Answers

Answer 1

I was walking alone near a supermarket at 9 pm. As I was about to cross the road I remembered that I had left my wallet at home, with all my money in it. I scolded and complained to myself for being so casual about my commitments, but I had to go back home to get my wallet, as there was nothing else I could do.

I took a deep breath and started walking back to the house. Halfway there, I was hit by a violent rain. "Excellent!" I thought, "It was just what I needed to make my day more perfect," I said angrily. I started to run so I wouldn't get soaked when I heard a noise near a tree. It was the meowing of a kitten that was freezing to death, trying to protect itself from the rain at the tubular roots of the tree. I got close to it and it flinched in fear, but I caught it lovingly and tucked it under my jacket. All my anger began to pass and I realized that fate had planned for me to forget my wallet so I could help a stray kitten.

the quotient of 30 and the difference of 12 and 6

Answers

Answer:

The quotient of 30 and the difference of 12 and 6 is equal to 5.

Explanation:

In this problem, three number are given i.e. 30, 12 and 6.

We need to write the value of the quotient of 30 and the difference of 12 and 6.

The difference of 12 and 6 is 6.

Quotient means to divide i.e. we will divide 30 by 6.

So,

30/6 = 5

So, the quotient of 30 and the difference of 12 and 6 is equal to 5.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{30}{12-6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine the correct expression

So we know for sure that we will be doing 12 - 6 because we have the part where it says the difference of 12 and 6.  Looking back at the statement we can see that the quotient of 30 and the rest which means that 30 would be the numerator and located at the top.

Answer: [tex]\frac{30}{12-6}[/tex]

What is the irony in the following quote?
MACBETH: “I drink to the general joy o' the whole table,
And to our dear friend Banquo, whom we miss;
Would he were here!

1. Macbeth misses Banquo.
2. Macbeth wishes Banquo was there because he is seeing his bloody ghost.
3. Macbeth is scared about what the future brings for himself and his country.
4. Macbeth is sad because he knows what he has done.

Answers

Answer:

2. Macbeth wishes Banquo was there because he is seeing his bloody ghost.

Explanation:

Based on this particular scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth, Macbeth is haunted by the ghost of Banquo who he murdered in the presence of guests and he begins to act strangely. He regains his composure and makes this speech, toasting to Banquo and saying he "miss" him and wish "he were here".

The irony here is that Macbeth is tormented by Banquo's ghost but makes a speech saying that Banquo was missed and it would be much better if he were there.

Analyze the sentence to determine whether it contains a dangling construction or is written correctly. While driving to school, the front tire blew out.

Answers

Answer:

This sentence has a dangling construction.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier in a sentence is a word or phrase that is supposed to modify another word. A dangling modifier is one that does not refer to anything in specific, which makes it ambiguous. Let's take a look at the sentence:

"While driving to school, the front tire blew out."

The modifier is "while driving to school". Because of its position, it may initially sound as if the front tire was driving to school. We know that to be impossible, and that this modifier refers to a person who was driving. However, that person is not mentioned in the sentence, and that is precisely the problem here. The modifier is not referring to the word it should. One possible way to correct this dangling construction is to add the person who was performing the action to the sentence:

- While I was driving to school, the front tire blew out.

The Grimms’ fairy tales address the experiences of people who are living in difficult situations. For example, there is the story of Rapunzel. There is also the story of Hansel and Gretel, who had to escape their house in order to find food and were locked out.

Which revision would best help the author support the thesis more effectively?

Answers

This question is missing the answer choices. I found the complete question online. The answer choices are the following:

A. The author should explain why Hansel and Gretel were locked out.

B. The author should explain how Rapunzel's story fits into the thesis.

C. The author should add one more story as an example to support the thesis.

D. The author should explain why Hansel and Gretel's situation is difficult.

Answer:

The revision which would best help the author support the thesis more effectively is:

B. The author should explain how Rapunzel's story fits into the thesis.

Explanation:

The author's thesis or main idea is that the fairy tales by the Grimm brothers address difficult situations. In order to support that idea, the author then mentions two fairy tales as examples. He does explain why the story of Hansel and Gretel is related to the thesis - the siblings suffered with hunger and even ended up locked out of their home. However, he does not do the same for Rapunzel's story. We know the author thinks this story too addresses a difficult situation, but we do not know why. Therefore, the best revision to support the thesis more effectively is:

B. The author should explain how Rapunzel's story fits into the thesis.

THATS THE EQUATION BUT WHAT THE HECK IS THAT LANGUAGE IDU        ( I DONT UNDERSTAND) SORRY

Lol, I'll give 15 points for this.

Imagine it is 1934. Twelve-year-old Wong Kai Chong leaves China and climbs aboard an enormous ship that will be his home for nearly a month. He journeys across the Pacific Ocean with dozens and dozens of other people who dream of a new life in America. Kai's father is waiting for him in San Francisco.

