The bowling pins stood at the end of the lane like children mocking Jim because he couldn't knock any of them down. The lanes extended out like a knocked-down redwood in the forest; they seemed to go on for miles. The ball shot out of the opening like a cannonball, and I tried my best to stop it, but it kept on rolling. When my partner stuck his fingers into the ball, I noticed his hands looked as rough as an elephant's back.
What does the author mean by saying, "The bowling pins stood at the end of the lane like children, mocking Jim"?
A.
The bowling pins were toys for children at the bowling alley.
B.
Jim couldn't bowl because there were children in the way.
C.
The pins angered Jim because they were hard to knock down.
D.
The only people allowed to bowl on the team were children.

C. He had the courage to challenge scientific ideas that he felt were wrong.

How was Einstein a genius?

According to scientific facts, Albert Einstein, who was a German scientist, became a genius with his scientific discoveries about relativity, gravity, and the lightbulb.

A genius possesses and develops exceptional intelligence and creativity.  

Thus, a genius is not always a gifted mathematician, the most intelligent scientist, or one who inherits abilities from his family, but one who can challenge wrong scientific ideas, be imaginatively creative, and have mental focus.

Answer: Include concrete details that appeal to the senses.

Question 5: Which revision strategy is helpful when trying to elaborate on your description of a historical event?

Answer: Ask yourself questions that may help you generate more information.

Explanation's:

Question 1: Because historical texts are written in chronological order, transitions that show time help a reader move from one event to another.

Question 2: When writers introduce quotations by stating the source, for example, readers better understand the significance of the quotation in the essay.

Question 3: One important task when revising historical writing is to make sure the facts you include truly belong in the essay.

Question 4: Concrete details “show” the reader the historical event, while abstract language can only “tell” about the event.

Question 5: A simple way to “dig” for more information and generate more details is by asking questions using the words who, when, where, why, what, and how.

Write a letter to your father telling him to pay up your school fees so that you can sit for the upcoming Examimation

Answers

Answer:

Dear Father

I am doing good and hope the same for you and the family. My sessional exams are about to begin from (date) and before that I need to pay my due fees i.e. (the sum) the last day to submit the fees is (last day to clear up fees) after that the school will charge (some kind of punishment)

Kindly deposit the fee amount in school's account, so that I could sit on my upcoming examinations

Giving my regards to you

Your loving son

(name)

Explanation:

you could take some ideas from here not the bestest but yeah..

Hey dad, recently I have been given a one time opportunity to sit an exam I believe you should pay for the fees previously been presented with for the following reasons;
Number one, I would like to be able to pay for a high paying job and these exam scores could provide me with a higher education and a higher chance of earning myself a higher paid job.
Secondly, I have a large pattern of good grades throughout the years and would make higher and more confident progress there the majority Resulting in a higher grade.
Finally, these unpaid fees may result in a lack of want in regards to future my colleges and universities and result in my applications being denied at a larger scale then most and meaning I lose out on a higher more qualified education.

Even though I can still live a regular life I would really appreciate a boost in order to succeed further and would be willing to earn some of the money through helping out at home or at job.
Kind regards, I would appreciate you to pay up the fees.

I recently read Partly Cloudy by Tanita S. Davis. It is a great book, and I chose it at the local library. The reason I chose it was because the elements and back of the book were about a black girl and the challenges she faces at school. The book follows a girl called Madelyn and her making new friends and microaggression and racist situations and incidents at school and home. Plus, smoke, fire, and other natural menaces threaten her house, her Mom, and her school and friends.

I liked the parts about Madelyn losing and gaining one of her friends due to past bullying and minor Negrophobia reasons as well. I also liked the parts where she moves into Papa Lobo's house and meets Jean.
