An interjection can also be named "an exclamation." It is a way to express oneself to display emotions. These words usually end with exclamation marks when they stand alone. If the word "Golly" was a so-called, "one word sentence," then it would end with an exclamation, particularly of surprise.

After setting his alarm clock for PM instead of AM, Eric woke up late for school. In his haste, he forgot to pack a lunch or bring lunch money. Eric did not mind much at first because he figured that he could eat some of his friends' food. During lunchtime, Eric explained his situation to the people at his lunch table. His friends were sympathetic to his cause. But they had only packed lunches for themselves, not Eric. Katie offered Eric a small bag of carrots. "Yuck! I hate carrots. Thanks anyway," Eric said as he declined Katie's offer. Chuck offered Eric his milk, to which Eric responded, "Is that skim milk? Ewww... I hate skim milk. Does anyone have any chocolate milk?" Some people at the table did have chocolate milk, but they did not want to give their milk to Eric. To break the silence, Ben offered Eric half of his egg salad sandwich. Again Eric refused quite rudely, "Egg salad is gross. Doesn't anyone have anything good for me?" But that was the last offer that Eric would receive that day.

You can write about what your opinion will be for the future. Maybe there'll be robots everywhere, and technology will become more advanced. We might be already starting to colonize Mars and the Earth would have become even hotter than now. Oil and other natural resources will have dried up and the world will have to find a different way to get energy and generate electricity. The sea levels will be higher than now due to glaciers melting and arctic animals will become more and more endangered due to habitat damage. Popular celebrities will eventually die, some peacefully and others not so much. Music and fashion will be different, but it will probably still be enjoyed. LGBTQ+ might finally be accepted a bit more than now in society and black lives would probably have started to matter. Trump will never be picked again and the Corona virus might have gone away, but no one's sure about that. Many people will die and many more will be born.
I hope that gave you good ideas! Good luck!

Part A
In “The Value of a Sherpa Life,” what solution does Schaffer propose for the problem he has identified?
A. an end to recreational tourism in the Himalayas
B. an increase in the monetary value placed on a Sherpa life
C. a decrease in the social value placed on Western lives
D. asking climbers to do more of their share on climbs
Part B
Which quotation from the selection most clearly supports the answer to Part A?
A. Without the hard work of the Sherpa porters, it would be largely impossible for Americans and Europeans … to scale the world's tallest mountain.
B. That last group [Sherpas] would lose jobs that pay between $2,000 and $6,000 per season, in a country where the median income is $540 per year.
C. Several organizations … have made valiant efforts to teach Sherpas the latest climbing, rescue, and first-aid skills.
D. But for about $200 per policy, at least one Kathmandu-based insurance company will cover Sherpas for $23,000. Even that is clearly insufficient.
Answer:
Part A: B
Part B: D
Explanation:
"The Value of a Sherpa Life" is an article written by Grayson Schaffer after the terrible accident where sixteen Sherpas died in an avalanche. Sherpas are people who, basically, do all the hard work in climbing the Everest. They guide and carry the heavy loads, supplies and baggages for Westerners.
Schaffer here opposes this exploitation, but also is aware that this job in climbing industry brings Sherpas above-the-average sums of money which enables them to provide for their families. That's why Schaffer proposes a middle-ground solution: "The answer isn’t decreasing, or ending, the climbing business on Everest; the solution is increasing the value of a Sherpa life".
He continues by providing information on lower pay, lower standards for rescue insurance, lower payouts on accidental-death etc.
So, for start, he sees the solution in increasing the value of a Sherpa life and acknowledging them for their hard work, instead of seeing them as disposable.
Based on the passage in question, we can infer that Schaffer proposes B. an increase in the monetary value placed on a Sherpa life and the evidence of this is D. But for about $200 per policy, at least one Kathmandu-based insurance company will cover Sherpas for $23,000. Even that is clearly insufficient..
Schaffer in this passage:
Talked about how Sherpas were not very valued and lost their lives easily How Sherpas need to be more valued than they currently areSchaffer believes that they should place more value on the lives of Sherpas by for instance, increasing the insurance policies on them.
In conclusion, Schaffer recommends more monetary value for the lives of Sherpas.

This student is arguing against mandatory homework in schools. Which statement best serves as the writer's claim?
Is Homework Truly Beneficial?
Two decades ago, researchers believed that homework had a negative impact on students' physical and emotional health, yet students are still
bogged down with hours of homework as early as the second grade. According to research by several universities, elementary students spend
an average of 3 hours a week doing homework. The same studies revealed that the average high school student spends over 22 hours a week
on homework. In fact, students today spend more than double the time on homework than students two decades ago. Sadly, as time spent on
homework doubles, student performance continues to decline. So, how then is homework helping? Homework is harmful and not the key to
student success.