2Kai's heart leaps when he finally sees the beautiful California coast. Kai knows he isn't safe yet, though. Before Kai can become an American, he must pass an interview with the immigration officers. Kai is detained, or held, at an immigration station near San Francisco called Angel Island. He waits there, like a prisoner, until the immigration officers decide whether or not to let him into America.

3During Kai's interview, the immigration officers don't seem to care that he is young, scared, and far away from his home and family for the first time. “What is the name of your village in China?” the officer barks. “How many rooms were there in your house? What did the chairs look like?” Kai knows that his answers must match what his father said before him. If they don't, he will be sent back to China.

4Kai's story is told in the book, Kai's Journey to Gold Mountain. It is the fictional account of the challenges faced by more than 175,000 Chinese immigrants who came to America between 1910 and 1940.

Coming to America
5It wasn't always so hard for Chinese people to enter the United States. The first Chinese immigrants, almost all men, arrived during the California gold rush in the mid-1800s. Gold Mountain, as they called America, was full of opportunities for Chinese immigrants. Many worked at farming, mining, and building railroads, and they were able to send money home to their families in China. Compared to the hard life that many people had in China, life on Gold Mountain was a dream.

6As more and more Chinese immigrated, however, America became less welcoming. There was a job shortage in the United States, and American laborers resented the Chinese for being willing to work for lower pay. In 1882, the U.S. government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, making it almost impossible for Chinese workers to enter the United States. There was one group of Chinese, however, that could not be legally kept out of the country—those with a parent who was a United States citizen. Just as it is now, American law guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States and to anyone whose parent is a U.S. citizen, regardless of their birthplace.

7Of course, many Chinese who wanted to immigrate to the United States did not have a parent here. Their solution was to become “paper sons” and “paper daughters” by buying fake papers showing a parent residing in the United States. They could do this because Chinese who had already entered the United States would often list many people from their village or town as their sons and daughters in an effort to help others enter. This was especially easy to do after 1906, when a great earthquake in San Francisco destroyed most, if not all, of the official records.

Immigration Station
8In 1910, an immigration station opened on tiny Angel Island outside of San Francisco, off the California coast. The purpose of the Angel Island Immigration Station was to enforce the Chinese Exclusion Act. As Chinese entered San Francisco, they were inspected. Those who did not enter the country immediately were sent to Angel Island for further questioning. Angel Island was very different from the immigration station on Ellis Island—the New York entry port on the other side of the country.

9In contrast to Ellis Island, where immigrants were processed and allowed entry fairly quickly, the goal of the officials at Angel Island was to deport, or send back, as many people as possible (see table). They asked the newly arrived immigrants detailed and difficult questions about the Chinese village they had come from or their family history. They tried to trap the immigrants into giving answers different from those of their resident “parent.” Immigrants were detained on the island for weeks, months, and even years. Immigrants whose witnesses lived in the eastern United States could wait an especially long time. Detained immigrants spent most of their time crowded into military-style barracks, or bunkhouses. It was a lonely, frustrating, and often depressing experience.



Powerful Poetry
10Angel Island's doors finally closed in 1940 when China and the United States became allies during World War II (1939–1945). Then, in the 1970s, a park ranger found poetry painted, written, and engraved on the walls of the barracks. The poems describe the boredom, sadness, and even anger that many people felt during their time at Angel Island.

Answers

Answer:

They could not understand the writing

Explanation:

Logically, this is the most likely option. The chinese language is very complex, and is comprised of complex symbols, very much unlike the english language.  Though the immigration officers might have communicated a lot with chinese people, it was unlikely that they understood the writing, or even wanted to (based on the attitude they had).

Process of elimination:

C - It never says that there was grafitti at Ellis island, therefore we can deduce this is not the answer (most likely)

D - The fact that the immigrants were from china is important, but does not explain why the officers dismissed the writing as grafitti.

B - This is the next most likely option, but I chose A over it because it makes the most sense (logically) Its hard to pick though, because it also never states that the writing was in chinese characters, but I chose A anyway because there's a higher chance they would write something in their own language to either, 1, prevent the officers from understanding, or 2, prevent the writing from offending any officers (which would have been possible, had they understood what it meant in english)

There's a lot more reasons why A is the best choice, but heres a basic rundown.

Subject: Problems faced by residents of ABC Apartment complex.

Dear Sir,

It is with a deep concern for the welfare of the community that I am writing to you about several issues that are presently affecting our locality.

First are the damaged roads and street lights, which leave the roads dark and dangerous at night. There have been numerous accidents that were at times too extreme.

Secondly, there's the issue of water shortage which has left many of the residents unable to even prepare their meals on time. Some are even left to cook their meals with bottled water from the shops, which is expensive.

And thirdly, I would also like to point out the issue of the garbage collection system. Recently, the collectors have stopped coming to our locality, leaving residents unable to dispose of their wastes and stinking the whole area. This has also led to an increase in mosquitoes which is dangerous for us all.

I hope this letter gets your attention. We are looking forward to any response or solution from the concerned authorities.

Thank you.

Regards,

Mr. Ashish Sharma
