Answer:
“At first the rain had merely splotched the dust, which seemed to be rejoicing in its own resiliency and laughing at the heavy drops thudding against it; but eventually the dust was forced to surrender to the mastery of the rain and it churned into a fine red mud that oozed between our toes and slopped against our ankles as we marched miserably to and from school.” This is a paragraph that really stands out to me because it is so beautifully written. Summarizing the paragraph, The children are walking to school and it has started raining. The rain is converting the dust in the air and the dirt on the ground into wet mud. The experience is more miserable when you find out the Logans are bare foot while walking too and from school.

Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn becomes available, henceforth, as a place of residence to thousands, to whom the ability to reach their places of business without interruption from fog and ice is of paramount importance. To all Brooklyn's present citizens a distinct boon is given. The certainty of communication with New York afforded by the Bridge is the fundamental benefit it confers.
Read the following summary of the excerpt.
It is great that the Brooklyn Bridge finally created new business opportunities by allowing the citizens of Brooklyn to easily commute to Manhattan.
Which of the following flaws can be found in this summary of the excerpt?
The summary gives the reader’s personal opinion.
The summary does not include the main idea.
The summary is written in the mayor’s words.
The summary includes unimportant details.
Answer:

Explanation:
"it is great" indicates the readers personal opinion, which based on your other questions seems like what you don't want in a summary
Answer:A (gives personal opinion)
Explanation:
But when the frames of poles were made into tepees by being covered with cloth and skins, White Fang was astounded. It was the colossal bulk of them that impressed him. They arose around him, on every side, like some monstrous quick-growing form of life. They occupied nearly the whole circumference of his field of vision. He was afraid of them. They loomed ominously above him; and when the breeze stirred them into huge movements, he cowered down in fear, keeping his eyes warily upon them, and prepared to spring away if they attempted to precipitate themselves upon him.
What does White Fang’s interaction with the setting reveal?
It reveals how differently White Fang and the humans view their environment.
It reveals how excited White Fang is to be in a new environment.
It reveals how White Fang’s relationship with the humans is changing from one of fear to one of trust.
It reveals how White Fang has almost completely forgotten about his life in the wild.
Answer:
A) It reveals how differently White Fang and the humans view their environment.
Explanation:
White Fang is a novel that was written by Jack London. It tells us the story of a wolfdog that goes from a violent owner to a more of a friend than an owner Scott.
In this excerpt, we are described how White Fang reacts to tepees (Native American tents made of poles and cloths/skins). He was surprised and confused by how many of them were and how fast they appeared one after another. The wind intensified the effect of tall, scary structures on White Fang.
So, in the eyes of Indians, tepees are shelters from cold, wind, rain, wild animals, etc, but for a dog who adjusts to the human way of living, they are nothing but something to be afraid of.

Read this excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy" by
Susan E. Quinlan.
What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?
O to describe what Larry does with the gulls' eggs
to highlight how defensive gulls are of their nests
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture
gulls
Capturing and rebanding an adult gull is much more difficult
than capturing a small flightless chick. Resourceful as always,
Larry developed a special capture technique. He rigged up a
tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole. Knowing the fight a two-and-a-half-pound adult gull might
put up, he scared the bird off its nest and replaced its fragile
eggs with dummy eggs. Next, he laid the noose around the nest
and moved away. A trail of fishing line led from the noose to the
fishing pole and reel in his hands. Crouching low, Larry waited
for the retum of the bird in need of rebanding. When the
moment was right, he reeled in the line, tightening the noose
around the gulls legs.
O to emphasize the materials that Larry used
Answer:
to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls
Explanation:
This is true due to the starting statement in the opening percepts about the gull and how difficult it happens to be to capture it. For Larry to be able to succeed, he has no other option than to improvise. He did this by "He rigged up a tool using a rope noose, monofilament fishing line, and a fishing
pole."
Answer: to explain how Larry used his cleverness to capture gulls

