Answer:
Captain Nemo, probably the most famous character created by the godfather of science fiction, 19th-century French writer Jules Verne, was a broken genius driven to acts of evil by the desire for revenge. He was the better known as the submarine maker. His mysterious and enigmatic style - equal parts hard and vengeful and calm and feeling - leads readers to never quite understand who he is or what he's about.
He was tall and bold and has wide-set eyes. His sharp fetures with a well defined long nose made it hard for author to tell his age, whether he was 30 or 50.
Unlike other famous fictitious characters, he's a villain

Which sentence from the chrysanthemums most contributes to elisas impatient tone? A. "No. My scissors are all sharp" B. "She touched the under edge of her man's hat, searching for fugitive hairs. C. "That sounds like a nice kind of way to live," she said. D. Elisa took off her gloves
Answer:
A. "No. My scissors are all sharp"
Explanation:
"Chrysanthemums" is a short story that features the lonely and boring life of Elisa Allen. She feels her life is frustrated and undervalued as all the things she dreamed of never happened and seems lost to her. Elisa has never been able to have a child and feels that her husband does not love her or even support her. Furthermore, she has no freedom and lives in an endless monotony, using gardening as the only way to stay distracted. Elisa is very impatient when a man insists on selling her scissors. She doesn't want new scissors as this is irrelevant to her life and all the frustrations she experiences. For this reason, she speaks impatiently, expressing all her frustration that she doesn't need scissors, as all the ones she has are already sharp.
In 80-100 words , write a paragraph about the benefits that TV brings our daily life
Answer:
w8hxdjiendksnsjejsuebwkwwlowkwbsbsudbdueudhdkelwksnshsdbdhdbdubdjdjdkeiekejejejejejejjddjeiiejdjdjejejejejekelsoeoksduuffkeosudbrneekiehbejeuebrmddirjrjrirnkr
Answer:
1. In this busy, expensive life, television is an easy and cheap source of entertainment.
2. By watching international news, we are kept informed and up-to-date with breaking news around the world.
3. Some shows and channels (like PBS and Discovery) offer educational programs that can increase our knowledge and make us more aware of the world around us.
4. Do-it-yourself shows give us easy access to all kinds of information: Cooking channels offer new recipes and methods, home improvement shows introduce us to many money-saving DIY tips, and financial advisers give advice for managing finances and investing money, for example. Television can also be a good way to help people learn a different language.
5. Some shows can motivate people who are interested in that field and help them to pursue their dreams.
6. Television can help you feel less lonely. Psychologists coined the term "social surrogacy" to explain how television can fill the shoes of absent friends or family. In one study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers found that people who watch a favorite TV show report feeling less lonely during the show.
7. TV can expand your mind. Some shows let you travel vicariously and teach you about different people, cultures, ideas, and places you might never encounter in real life. Watching a variety of shows might give us a broader understanding of the world we live in and expose us to things we might otherwise never come across in our own lives.
8. TV can make you feel like part of a group and let you participate in a shared subculture. In social situations where you may find yourself surrounded by strangers with whom you have nothing in common, a popular show or televised sporting event might give you something to talk about.
9. Gathering around the television gives families, friends, and strangers something to bond over. Even if you're not interested in the Olympics, watching the games with your family might bring you closer together; reminiscing about shows you've watched together gives you shared history and memories.
10. There may be certain health benefits to watching television. If a certain show makes you laugh, for example, then an argument can be made for its mood-elevating merits. While exercising, television can distract you from what you're doing and therefore enable you to last longer on the treadmill (there's a good reason why so many gyms have televisions, after all!). One study from the University of Rochester found that people felt more energetic after watching nature scenes.
Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. "I can't pretend that I shall ever like him," said the lawyer. "I don't ask that," pleaded Jekyll, laying his hand upon the other's arm; "I only ask for justice; I only ask you to help him for my sake, when I am no longer here." Utterson heaved an irrepressible sigh. "Well," said he, "I promise." Which type of conflict is most suggested by the line "Utterson heaved an irrepressible sigh"? character vs. Nature character vs. Society character vs. Self character vs. Character
Answer:
Character vs. Self.
Explanation:
A conflict is when a character's development or success is obstructed by some force, sidetracking the character. In other words, a conflict is when an obstacle poses a threat to the development or success of the character.
In the given excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", Dr. Jekyll asked his friend and lawyer Mr. Utterson to "help [Hyde] for my sake, when I am no longer here." And although Mr. Utterson dislikes Mr. Hyde, he decided to 'comply' with his friend's request, with "an irrepressible sigh." This is a conflict of the character and his self. The conflict is within the character of Mr. Utterson only, an inner conflict.
Thus, the correct answer is character vs. self.

