Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Similes, by definition, are "a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind". They require the use of the word like or as to be considered similes and not metaphors, therefore this is an example of a simile. "His attitude is like a loaded gun" is a simile because his attitude is being compared to a loaded gun through the use of the word "like".

Which detail from the beginning of part 1 of "For the Win" most supports the prediction that Dean will not properly care for his dogs during the race? From track and field to archery, Dean was always the winner, but that wasn't what bothered Jake. "Now Dean shows up to ruin everything," he thought as he checked his gear one last time. "Dean knows nothing about dogs. He simply spent a whole bunch of money to buy a top team and a fancy sled." The blog posts of the last week had only made matters worse. Jake and Dean were the two youngest mushers in this year's race . . .
Answer:
"Dean knows nothing about dogs. He simply spent a whole bunch of money to buy a top team and a fancy sled."
Explanation:
According to the excerpt, Jake grumbles about Dean being the winner in pretty much anything he competes in.
However, he was not bothered about that now, but the fact that Dean does not know anything about dogs, he only spends a lot of money getting dogs and a fancy sled.
Therefore, the detail from the excerpt that supports the prediction that Dean will not properly care for his dogs during the race is the detail where Jake alleges that Dean knows nothing about dogs and insinuates that he would do anything to win because he's spent a lot of money on the dogs.

How is the story of the flood in the epic of gilgamesh similar to the flood story from the bible
Answer:
The story of the flood can be found in many ancient nations' mythology. Here will be given some of the striking similarities between versions of this story from The Epic of Gilgamesh and from The Bible.
Firstly, the flood was sent as a punishment for people's sins and misbehavior. One man was informed about the disaster; in The Bible it was Noah, in the Gilgamesh it was Utnapishtim. Both men built an ark containing many compartments and only one door. All animal species were brought on the boat. Although the flood didn't last the same amount of time in the two stories, its consequences were the same: the water covered the ground and the ark passengers were the only ones left alive.
Also, both boats landed on a mountain peak and both protagonists sent birds to check for nearby land.
Finally, both man offered sacrifice after the flood was over.
Of course, these are only some of the biggest similarities between the two stories. After more careful reading of the stories, one will surely be able to find few similarities more.

The snacks belong to my brother’s friends. The snacks are theirs or his
Answer:
The snacks are theirs.
Explanation:
You said "my brother's". Let's think of this like groups. That means you and your brother are included into one group and his friends are in the other. If you and your brother are in a group, it wouldn't make sense to say they're his. It'd be theirs because his friends are in the other group and it's their candy.
I hope this helps you!
write one paragraph about the things that make you stressed and how you deal with these things
Answer:
School, family, and friends are the things that make me stress a lot. I usually stay quiet and not say a word. But when I do, my family/friends think I'm being a drama queen, and that causes more stress. So, I deal with these things by myself. I try to relax, get some alone time, and forget all my problems. I've learned that stress causes headaches, so I try to clam down and not stress out a lot.
I always make sure that I can at least have a few minutes alone, to clam down and relax. Most of the time, I listen to calming music and breathe in and out. I've been stressing a lot these days, so this is the time I stay silence. But, I've always found a way to relax and not think of the world's expectations of me, but instead think about my expectations of myself.

Answer:
c
Explanation:
tell me if you get it wrong, if you do try a
one of those
Answer:
the real answer is actually A!
While education of Native Americans has improved over the years. Native Americans continue to be isolated from their culture and history in the classroom.
Explanation:
Paragraph 22 in BEHIND THE NATIVE AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT GAP
"What it really boils down to is that, in spite of it all, although the, you know, the residential boarding school system has been reformed, although not eliminated — believe it or not, there are still four Indian boarding schools run by the United States federal government today. They’ve been reformed, so they’re not beating people for the speaking of their tribal languages anymore, but they’ve kind of survived as a vestigial remnant of this experience."
People who have Alzheimer's disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer's is characterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells. Recently scientists have discovered an enzyme, BACE2, that decreases these abnormal protein fragments in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 is a reactant that combines with the abnormal protein fragments.
BACE2 breaks down into smaller pieces that react with the abnormal protein fragments, forming more complex molecules.
BACE2 molecules link several abnormal protein fragments together, forming a complete protein.
Answer:
BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.
Explanation:
BACE2 accelerates the reaction that breaks the fragments of abnormal proteins that cause Alzheimer's disease. With that, this enzyme is able to quickly cut these proteins, called beta-amyloid, into pieces so tiny that it takes the entire molecule to complete destruction. This is very innovative for the treatment of alzheimer's, although much research needs to be done to improve this process and not cause side effects.
How, does the proverbial Russian definition of a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more," apply to flawed heroes like Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Batman? Include examples from the reading to support your conclusion. Your response must cite the articles you read in the lesson.
Imperfect heroes are those who present a history where good and evil are not simple, well-defined and well-defined concepts, but which mix, as in the real way. These heroes have problems defining what is right and what is wrong, in many moments, they have several traumas and problems, but they are able to endure their limitations and imperfections to promote what they believe is right. In other words, these characters believe that if they succeeded, in the midst of the imperfections they have to get where they are, it means that they can take it a little longer. In this sense, we can associate the Russian proverbial about the hero being "the one who can take another minute," with these characters, because they do not give up on good beings, even when it is difficult.
Answer: I couldn't find anything on this either so I hope this helps!
Flawed hero's are a more interesting take on heroic archetypes. Flawed hero's deal with the same internal challenges that we do, often in the works of bettering themselves and overcoming their human issues. This makes them relatable and more inspiring in a sense, because it's instead of seeing something that seems completely out of this world and impossible, you're seeing someone you look up to never give up on being good, even when its hard. With that, we can connect the proverbial Russian definition of. a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more" to flawed hero's because flawed hero's represent relatability, humility, humanism, but also the strength of never giving up.

Read the first stanza of "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls."
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Why does the poet most likely use the words “damp and brown” to describe the sands?
to create a subdued mood within the poem
to make the poem more haunting or unsettling
to give a sense of the time of year
to evoke sadness within the reader

Question 2

"She even loved playing softball; she had a wickedly fast windmill pitch, having played throughout college and graduate school and on the law firm's recreational team."
"She was American, just as much as she was Korean, and even though her mother wouldn't have wanted her to do it, starting the food truck was Ji-Suk's way of honoring her mother and showing that she valued what her mother had taught her."
"...she'd made Ji-Suk take Korean lessons every Saturday morning followed by violin lessons in the afternoon—and cooked kimchi and other Korean delicacies with her at least once a week..."
Answer:Part A : The statement that best states a central idea in the text about children of immigrants is "They are pulled between the traditions of their parents' culture and the changes required by a new culture."
