Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

An explanation of why separating powers is an important element is absent from Passage 2 that would strengthen the author's discussion of the founding fathers' beliefs.

What do you mean by Power?

The authority, possession or control over anything is power.

The division of a state's government into branches, each with separate, independent powers and responsibilities, so that the powers of one branch do not conflict with those of the other branches, is referred to as the separation of powers.

The United States Federal Government is divided into three branches to ensure a separation of powers: legislative, executive, and judicial.

Therefore, Option (c) is correct.

the third question is wrong because the volunteers aren’t just one individual, it’s more than one individual. they would’ve been referred to as “their tools” & not “his or her tools”.

can someone write a 4-5 argumentive essay about teachers being allowed to carry guns, if that doesnt work then do schools having armed guards.

Answers

Answer: I strongly believe teachers should have easy access to a gun or other firearms. With proper training, a gun could save lives in an emergency or life-or-death situation. School shooters are rare, but in the event where you need to save your life, a gun is the perfect solution. If teachers were trained to use a gun properly, he/she could save the lives of students, and themselves, in a responsible manner. However, a gun wouldn’t just be granted upon them. A teacher running around with a free gun could be dangerous to the students or other staff members. We would need to be careful with the teachers access to gun use.

Answer:

I think that teachers should have access to firearms for protection ONLY. School shootings happen daily and having teachers who are trained and know how to properly use a firearm could save lives. The firearm should be locked in a cabinet or a spot that only the teacher knows with some sort of lock that only the teacher knows how to unlock. Theyre should also be some sort of contract the teacher signs that makes them agree to only use the firearm in absolute emergency.

School shootings happen daily all over the world and they take many lives. Not all shooters are caught and brought to justice having some sort of protection can lower the chances of the shooter escaping. The students would most likely feel safer with some sort of protection agaist an intruder. There have been 22 school shootings this year. There have been 114 school shootings since 2018. Think how many less shootings can happen if there is some sort of protection against the shooters.every year, more than 3,500 children and teens are shot and killed and 15,000 more are shot and injured. An estimated 3 million children in the US are exposed to shootings per year. Witnessing shootings—whether in their schools, their communities or their homes–can have a devastating impact. Children exposed to violence, crime, and abuse are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol; suffer from depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder; fail or have difficulties in school; and engage in criminal activity. The children of this generation are going to be the next people running the world is that really what we want for our future as the human race?

Of course proper training is required before firearm use. Proper training can ensure the students and staff safety that way no accidental injuries happen. Proper training can also prepare the teacher/gaurds for how the firearm will react when going off, and can ensure that no damages are done to the building. As ive prevously mentioned that shootings in anywere can cause trauma and that can serously affect someone mentally and affect there future. Training and education on the firearms can save many lives and prevent many injuries.

The firearm should obvously kept out of reach of the students, either hidden in a hard to reach place that only the teacher knows and/or have some sort of lock that only the teacher knows how to unlock. This will ensure the safety of the children, a firearm in the hands of children can be dangerouse. There also needs to be a sighned document agreeing to only use the firearm in absolute emergency and if that agreement is broken the school should be allowed to sue. if the students have to put trust in the teacher so should the rest of the school and school district/system.

There are risks, as we've seen kids are smart, smarter than we let on. There is alot of trust to put it in not only the teachers but the kids as well. however the pros outway the cons by a long shot, and I personally think its worth taking that risk.

Which of the following is not a part of speech A. adjective B. sentence C. noun D. preposition

Answers

Answer:

The option that is not a part of speech is:

B. sentence

Explanation:

It is important to understand the parts of speech to be able to correctly determine how a word functions in a sentence, not just grammatically, but also in meaning. It is also important to keep in mind that the same word may function as more than just one part of speech, according to the context. There are eight parts of speech: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. As we can see, option B. sentence is not included. As a matter of fact, a sentence is usually the result of the parts of speech being in use.

"He would like to think of himself as a lion. Balboa the Lion! But no, he is more of a rat..."

What is the meaning of the metaphor in these lines? (RL.2.4)

Answers

Answer: this metaphor could mean 2 things depending on what this text is about: (#1) this could refer to the characters inner thoughts that they are brave like a lion and that they did the right thing and then by calling them a rat it could suggest that they instead did the wrong thing

(#2) The character wants to think of themselves highly, and they compare themselves to a lion to convey this because lions are considered brave, strong, and powerful. Then the metaphor of comparing the character to a rat is used to show the reader the reality. This character doesn’t have the good qualities that they believe they have and so they are compared to a rat because rats are the prey of lions and possess opposite characteristics.

Explanation: I think #2 works better
