Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.”
The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so close behind me he kept stepping on my heels. The faster I walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was shattered by a bolt of lightning. When the deafening peal of thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out, “Brother, Brother, don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!”
The imagery in this excerpt most reflects
the sense of sight to emphasize the fear that Doodle was feeling.
the sense of sight to emphasize how difficult it was for the boys to see.
the sense of sound to emphasize the frustration of the narrator.
the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.
Answer: The imagery in this excerpt most reflects the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm. The author does this by using phrases such as "roaring through the pines", "deafening peel of thunder", etc. This amplification of the storm is effective, because it intensifies the moment and brings the reader into the narrator's fear.

Read this excerpt from “The Passing” and answer the question.
Joe Willow’s mother, Fannie, was a short, round woman with mottled brown skin and a high shiny forehead that wrinkled when she laughed. Jimmy Bear was her second husband, and they used to pass our house often on their way to town. They had once driven an old Dodge, but it no longer ran, and it now sat lopsided and windowless among the weeds beside their lane. Jimmy Bear was a skinny man, but he had a round, protruding belly and wore his belt under it so it looked as if he carried a basketball inside. He had gaps in his teeth and a rough, guttural laugh and walked with a shuffle.
What is the author most likely trying to convey about Joe Willow through the description of his mother and stepfather? Select all that apply.
His loyalty is to his mother.
He is a hard worker.
His fortune is on a downward swing.
He comes from a humble background.
His parents are unhealthy.
He is due some good fortune.
Answer:
That he comes from a humble background.
Explanation:
The descriptions show the family as poor and not execptional. But they are shown as good natured people; they laugh.

Answer:
Greg looked at the sky and wondered if they should turn back. kaguya and Red were following greg from behind. greg called his friend kaguya the moment red was looking away. "We should hurry up and leave him." he said. at that time... Kaguya knew that greg had no trust whatsoever in red. she began hesitating in a roller coaster of emotions as the storm thunderously grew. kaguya had thoughts of greg as a kind person believing in justice no matter what. and now she unexpectedly started to endear a stranger fearing more surprising changes of character from greg coming out of that extremely pressing set of situations. as they continued to walk quietly kaguya was next to red and greg was following them in a sense of betrayal from the one he called his "friend". another horrendous lighting struck the earth as fast as greg's growing envy and jealousy.
He looked up again to see kaguya reaching red's hands. a sudden flash of ominous anger was felt by him. He gripped his fists tight and ran towards red inorder to mercilessly punch him in the face. As the the lightning storm grew more intense, greg was looking at a girl with a broken jaw lying on the ground. as if he was possessed, as if he was being manipulated...he suddenly realized that kaguya was pushed by the intensely strong wind into his fists. He then acted quick out of surprise...he punched his frail friend with bloody jealousy. tears began dropping out of his eyes like the rain falling on her fallen body. not only greg who checked her pulse but also the neutral red knew that she was no longer. and so red calmed greg down by telling him that she'll be okay even though she won't....because death is not revertible.

What is the difference between a summary and a paraphrase?
A) Both include a quotation, but a summary is longer.
B) A summary condenses information while a paraphrase simply restates it.
C) Nothing—they are the same thing.
D) Both cover a large body of work, but a paraphrase includes a direct quote.
Answer:
i think its A
Explanation:
because the question asks for the differences and this is the only answer with the differences
The main difference between a summary and a paraphrase is that a summary condenses information while a paraphrase simply restates it. The correct answer is option B.
A summary is a brief statement or account of the main points of a text or speech. It condenses the information into a shorter form, highlighting the most important ideas and leaving out less important details.
A summary does not include direct quotes from the original text.A paraphrase is a restatement of a text or passage in your own words. It involves rewording the original text while retaining the same meaning.
A paraphrase does not necessarily condense the information, but it does restate it in a different way. A paraphrase may or may not include direct quotes from the original text.
Therefore, option B. "a summary condenses information while a paraphrase restates it" is the difference between a summary and a paraphrase.

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:
President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.
Which topic best relates to the central idea in this part of the speech?
1.Backing out of the fight
2.Avoiding future conflicts
3.Fighting a lost cause
4.Winning the war on terror
Answer:
the answer is the 4th - Winning the war on terror
Explanation:
1 is incorrect because of the statement "No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve" this is clearly stating the opposite of backing down instead this saying they wont back down
2 is incorrect because of the statement "The war on terror is not over" this means that there is still a war and this will result in future conflicts.
3 is incorrect because "We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide." in this it is saying the tide is turning or in other words things are looking better. This was kind of a trick question because of the line "Their cause is lost." however that is talking about the terrorists cause not the US' cause.
4 is correct because this whole paragraph we can see President Bush speak about victory, the tides turning, their fate, and how their cause is lost. Plus if you are speaking to your troops this is a little more common sense than English, but you wouldn't want to be speaking of losing or avoiding the fight, you want to speak of winning and rally your troops.

Many reasons; the world's population would be uneducated

It depends on how you want to interpret this group of words.
I feel that each individual word shows an inquisitiveness towards everything you see in everyday life.
"I wonder - during breakfast - who invented the cereal box - something that is so appealing, yet why ?"
Then I thought. Probably because of the colorful ink that is used in the printing of this cardboard "structure."
You may think that this situation sounds odd, but you'd probably be surprised by how often you question your own interactions with everyday people - or even objects!

Mother of toddler who was killed by stray bullet appeals to public to locate gunman: ‘I want everybody’s help’
The mother of a toddler killed in his car seat by a stray bullet during a gun battle on a California highway has broken her silence on the tragic killing.
Jasper Wu died after being struck the gunshot as his family drove on the highway in Oakland, California, last week.
The 23-month-old was asleep in his car seat when the bullet from a shootout hit the vehicle, being driven by his mother, Cherry An.
Police are investigating the shooting but admit they do not have any suspects.
The family was heading from San Francisco to their home in Fremont when the tragedy unfolded and Jasper was rushed to the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“If anyone has any information, please call authorities,” the mother, Cherry An, told NBC Bay Area.
“I want everybody’s help to help find the killer.”
An has lived in the US for 10 years, while Jasper’s father never got to meet the youngster as he had to remain in Shanghai, China, while travel to the US was banned during the pandemic.
Jihao Wu flew to California on Monday as soon as the ban was lifted by the Biden administration.
Oakland Chinatown officials have announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the identity of the gunmen and a GoFundMe account for the family had raised nearly $200,000 as of Thursday.
Carl Chan, the president of the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, has called for increased efforts to reduce violence in the city.
“It’s not acceptable to see this level of violence, not only in the Asian American community but throughout Oakland,” he told The East Bay Times.
Oakland has seen a rise in violence in 2021, with 119 people having died by homicide so far this year.

Read this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball’s Great Astronomers:
Though every child may now know more of the actual truths of the celestial motions than ever Ptolemy knew, yet the fact that his work exercised such an astonishing effect on the human intellect for some sixty generations, shows that it must have been an extraordinary production. We must look into the career of this wonderful man to discover wherein lay the secret of that marvellous success which made him the unchallenged instructor of the human race for such a protracted period.
Based on the context of the excerpt, what does the word protracted most clearly mean?
Answer:
The word "protracted" means lasting longer than expected, or unusually long, so what protracted most clearly means based on the context of the excerpt is how the time period of celestial motion studies must have lasted unusually long.