List TWO Emotions/Feelings you have while watching "THE DANGER OF A SINGLE STORY BY:Chimamanda Adichie and explain why
2) Recently your school organised a presentation on 'Effect of pollution on quality of
life'. As the editor of the school magazine, you were requested to write a report on
the event and suggestions to improve this event. Make sure you give the purpose
of the report and conclude by saying how successful you think the event was
overall.
Recently our school decided to get involved in environmental causes. This effort began within the school itself, in an event called "Effect of pollution on quality of life," which showed students how pollution has been harmful and how it should be resolved as quickly as possible.
By observing all the photos and comments about the event, which has been taking over the entire school throughout the week, we can see that the event was a success, as it managed to make the entire school staff and all members of the school recognize that combating pollution is essential and must be taken on by us, ordinary teenagers who will experience the results of environmental destruction in the not-too-distant future.
I believe that the greatest proof of the success of this event has been the formation of groups within the school, which are organizing to promote beach cleaning, selective collection, environmental education in their communities, among other ways to help nature to get rid of pollution.
This is a small step to make our students more aware, but it is a big step to create a cleaner and more comfortable future where we will all be greatly favored.

Answer:
Describe something you did in your life regarding the question
Explanation:
Its asking you about something YOU did in your life, so there is no right or wrong answer, either explain something that you did in your life that answers the question, or make up a story about something that happened.

You can say something like "I tried to bake a cake for my mothers birthday and I put the wrong ingredients in, and burnt it. I had to throw it away because of how burnt and disgusting it turned out." Then in the third box you can write: "I burnt the cake because I wasn't paying attention to the stove, and I was just mixing random ingrediants in that i felt would make a perfect cake. I resolved the situation by following a cake recipe, and setting a timer for the cake so i won't burn it." Something like that.

Performance Task#2: Think of one person you admire for showing a positive attitude during this pandemic. Then, provide at least a 3-4-sentence description of what he/she does worth imitating. (5 Points)
Answer and Explanation:
My mother had a very positive attitude during the pandemic. She never complained about the boredom and insecurity that pamdemia brought, she followed all the security protocols, gave positive advice so that everyone around her also used the security protocols and tried to make our quarantine period as fun and exciting as possible.
She always told us to have hope and confidence that this period would end if we all cooperated and that we should protect ourselves. She reinforced that this was a difficult period by nature and we shouldn't make it more difficult with negative attitudes. This is a perspective worth imitating.

As a result, your painting will have a natural effect similar to the way that sunlight strikes an object.
Answer:

Therefore, the sentence that uses a transitional expression that signals a sequence is "To begin, dip the paintbrush in water"
This is because, the transition signals shows that there is about to be a sequence by listing out steps to do something.

2. How is one’s attempt to achieve the American Dream affected by a particular environment?
3. How is the American Dream achieved?
4. How does the American Dream fall short?
5. Offer 2 perspectives of what the American Dream is.
(I need this by tonight at 11:00 PM)
Answer:
1. At a psychological level, the drama and titillation of violent scenarios serve to create a sense of excitement, potency and significance that is missing from most people's daily lives.
When we consider media violence, we think first of television's increasingly violent content. We fear that a populace incessantly bombarded with the images, sounds and emotions of shootings, bombings and rapes will become desensitized to such violent acts; or worse, learn to think of them as valid responses to life's growing stresses. The evidence suggests these fears are valid.
But media violence also affects us at a deeper and ultimately more problematic level. To make these connections, we must look beyond the literal content on the screen to the subliminal dynamics that animate them, as well as the social context that gives them their power.
2. The American dream is the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society in which upward mobility is possible for everyone. The American dream is believed to be achieved through sacrifice, risk-taking, and hard work, rather than by chance.

Why does Gandhi repeat the pattern with the phrase "justice based on [violence] but justice based on
[sacrifice of self], justice based on [Yangna and Kurani]?
Answer:
Gandhi repeats the expression "Justice based on" to reinforce the importance of justice in human activities.
Explanation:
By repeating the expression "Justice based on" Gandhi wants to reinforce the idea that justice must be present in all our activities, since it is the most influential factor in human progress and success, but it is important that justice is based on positive things for this progress to really occur and for justice to be, in fact, fair. In this case, a justice based on violence is not a correct and admirable justice and for that reason, it should not be encouraged.
