Text: “Saving Water? Why Bother?” (Read the to answer the question)
“You really need to start turning the faucet off when you brush your teeth. First, leaving the water running is pointless, because as you’re brushing your teeth, you’re not using the water. I know you think that since everyone else is turning off the water why should you, since that’s just a drop in the bucket; but did you know that by turning the water off, you could save up to 8 gallons of water a day? The average faucet uses 2 gallons of water a minute. If you turned the water off while you brushed your teeth, you would help conserve water in our town, which needs it, because it rains so little here.”

Prompt: Write a paragraph where you identify the claim of the text “Saving Water? What For?”. Choose the most relevant piece of evidence to support the claim.

Answers

Answer:

Independent clauses linked without a conjunction - Hang gliding is a popular pastime; it takes skill and a bit of daring.

An introductory participial phrase - Walking without a cane, the old man tried to escape unnoticed.

A mark indicating that a list will follow - These colors were chosen for the school: purple, green, and white.

A comma linking two independent clauses - Christ was equal with God, but He willingly became a servant.

A sentence demonstrating direct address - You seem to have found, my good friend, a real peace in life.

Explanation:

When a sentence consists of multiple independent clauses, they need to be connected by a conjunction preceded by a comma or a semicolon (like in the sentence: Hang gliding is a popular pastime; it takes skill and a bit of daring.)

Introductory participial phrases are phrases that contain participles and are located at the beginning of the sentence. Participles are forms of verbs used as adjectives. They end in -ed, -ing or -en.

The mark that indicates that a list will follow is the colon.

Direct address involves the use of a person's name or title to address that person directly.

Why did the people in the group come together in the seventh man?

Answers

Answer:

Waiting out a storm. (Or, he is telling a story.)

The story is set in a small house late into a stormy night, which is where the seventh man tells his story.

Explanation:

The short story “The Seventh Man”, by Haruki Murakami, is actually narrated in the third person, but most of the story is narrated in first person because most of it consists of the seventh man telling his story to the group of people huddled in the house. The seventh man tells his story in a serious tone, empty of humor and lightness. His words are laden with dark sadness and grief from what he has had to experience as a young child.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author shows how terrible conditions can cause people to be unsympathetic to the pain of others. How does the memoir genre enable the author to achieve this purpose? He is able to include facts to support his story. He is able to remain objective about what is happening. He is able to share his observations about one event in depth. He is able to provide an in-depth look about why the woman is shouting.

Answers

Read the excerpt from chapter 2 of Night. And so an hour or two passed. Another scream jolted us. The woman had broken free of her bonds and was shouting louder than before: "Look at the fire! Look at the flames! Flames everywhere . . .” Once again, the young men bound and gagged her. When they actually struck her, people shouted their approval: "Keep her quiet! Make that madwoman shut up. She’s not the only one here . . .” She received several blows to the head, blows that could have been lethal. Her son was clinging desperately to her, not uttering a word. He was no longer crying.

Answer:

. He is able to share his observations about one event in depth

Explanation:

Given that A memoir is a biographical writing that consist of various memories about a real life person, instead of fiction. It is actually established on factual incident, written from the perception of the author.

Hence, with the memoir genre the author was able to show how terrible conditions can cause people to be unsympathetic to the pain of others, by providing the enormous details that are factual about the incident. He was able to give such extensive details through his observations about the event.

Therefore, the correct answer is "He is able to share his observations about one event in depth."

Answer:

C. He is able to share his observations about one event in depth.

Explanation:

Next day his luggage arrived through the slush—and very remarkable luggage it was. There were a couple of trunks indeed, such as a rational man might need, but in addition there were a box of books—big, fat books, of which some were just in an incomprehensible handwriting—and a dozen or more crates, boxes, and cases, containing objects packed in straw, as it seemed to Hall, tugging with a casual curiosity at the straw—glass bottles.
Which is the best meaning for incomprehensible as it is used in the selected sentence?
A) unorganized; scattered
B) having no limits; boundless
C) impossible to fathom or imagine
D) difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend; unintelligible

Answers

Answer:

D). Difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend:  Unintelligible.

Explanation:

The word 'incomprehensible' denotes 'anything beyond understanding or something that is unable to be explained or comprehended.'

In the given sentence, the most appropriate meaning of this word would be 'unintelligible' which implies 'difficult or indeed impossible to understand.' It connotes 'an unclear or inexplicable idea.' The synonyms of the word could be 'indecipherable, inarticulate, incoherent, impenetrable, etc.' Another sentence using the word could be:

'His sudden anger at the party was incomprehensible(beyond understanding) to the entire crowd out there.'

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

Colloquialisms

Explanation:

The dictionary definition of colloquialism is:

- a word or phrase that is not formal or literary, typically one used in ordinary or familiar conversation.

- the use of ordinary or familiar words or phrases.

Hope this helps and have a great day :)

And please mark me brainliest if you can :)

Answer is Colloquialisms.

This is because words like “gonna,” “wanna,” “woulda” are all informal while “going to,” “want to,” and “would have” are all examples of formal words. Colloquialisms are informal words and “gonna” is an example of such. The informal words listed above are really slang words rather than proper words. These informal words are often or should be used when speaking to a friend or family instead of a boss or administrator. So yes, these are Colloquialisms. I really hoped I helped you !

IS UNCHOOPPING a tree possible? What does the writer ask us to do indirectly​

Answers

First and foremost, it should be very clear that unchopping a tree has never been possible. Although in the essay “Unchopping a Tree”, the writer has given us instructions for repairing a tree if it is cut down, both the writer and the readers know the fact that this task is impossible. So, we can say that this essay has been written in pseudo directive style. As it is clear that unchopping a tree is never possible, the essay has another message. The message is that if we cannot unchop a tree, it is better not to chop down trees. In other words, this essay indirectly suggests us we should preserve the environment.

write one paragraph about the things that make you stressed and how you deal with these things

Answers

Answer:

 School, family, and friends are the things that make me stress a lot. I usually stay quiet and not say a word. But when I do, my family/friends think I'm being a drama queen, and that causes more stress. So, I deal with these things by myself. I try to relax, get some alone time, and forget all my problems. I've learned that stress causes headaches, so I try to clam down and not stress out a lot.

  I always make sure that I can at least have a few minutes alone, to clam down and relax. Most of the time, I listen to calming music and breathe in and out. I've been stressing a lot these days, so this is the time I stay silence. But, I've always found a way to relax and not think of the world's expectations of me, but instead think about my expectations of myself.

The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyers bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyers bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyers value.Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid.
