High incomes don’t bring you happiness
What statement best identifies the central idea of the text

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Money plays only a very minor role in people's overall happiness.

Explanation:

In the informational text, High Incomes Don't Bring You Happiness by Caitlin Kenney, the author studies the effects or even the importance of money in one's happiness. The belief that money plays an important factor in one's happiness is a common myth that most people believe to be true.

The writer states that "it is good to have high emotional well being, but it is also good to think your life is going well". But that doesn't necessarily mean that money brings happiness. Rather contrarily, 'the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that while "life evaluations rise steadily with income," emotional well-being drops off at about $75,000 a year'. This seems to suggest the central idea of the text as money playing only a minor role in the overall happiness of people.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

What is the purpose of this text?

A. to inform readers based on Tan’s childhood experience

B. to persuade readers to speak a different way

C. to inform readers of Tan’s mother’s feelings

D. to persuade readers that Tan’s mother is intelligent

Answer:

The purpose of this text is A. to inform readers based on Tan’s childhood experience .

Explanation:

At no point does the author try to convince her readers to speak in a different way. She does not talk about her mother's feelings in this passage. Also, she is not trying to convince readers that her mother is intelligent, she is simply stating that she misjudged her own mother because of the way she talked. The purpose of this passage is to provide readers with information concerning her childhood that led Tan to reflect on how language affected her view of her mother. As she was growing up, Tan associated her mother's broken English with broken thoughts - imperfect, incomplete thoughts. The author is, however, admitting that this was a limited perception, that her mother's English was not a representation of her capacity for reasoning.

When we read books, the stories in them transport us from the world we are in to the world within the pages of the book. To be transported by a book requires the reader to have an emotional response to the book, to visualise the story and eventually, become immersed in it. As a reader, I consider myself lucky to have read several books that have made me lose awareness of my existing surroundings and drawn me into the story unravelling in the book.

“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.” – J.K. Rowling

When I think of being transported by a book, a recent incident comes to my mind. On a winter morning, I had boarded a train to Furkating, a small town in Assam. It was a bleak morning and the sun was a pale yellow, melting into a silver sky. In a compartment colder than December, I sat tucked in my winter clothes amidst rows of filled seats. As the train started with a jolt, I brought out a book from my overstuffed handbag and started reading the first chapter.

Soon, I was deeply engrossed in the story and before I knew it half an hour had passed… The train was starting to slow down as we had reached a station; on a cemented slab in yellow, the letters read ‘Panbari’. Some of the seats in front of me that were previously filled now lay empty. Two of the solo passengers who sat ahead of me had struck up a conversation about the weather in Dimapur – probably the place they were heading to. The winter sun was now splattered across the sky and shining over thatched-roof villages that we were fast leaving behind as the train gained momentum.

Mary Balogh describes it perfectly, “Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? I know I have. And I think that’s why historical romance is so appealing. That experience of being so immersed in the story that it feels like you’re really there: strolling along in a moonlit rose garden with a duke, or taking tea in a lady’s finely appointed drawing room. And if you’re the adventurous type (like me), perhaps you find yourself riding on a cable car in San Francisco, or exploring the canals of Venice in a gondola. Whatever the tale, these new experiences are just waiting to be discovered; beckoning you, enticing you, entreating you to pause, to sit down and to spend time between the pages of a good book.”

Chapter 28: Describe the mood at the beginning of Chapter 28 (when Jem and Scout are walking to the school). How does this mood set up the events that happen on the way home?
to kill a mocking bird. THX

Answers

Answer:

The mood at the beginning of chapter 28 of To Kill a Mockingbird was apprehensive and full of suspense.

This mood foreshadows what was to happen later when Scout and Jem are walking home.

Explanation:

As Alexandra was telling the children why she wants to go to bed she stops in the middle of a sentence and feels apprehensive, she says somebody must be walking over her grave.

Later when Scout and Jem were walking to the school the night was dark, cloudy, windy and with no moon, Scout says the schoolyard is "pitch black."

When the wind stops and the air becomes still. Scout notes that, "This was the stillness before a thunderstorm."

When Scout and Jem leave the school, the night is still "black dark." They made the bad choice of declining the offer of a ride form someone and started walking home.

