Monsters of the Deep
The ocean is full of mysteries and amazing creatures. Since the first sailors left their home shores and set off for adventure, stories have been told of the strange and wondrous beasts encountered on the open ocean. With only glimpses and imagination-enhanced stories to go on, humans have made many an interesting creature into a monster. The truth is, the ocean's scariest creatures inhabit such extreme depths that humans are rarely, if ever, threatened by them. That does not mean they are not the stuff of nightmares. Consider, if you will, the following frightful fiends.
Atlantic Hagfish
Part eel, part sea snake, this sea serpent may have inspired many stories. Lacking the scales that most fish have, the hagfish secretes the most amazing slime to protect itself. This slime may be used to suffocate predators. The slime includes small fibers that make it almost impossible to remove. But the hagfish's truly horrific nature lies in what it does to its prey, not its predators. With an excellent sense of smell that compensates for almost total blindness, the hagfish will locate and latch on to a victim. With a circle of razor sharp teeth, the hagfish bores a hole into the side of its now-doomed prey. Once the hole is complete, the hagfish just welcomes itself inside for a meal of fish innards. It essentially eats its prey from the inside out.
Like other deep-sea monsters, however, hagfish are seldom a nuisance to humans. They live most of their lives at depths of up to 5,600 feet. In fact, they prefer a soft sea bottom so they can quickly bury themselves to hide from threats.
Gulper Eel
Another, more hideous, fiend of the deep is the gulper eel. This creepy critter is part eel and part giant pouch. Like a pelican's enormous pouch-shaped mouth, the mouth of the gulper eel can open quite wide to gulp prey. It has a long tail tipped with a glowing organ that is used to lure in prey. Thanks in part to its tail, the gulper can reach up to six feet in length. Because its tail is so thin, it is not able to pursue prey with any speed, but it can scoop up hundreds of small crustaceans or shrimp in one bite. Often swimming through these prey groups with its mouth wide open, its large jaws allow it to feed on squid and other creatures much larger than itself.
Gulper eels have only been studied because they sometimes get caught in the nets of fishermen. The depths they inhabit make it quite difficult for scientists to study them. They can go as deep as 6,000 feet, well beyond the abilities of humans to pursue them.
Vampire Squid
Perhaps the most frightening of the deep-sea monsters is also the smallest. The vampire squid reaches lengths of only six inches. It is also one of the most ancient of the deep-sea monsters. Scientists believe it to be the last surviving member of its order.
To see the vampire squid is to wonder how many kinds of sea creatures have been mashed into this one odd-looking spook. Part squid, part octopus, and part fish, the vampire squid has features of all of these. First, it has large fins at the top of its head that look like ears. Flapping like Dumbo, the squid uses these fins to get around. It also has tentacles and a large bulbous head like an octopus. Its arms, however, are connected by webbing that allows it to form a cloak around itself when frightened. Like the octopus, it can change its colors, even making its cloak so dark that it appears invisible. Remarkably, it has the largest eyes compared to its body size of any creature on earth. Despite its mere six-inch length, its eyes are as big as those of a large dog. With its glowing orbs of eyes and its disappearing tricks, it's no wonder it's named after one of the most feared creatures of legends and folklore: the vampire.
These creatures make one wonder not just about the odd members of the deep-sea community, but also what mysterious things inhabit the regions never visited by humans. What may be lurking in the deepest, darkest corners of the deep blue seas? One thing we know for certain, much like the outrageous monsters we conjure in our worst nightmares, the deep ocean is an equally imaginative source of shock, awe, and outright fright.
Based on the text, how have sailors contributed to the mystery of deep-sea monsters?
By bringing back specimens from their travels
By creating myths to scare small children
By exaggerating and lying to impress their friends
By telling stories of what they see at sea
Answer:
D: By telling stories of what they see at sea
Explanation:
Because I took the test and more than 1 sailor seen each of these creatures.
I love living in the city there are so many things to do.
Choose the best way to write the above sentence.
A.
I love living in the city; there are so many things to do.
B.
I love living in the city "there are so many things to do."
C.
I love living in the city: there are so many things to do.
D.
I love living in the city, there are so many things to do.
Answer:
I love living in the city, there are so many things to do. (D)
Explanation:
I say so because in answer choice A, nothing is wrong with the sentence, therefore the semicolon does not need to be there.
B is also incorrect because there isn't a person for there to be dialog.
C is also not the answer because no pause is needed between "city" and "there."
With this conclusion, I say D is the answer because without the comma, it would be a run-on sentence. By adding the comma, and the conjunction, you therefore make it into a compound sentence.
I'm stupid, but I hope I did some good! :)
Answer: A
Explanation: I did the other answer and I got it wrong.
One of the themes of the story Cinderella is that in the end good always overcomes evil. So far, based on your reading of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, do you think that the same theme applies to this novel? Why or why not?
Answer: I think the same theme applies to the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird because the novel ends after Bob Sewell attacks Scout and Jen, and Boo Radley rescues them, killing Bob in the process. The good overcame the evil. The conclusion of the novel shows that you must be true to ones self and that you cannot judge someone until you have walked in their shoes.

