SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter
The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.
We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.
Read this sentence from the text:
We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land.
What is the best explanation for beached the boat based on the context of this sentence?
Created an anchor for the boat on shore
Not taken the boat on that day
Returned the boat to its harbor
Stopped or parked the boat
Answer:
Stopped or parked the boat
Explanation:
In the text presented in the question above, we can see that the narrator and his companions decided to stop the boat they used to navigate to explore the region out of the water. To stop the boat and gain access to dry land, they would need to park that boat, so it would be safe to get off the boat and walk around the area knowing and exploring it.
In this case, through the context of the text, when the narrator states that they had beached the boat, he is referring to the acts of stopping and parking the boat.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
Read this excerpt from Aunt Imogen."
They went together into the old room
That looked across the fields; and Imogen
Gazed out with a girl's gladness in her eyes, 40
Happy to know that she was back once more
Where there were those who knew her, and at last
Had gloriously got away again
From cabs and clattered asphalt for a while;
Imogen says in lines 41-42 that she is happy to be back with "those who knew her." Use evidence from
the poem to explain whether people really know Imogen and what it means in the poem to know
someone or know oneself. Your response should be at least one hundred words.
Answer and Explanation:
From reading the poem, we can see that people know a version of Aunt Imogen, the younger version of her, full of dreams and plans. However, the lack of coexistence and the loss of contact between the family, meant that they did not follow the changes that Aunt Imogen went through, which turned her into someone else, who no one knows anymore, just herself. Aunt Imogen's family knew her as someone happy and excited and they believe she remains that way, but inside herself, Aunt Imogen knows how sad, frustrated and lonely she feels. Only she knows this thought and only she knows herself completely.
In this case, the poem reinforces the idea that knowing someone does not mean knowing that person for real, as we do not have access to the deepest and most personal thoughts that transform a person completely. We only really know ourselves, because we can't get away from what we think.
We can see this in the lines:
"Was there for only one month in the year,/ While she, the mother,—she was always there;/ And that was what made all the difference./ She knew it must be so, for Jane had once/ Expounded it to her so learnedly/ That she had looked away from the child’s eyes / And thought; and she had thought of many things."

What is an author's claim?
a sentence or paragraph that excludes evidence
a sentence or paragraph that expresses facts, not opinions
a statement that provides a supporting detail about an opinion
a statement that shares a writer's viewpoint on an issue
Answer: Choice D) a statement that shares a writer's viewpoint on an issue
Explanation:
A claim is any statement, whether that statement is true or false. It's from the perspective of the writer. Ideally the author should provide facts and figures to back up their claim. Also, any facts or figures should be properly cited from reputable sources.
Example: An author could claim that "Students who study will likely do better on exams". That's their opinion and that opinion should be backed up by studies that look into the matter more closely.
Side note: The claim itself is not a fact that can stand on its own. It needs to be backed up by other established facts.
An author's claim is a statement that shares a writer's viewpoint on an issue Option(d) is correct. Title of the author's claim isn't in that frame of mind from topic, with the exception of impression of work content.
What does author claim means?Author's claim is respectable show of an author that he makes in his composition to some individual or his memory, gathering, foundation or even conceptual thought.
Author's claim is known as a verse preface of huge works written in refrain with address to specific individual or without it. Normally, it is restricted by one general claim with short mandate to inside groundwork of commitment, yet it was acknowledged likewise to elucidate devotion in type of an entire message in exposition or stanzas prior.
It is frequently verbose, lofty and complimenting. Author's claim was immediate aftereffect of the embarrassed status of essayists who had to look through strong defenders among respectable and rich individuals. Commitments were only here and there a consequence of genuine regard and dedication; they were typically composed for cash reward.
Therefore Option(d) is correct.

correct the pronouns in the following sentences
An internet buyer
This question is incomplete. I was able to find the complete question online. It is the following:
1. An internet buyer needs to be especially careful when they buy any type of medicine online because many pills are dangerous, counterfeit products.
2. If a student can't figure out which pronoun to use, you won't do well in college.
3. The clothing manufacturer projects a life expectancy of 50 washings of their product.
4. The placebo effect is demonstrated when a person takes an aspirin and their headache improves in seconds, which can't be the drug, because it takes at least 15 minutes to kick in.
5. A car buyer should consider your driving habits before deciding what car to buy.
Answer:
1. . . . when he/she buys any type of medicine online . . .
2. . . . to use, he/she won't do well in college.
3. . . . of its product.
4. . . . and his/her headache improves . . .
5. . . . consider his/her driving habits . . .
Explanation:
It is quite common for us to use the wrong pronoun when substituting words that refer to things or people in general. For instance, we commonly refer to a "person" as "they". In colloquial language, that is acceptable, but formal language considers that pronoun usage incorrect. Since the word "person" refers to the third-person singular, the pronouns to be used with it should be "he" and "she" or, if possessive, "his" and "her".
That is the case with the sentences above. "Person", "buyer", "student", and "manufacturer" are all third-person singular words. As for "manufacturer", since it most likely refers to a company or business, the correct pronoun would be "it" or, if possessive, "its".

Which statement describes a benefit of international trade?
Chawalia is a South Asian nation with an agricultural economy specializing in production of aromatic rice. To increase production, the government introduces mechanized farming. This process increases the production of rice by 120%. The government begins exporting the surplus rice to Europe and the Americas. From then on, aromatic rice exports makes up 40% of Chawalia’s annual GDP. To further increase production, Chawalia formulates a program aimed at producing a minimum of 50 million tons of rice every year. It brings more land under cultivation. It conducts workshops and training sessions on good agricultural practices. It provides financing to farmers for buying farm equipment. As a result, more and more farmers practice mechanized farming, leading to a further increase in production. Soon, Chawalia has a 33% share of global rice production.
Answer: From then on, aromatic rice exports makes up 40% of Chawalia’s annual GDP.
Explanation:
International trade refers to the exchange of goods and services which takes place between countries.
The statement that describes a benefit of international trade is "From then on, aromatic rice exports makes up 40% of Chawalia’s annual GDP".
Through the export of aromatic rice, Chawalia generates revenue and this has a significant effect on the GDP of the nation.

Write an argument for or against the idea of using controlled fires to protect wild areas.
MIn 160 words. pls dont answer just for points
I am against the idea of using controlled fires to protect wild areas.
Although some people may say, "Using controlled fires to burn wild areas protect larger wildfires from happening," and that, "The humans are being protected,"; they don't seem to care about the animals that rely on the trees, and the grass, and the flowers, etc;. All they care about is protecting themselves, and that the animals will just simply find another place to live.
Humans should compare animals to themselves—we are animals after all!—and not just think that the animal world is another version of a fairy tale. When humans think that animals will easily find another place to live, they should think about themselves and think, "Wait a minute! It's so hard for me to get another home, with all the papers, contracts, loans, payments, etc;! Why do I think that it'll be easier for animals!"
In conclusion, although using controlled fires to protect wild areas are great for humans, we should judge what we do on how an animal would feel or react in that situation. Yes, sometimes we must use controlled fires, but remember that animals have a symbiotic relationship with us and that to take something, we must give something.
