Answer and Explanation:
Based on context, what do you think the other italicized words in this sentence might mean (perspiration, wilted, slumped)?
Since the context makes it clear that Esperanza and her mother are tired due to carrying the valises, we can infer the meaning of the italicized words:
perspiration --> if their faces look shiny, it's because they are probably sweaty. Therefore, perspiration means sweat.
wilted --> if we are to take only the context into consideration, I'd say wilted is just another way to say tired or to refer to someone whose energy level is low.
slumped --> this is in connection to the weight of the valises. Even though they are not heavy, the women find them difficult to carry. Therefore, we can assume slumped refers to their postures, to the way their bodies look all curved up due to the weight.
Why might the author have chosen specifically to use the word "wilted" to describe Esperanza and her mother?
When we look up the meaning of wilted, we find: (of a plant, leaf, or flower) limp due to heat, loss of water, or disease; droop. The author probably chose this adjective to refer to Esperanza and her mother as a means to invoke the image of plants. Readers can think of them - the women - as delicate flowers in need of water, of care.

a . columns
b. Porch's roof
c. Acted AS
d. Support
Answer:
d. Support
Explanation:
A synonym for "buttress" in the given sentence is support. The term "buttress" is used to describe the columns' role as providing support for the porch roof. Thus, "support" serves as a synonym, indicating the function of the columns in reinforcing or bolstering the structure. Therefore, option d is correct.
A buttress is a structural support typically found in architecture or construction. It is an external, projecting structure that provides additional strength and stability to a wall, building, or other architectural elements.
Buttresses are designed to resist and counteract the lateral forces acting on a structure, such as the pressure from a roof or the weight of upper floors.
They are often characterized by their solid, sturdy appearance and can take various forms, such as stepped, diagonal, or flying buttresses. By transferring the load to the ground or adjacent supports, buttresses help prevent structural collapse and maintain the integrity of the overall construction.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities
In the 1800s, the Uniodd States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of
society following the introduction of machines.
The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments
caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.
Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production.
Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The
abundance caused food prices to fall.
The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in
northern factories as a way to support their families.
Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today,
the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.
As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization,
In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S.
residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with
more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and
New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.
The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so
quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural
areas.

Read "The Workers of Ellis Island"; and look at the photo. Three men standing behind a seated man. The first man is wearing all black with a white-collar. The second man is wearing a white shirt with a black jacket. The third man is wearing all white. Which statement is most likely accurate? The man on the left works as a surgeon at Ellis Island. The man who is standing in the center is a clerk at Ellis Island. The man who is sitting recently received medical attention. The man on the right has traveled from a foreign country.
Answer:
The man who is sitting recently received medical attention.
Explanation:
Interestingly, based on the description of the photo, we could get some measure of detail about the surroundings.
Remember, we observe that the three men were standing not sitting behind the other man; meaning they likely have enough/more strength to stand. So, it seems most likely to say that the man who is sitting recently received medical attention, that's why he sits to rest and regain his strength.

The Sixth Regiment of Marines had come to pin the Fifth in France. Major Hughes's battalion had landed at St. Nazaire in September. Colonel Catlin followed with his headquarters company in October, going on to take charge of the provost work at Bordeaux. Major Sibley's battalion went over in November and Major Holcomb's in February, completing the Sixth Regiment and, with the Fifth already there, the Marine Brigade. What was the Marine Brigade? 1. the complete Fifth and Sixth Regiments 2. Major Sibley's battalion 03. all the Marines in France 4. the headquarters company
Answer:
03. all the Marines in France
Explanation:
In a simplified way, we can say that a brigade is a unit of lower rank in the army, being photographed by all officers of lesser rank if the same army. In this way, we can say that a Marine Brigade is made up of all Marines of an army, by a group of brigades from the same army, or by a set of battalions of the same army. In this case, we can affirm that among the options given in the text above, the only one that really represents a birga is: all the Marines in France.

Answer:
Leadership:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Family:The stick-together families are happier by far
Than the brothers and the sisters who take separate highways are.
The gladdest people living are the wholesome folks who make
A circle at the fireside that no power but death can break.
Love:
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Bicycling by young women has helped to swell the ranks of reckless girls who finally drift into the standing army of outcast women of the United States," wrote Smith in a resolution issued by her group, the Women's Rescue League. Which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint? Women should not cycle until they are older. Women should learn to cycle properly. Women should avoid cycling. Women should cycle only as a hobby.
Answer:
The option which best describes Charlotte Smith's viewpoint is:
C. Women should avoid cycling.
Explanation:
According to the book "Wheels of Change", Charlotte Smith condemned cycling as an indecent practice for women. In Smith's opinion, women who ride a bike are less moral and less religious than those who do not. She even accused riding bikes of being unhealthy - which we have known for decades to be untrue. With that in mind, we can easily choose letter C as the best option. To Smith, women should not cycle at all.

C. Women should avoid cycling