Is this a
Direct Object
Predicate Adjective
Prepositional Phrase
Verb Phrase
Subject
Adjective
Indirect Object
Predicate Nominative
Answer:
Indirect object.
Explanation:
The object in grammar is defined as the noun or noun phrases that receive the action of the verb. It is mainly of two types: direct and indirect. The direct object is the direct recipient of the action performed by the subject and answers the question of 'what' or whom' while the indirect object receives the direct object which implies it is indirectly receiving the action and answers the question 'to whom.'
In the given sentence, the highlighted word 'CLASS' is the indirect object as it receives the direct object and answers the question 'to whom.' To illustrate, 'Adeja and DaisJa offered help to whom?' which is answered by 'the class' i.e. 'They offered help to the class.' It is indirectly affected by the action of the verb and thus, 'CLASS' is the indirect object.

One of the most unusual of all tall tale animals is the sidehill dodger. It spends its entire life on
a single hdl. This is because the legs on the downhill side of the dodger are longer than the legs
of the uphill side. The dodger can run more quickly than a horse. It will only run around and
around the bill. It can't go up or down the hill at all without tangling its legs. This has given
it the worst temper of any beast in the entire world. A sidehill dodger is almost always angry.
Luckily, the dodger isn't too hard to avoid. Just wait until it is almost upon you. Take two of
three steps downhill. There the dodger can't reach you. It will gnash and stomp and rush away
to hide in shame. The dodgers are almost always ashamed and hiding. That is why you hardly
see one.

Which sentence uses active voice?
Answer:
The answer is B. Jodie caught the bouquet at the wedding.
Explanation:
When using Active voice it goes by Subject-Verb-Object
When using Passive Voice it goes by Object -Verb -Subject.
Sentence B "Jodie caught the bouquet at the wedding" uses active voice. Therefore, option B is correct.
Active voice is a grammatical voice that emphasizes the subject of a sentence as the doer of the action. In an active voice sentence, the subject performs the action described by the verb. This creates a direct and straightforward sentence structure.
In active voice sentences, the subject is typically placed before the verb, and the sentence structure follows a subject-verb-object pattern. Active voice is commonly used in both formal and informal writing.

who is waiting to say farewell to bilbo chapter 18

Thorin Oakenshield
Explanation:
Lord of the Rings book.
Plz click the Thanks button!
<Jayla>
Answer:
When Bilbo awakens, he is still lying with a bad headache on the side of the mountain, but he is otherwise unharmed. From the camps below, he sees that his side has won the battle against the goblins and Wargs. A man comes searching for Bilbo but cannot find him until the hobbit remembers to take off his magic ring. Bilbo is carried back to the camp where Gandalf waits and is delighted to see the hobbit alive. However, there is sad business to attend to. Bilbo must say farewell to Thorin, who is mortally wounded. Thorin asks Bilbo’s forgiveness for the harsh words spoken earlier. Fili and Kili have also been killed, but the rest of the dwarves have survived. Gandalf describes the end of the battle for Bilbo: the eagles, watching the movements of the goblins, came just in time and turned the tide of battle. Yet things still might have gone badly were it not for the sudden appearance of Beorn in the shape of a bear, massive and enraged. This sent the rest of the goblins scattering, and now they are all either dead or in hiding. The dead are buried, and Dain is crowned the new King under the Mountain. The dwarves are at peace with the lake men and the wood elves. Bard is the new Master of Lake Town, and from his share of the treasure, he gives Bilbo a handsome sum. Soon, it is time for the hobbit to return home. He travels with Gandalf and Beorn, taking the long way north around Mirkwood, for nothing could persuade him to enter that forest again. They spend most of the harsh winter at Beorn’s house, with much feasting and merriment. In the spring, they continue on to Rivendell. There, Gandalf and Elrond exchange many tales of great deeds, past and present, while Bilbo recovers from his weariness and wounds through rest and the magic of the elves. Bilbo learns the reason Gandalf left the company near Mirkwood: he was fighting alongside the council of wizards to drive the Necromancer out of the forest. Finally, Bilbo and Gandalf travel the last, long stretch of road back to the hobbit lands. Approaching his home, Bilbo receives a nasty surprise. He has been presumed dead, and the contents of his hill are being auctioned off. Though he puts a stop to the auction and recovers most of his valuables, Bilbo is never again really accepted by the other hobbits. They view his adventuring with skepticism, and his return with gold and tales of dragons and war only confirms the hobbits’ suspicion that Bilbo has gotten in over his head. This Bilbo doesn’t mind now that he has a wizard, elves, and the occasional dwarf coming to visit him, he does not care much for the company of respectable hobbits. Most important, however, he still has his kettle, his pipe, and all the comforts of his home at Bag End Thorin’s parting words resolve The Hobbit’s central conflict. Thorin at last regrets his greed, and he recognizes the value of a race like the hobbits (and particularly of Bilbo), which he had scorned at the beginning of the book. “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world,” Thorin says. Bilbo’s love of food, cheer, and song seem like undesirable qualities when we first meet him in his hill at Bag End. However, the great elves share these qualities, while the ill-fated Thorin does not.
