine made just such a claim. Although cell phones can certainly cause distractions, current research suggests that teachers and students are putting phones to better use. A 2013 Educator Insider poll reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. Students without phones are actually at a disadvantage in the classroom. The poll lists Internet access, spell checks, and collaboration as three key uses of smart phones in an educational setting.
How does the author handle the counterclaim?
a
The author chooses to concede the point and offers no rebuttal.
b
The author offers an opinion discounting the counterclaim.
c
The author ignores the counterclaim and avoids responding.
d
The author supplies a rebuttal that quotes more current research.

A Flag with 50 Stars
The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.
In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.
The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change the grade to an A.
A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.
Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint toward Bob Heft in “A Flag with 50 Stars”?
Bob should not have contacted a member of Congress about a trivial matter.
Bob was not a very good student at Lancaster High School.
Bob should not have spent so much time on his project.
Bob's grade did not reflect the outcome of the story.
Answer:
Bob's grade did not reflect the outcome of the story.
Explanation:
I NEED A ESSAY ON HOW FINGERPRINTS CAN VARY/CHANGE.
Answer:
fingerprints do not change over time, but there is a catch: they do not change as we grow old, but they can be affected by certain external conditions. A person’s fingerprints usually form in the 17th week of pregnancy. These prints are set in stone before we are even born. As a person grows, the prints get bigger while retaining the same pattern. Essentially, the prints just scale up gradually. Although fingerprints do not change with age, it can be more difficult to capture them in older people. This is because the skin loses elasticity with age, and the patterns become less prominent, especially due to the thickening of ridges and furrows. Construction workers, especially bricklayers and people who often wash dishes by hand, lose some details in their fingerprints. Once they stop these activities, the ridges will grow back. People who work with chemicals such as calcium oxide can also lose some of the details in their fingerprints. However, once such activities are stopped, the worn-out patterns tend to grow back over time. In other words, even in such cases, the change in the appearance of fingerprints is only temporary. Certain skin diseases destroy the dermis and epidermis of the skin. Consequently, it becomes challenging for fingerprint recognition systems to recognize the prints of these individuals. Adermatoglyphia is a sporadic genetic disorder that causes a person to have no fingerprints. People with this disorder have completely smooth fingertips, palms, toes, and soles. In rare cases, cancer treatment can also cause you to lose your fingerprints. In 2008, a Singaporean man was detained at an airport for a routine fingerprint scan. However, it turned out that he had none. He was on chemotherapy to keep cancer in his head and neck in check. As it turns out, a drug called capecitabine had given him a moderate case of something known as hand-foot syndrome, which can cause swelling, pain, and peeling on the palms and soles of the feet – and apparently the loss of fingerprints.

How does the section “Beyond greenhouse gases” contribute to the development of ideas in the text (Paragraphs 17-23)?
Answer:
It suggests that Scarborough's study misleads people to think that it's enough to just cut meat out of their diet to help the environment.
Explanation:
The section "Beyond greenhouse gases" contribute It challenges the idea that eating meat and animal products contributes to more greenhouse gases than eating plant-based foods. In the section it states that Often farmers rely on weed killers and pest killers to improve the size of their crop harvests. Many of those chemicals can be toxic to wildlife and people. Some fertilizers can pollute groundwater. Plowing fields can lead to erosion. That can diminish the fertility of soils.