As they are crossing the schoolyard, Scout realizes that she has forgotten her shoes, and the auditorium lights go off suddenly, which presents another ominous sign.

All these instances contribute to the suspenseful mood of the chapter, and foreshadow the attack on the children that was to come later on their way home.

The advantage of the sole proprietorship is that the owner has the right to enter and exit the market easily. The owner has personal ownership over the property thus he/she cam retain the information.  The owner has a freedom for paying the taxes.

The disadvantages of the partnership are increased liabilities, potential conflicts, and uncertain terms of partnership.

Where does momaday shift the sentence and structure? Why? Identify examples in the text to support your response

Answers

Answer:

1. Where he describes his people's history.

2. When he tells the Story his Grandmother told him.

Explanation:

1. When describing the history of his people and the land they settled on, N. Scott Momaday in The Way to Rainy Mountain uses longer sentences to properly showcase the landscape and history of his people. For example, in the text we see this description;

"When the Kiowas came to the land of the Crows, they could see the dark lees of the hills at dawn across the Bighorn River, the profusion of light on the grain shelves, the oldest deity ranging after the solstices. Not yet would they veer southward to the caldron of the land that lay below they must wean their blood from the northern winter and hold the mountains a while longer in their view."

Notice how the long sentences, filled with multiple phrases and clauses help paint a picture of the landscape.

2. When he tells the story that his grandmother told him about the legend the Kiowas made at the base of the rock, he starts to use shorter sentences. This is probably because that was how she told her stories, in short sentences.

Notice the short sentences in the story are from this extract;

"Eight children were there at play, seven sisters and their brother. Suddenly the boy was struck dumb, he trembled and began to run upon his hands and feet. His fingers became claws, and his body was covered with fur. Directly there was a bear where the boy had been..."

Answer:

When Momaday describes where his grandmother grew up and her life there, he uses a series of long, descriptive sentences, which has the effect of showcasing the long history of the place and the vast landscapes of the area:

Great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh, and tortoises crawl about on the red earth, going nowhere in the plenty of time. Loneliness is an aspect of the land. All things in the plain are isolate; there is no confusion of objects in the eye, but one hill or one tree or one man.

Then, when he tells the story he learned from his grandmother, his sentences become shorter, as if he is mirroring her storytelling:

Eight children were there at play, seven sisters and their brother. Suddenly the boy was struck dumb; he trembled and began to run upon his hands and feet. His fingers became claws, and his body was covered with fur. Directly there was a bear where the boy had been. The sisters were terrified; they ran, and the bear after them. They came to the stump of a great tree, and the tree spoke to them. It bade them climb upon it, and as they did so it began to rise into the air. The bear came to kill them, but they were just beyond its reach. It reared against the tree and scored the bark all around with its claws. The seven sisters were borne into the sky, and they became the stars of the Big Dipper.

This is done to situate the reader on the subject being discussed and to prepare him for the next topics that will be covered in the article.

Once the reader understands what it is and how bitcoin has evolved, the author modifies the structure of the text, stopping to approach the facts in chronological order and establishing several comparisons that make the reader understand how the value of Bitcoin is relative and changeable and how it influences the use of that currency.

Answer:

The author describes why modern forms of money are more convenient for people to use.

The text uses chronology to explain how the use of currency has changed since it was first introduced.

We often characterize adolescents as impulsive, reckless and emotionally unstable. We used to attribute this behavior to “raging hormones.” More recently, it’s been popular in some scientific circles to explain adolescent behavior as the result of an imbalance in the development of the brain.
According to this theory, the prefrontal cortex, the center of the brain’s cognitive-control system, matures more slowly than the limbic system, which governs desires and appetites including drives for food and sex. This creates an imbalance in the adolescent brain that leads to even more impulsive and risky behavior than seen in children — or so the theory goes.
This idea has gained currency to the point where it’s become common to refer to the “teenage brain” as the source of the injuries and other maladies that arise during adolescence.
In my view, the most striking failure of the teen brain hypothesis is its conflating of important differences between different kinds of risky behavior, only a fraction of which support the notion of the impulsive, unbridled adolescent.

What has been the common explanation for teens’ risky behavior?
