In paragraph 87, Mr. Steward returns the button unit to the Lewis home after his phone conversation with Norma. How does this action affect the Lewises? Its on commonlit!! due today!!!
Answer:
A. It encourages Norma to consider using the button unit.
Explanation:
The short story Button, Button by Richard Matheson revolves around the theme of how a person may do anything to get money even at the cost of someone's life. This story deals with human greed and selfish nature.
Mr. Steward had told the Lewises about the button and how it works. Once pushed, it will kill someone they don't know and don't need to know. But the upside of it was that they will get $50,000. At first, the Lewises unitedly rejected the offer and rejected it. But Norma Lewis called him the next day, which led to the return of the package. And without her husband's knowledge, she kept it in the house. She began to conjure up reasons for the offer, stating "some eccentric millionaire is playing games with people" or that it might not be as serious as they had thought it'd be. This return of the package only encourages Norma to consider pushing the button, which we know led to the death of Arthur and thus, Norma got the right amount, which is $50,000 of his life insurance.

is the story the black aeroplane reality or fantasy
Answer:
The black aeroplane is fantasy.
Explanation:
The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place the pilot goes into a storm, then in the storm, there are very dark clouds that make him lose control as breaking the airplane's tools. An example of this is the compass that stops working. This can happen. However, in real life, it changes its magnetism and keeps pointing to a new magnetic spot. While in the story it spins like crazy. But the major factor is that inside that chaotic storm he finds another place and his pilot guide him to land just to find out the plane disappeared.

"But it's only a big pencil," the Humbug objected, tapping it with his cane. "True enough," agreed the Mathemagician, "but once you learn to use it, there's no end to what you can do." What theme is represented by these lines?
Since there are no options to this question, nor have I been able to find any options online, I'll just answer with an interpretation of the excerpt.
Answer:
The theme represented by this line is that if you are an educated person, there is nothing you cannot do. Education is the secret to achieving anything.
Explanation:
In "The Phantom Tollbooth", the pencil is called "a magic staff". Its true magic relies on the person's capacity to use it. If you know Math, if you know languages, if you know any other subject that you like, you can work wonders with a pencil. It is a simple object that can bring to life your ideas, which can even change the world. That is what the Mathemagician reveals as the dialog progresses:
"But it's only a big pencil," the Humbug objected, tapping at it with his cane.
"True enough," agreed the Mathemagician; "but once you learn to use it, there's no end to what you can do."
"Can you make things disappear?" asked Milo excitedly.
"Why, certainly," he said, striding over to the easel. "Just step a little closer and watch carefully."
After demonstrating that there was nothing up his sleeves, in his hat, or behind his back, he wrote quickly:
4 + 9 − 2 × 16 + 1 ÷ 3 × 6 − 67 + 8 × 2 − 3 + 26 − 1 ÷ 34 + 3 ÷ 7 + 2 − 5 =
Then he looked up expectantly. "Seventeen!" shouted the bug, who always managed to be first with the wrong answer.
"It all comes to zero," corrected Milo.
"Precisely," said the Mathemagician, making a very theatrical bow, and the entire line of numbers vanished before their eyes.

Answer:

A sentence fragement is an incomplete sentence/thought. In all the rest of the answers, there is a concrete meaning behind what is being saif. However, in C, the write doesn't tell you what happens after a dolphin has been underwater for a long period. Thus, it's an incomplete thought and a sentence fragment.
what does johnathans attitude toward these blessings show you about the nature of the nigerian civil war
Answer:
Jonathan's grateful attitude toward his blessings reveals that the Nigerian Civil War was brutal and had adverse effects on the Igbo people, or South Easterners.
Explanation:
The book, "Civil Peace", by Chinua Achebe tells the story of Jonathan Iwegbu, an Igbo man who survived the disastrous civil war. The war was fought between the state of Biafra and the Nigerian government from the year 1967 till 1970. The Biafrans believed that they were marginalized by the Nigerian government, leading to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra in 1967.
The five blessings Jonathan Iwegbu was grateful for include; his family, consisting of his wife and three children out of four, their survival, his bicycle, the fact that his house in Enugu was still standing, as well as the money and belongings he had left. These blessings are rare for most people who experienced war. It also reveals the severity of the war as millions died from the war and did not have as much after the war. Therefore Johnathan's blessings were a cause for rejoicing.