1. if you could travel back in time, what years would you go to? Why?
2. what would have been different about your life if you had grown up in another country?
Answer:
I would go back to 69 BC, Egypt & Be in Cleopatra's court!!!
Here's why : Cleopatra is arguably the most fascinating woman who has ever lived. The Pharaoh is so captivating that at least 2000 years after her death, there are nearly 200 films, TV movies and documentaries and almost 4000 books written about her.
Contrary to the popular belief that Cleopatra was merely a seductress (a tactic she used sometimes), it was her political prowess that lifted her status to legendary. She used her femininity and brilliant tactics to maintain her own political power during some of the most dangerous and complicated times the world has ever seen.
Cleopatra was a brilliant, curious, and highly educated child who spoke at least 6 languages (some scholars say 9) and was allowed to sit in on political meetings with her father. She was only 18-years-old in 51 BC when her father died and left. Egypt to her to co-rule with her 10-year-old brother. However, the Ptolemaic (Cleo’s family) empire was unstable and Cleopatra was living in exile in Syria and could not claim her throne. Meanwhile, Julius Caesar made a grand entrance into Egypt to protect Rome's main economic interest: the agricultural wealth of the Nile Valley. Egypt was financially indebted to Rome and Cleopatra was raised watching Roman power render her father’s authority impotent. She hatched a (now legendary) scheme to sneak herself into the palace rolled up in a carpet for an audience with Caesar with the awareness that his diplomatic intervention could help her regain her throne. When Cleopatra tumbled out of an unfurled carpet in front of the 52-year-old general, she made a profound impression that was the beginning of a powerful relationship. Caesar fell madly in love with the courageous Egyptian Queen and Cleopatra gave birth to a son, Caesarion, securing her future as a partner with the Roman Empire. Caesar shocked his country when he erected a golden statue of Cleopatra in the middle of Rome. With his help Cleopatra became the sole Queen and Pharaoh ruling Egypt.
When Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, Cleopatra wasted no time in finding a new partner in Roman general Mark Antony. Cleopatra fought fiercely to keep Octavian, Caesar's heir and Antony's rival, from conquering Egypt. Gender traditions did not restrict Cleopatra’s ferocious battle to save Egypt. She was the first woman to take a fleet to sea and on horseback into battlefield. When the Romans set fire to her beloved library, the Great Library of Alexandria, Cleopatra locked herself within the palace walls. Mark Anthony, gravely wounded in battle, returned to the palace to die in her arms. Her final act in her stupendous life was inciting an asp, a poisonous snake, to bite her. Shakespeare described her death vividly in his play Antony and Cleopatra.
I would love to be in her time & witness it all first hand - her seductive prowess, intelligence, mannerisms, likability, politics & using people to reach her goal.
1. If one could go back in time, the perfect time and place to be would be Europe between the 13th and 16th centuries.
2. Growing up in another country would mean different sensibilities, preferences, experiences, viewpoints, and a different understanding of the world.
1Why would one go to 13th to 16th century Europe? The period between the 13th and 16th centuries is special as it saw a rapid growth in independent thought, cultural endeavours, social changes, and explorations. This period in European history is called the Renaissance. Rennaisance means rebirth, and it marks a rebirth in the schools of thought surrounding various aspects of life, including art, literature, politics, theatre, theology, and much more. It would be interesting to go back to this time to see how various developments took place and to meet the people behind the socio-cultural shift of this time. What would be different about life if one grew up in a different country? Firstly, each country has its own set of cultures and traditions. Growing up in another country would mean that you would be accustomed to these cultures and traditions. You would be familiar with people living in different socio-cultural and socio-economic environments, and you would be better off navigating these differences. You would have a better worldview and a much deeper appreciation for diversity and difference.Learn more about the Renaissance here-

The human and economic costs of the attacks were horrendous. As of August 2016, six out of every 10
dead bodies in the twin Towers had not been identified. They were either completely burned or so
disfigured that their names could not be established with certainty.
Thousands of other New Yorkers, and the victims of the attack on the Pentagon, still suffer from their
injuries. The damage to buildings ran into billions of dollars. 15 years after 9/11, the construction of
three new World Trade Towers was still far from finished.
And throughout the shocked Western World, governments took unprecedented5 measures to prevent
more terrorist atrocities.
Air travel across the United States and Canada was almost completely suspended for three days; from
coast to coast, communities, sports clubs, and other organizations cancelled or postponed events that
could attract large crowds and offer targets for terrorists. Similar precautions were taken by some
European countries. In the United Kingdom, for instance, civilian aircraft were forbidden from flying
over London for several days after the attack.
The U.S. government was reorganized and put on emergency footing. The Congress created a
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) tasked with a huge mission: preventing terrorism disasters,
and managing border security, immigration, customs, and cybersecurity.
