Explanation:
From Story A since we are told that the boy gets caught stealing in a crowded high school lunchroom it is very possible for many to become aware of his actions; bringing him more shame and punishment.
However, in Story B, since we are told the boy was caught stealing in a four-person lifeboat that has been drifting at sea for three days, it is reasonable to believe that the protagonist (the boy) would face far lesser punishment because of the circumstances;
Remember, we are told that the lifeboat has been drifting at sea for three days, which means there may have been insufficient food onboard which likely lead to the theft.Because the number of those that are onboard is lesser, he will face lesser punishment.Answer: story A: since the room is more congested, more irregular individuals detect that the individual has been seen robbing; thus, their intention is slightly acting. The protagonist's intention is not to look as sinister. Whereas in story B, the ship's individuals are numerous, exhausted, and likely to have eaten a lot. Therefore, they are powerless to get mad or, should I express it, hungry, so the protagonist could be abused or examined highly poorly in that setting.

The Sniper Assessment Questions Part A: Which statement best identifies a theme of the short story?
Answer:
Soldiers disconnect from their humanity in battle and focus on others as adversaries.
Explanation:
Liam O'Flaherty's short story "The Sniper," tells the story of how a Republican sniper killed his own brother amidst the split in the army between the "Republicans and Free Staters". The story's main theme seems to be the inexcusable nature of war that separates families and even made them enemies.
The sniper succeeded in locating the enemy sniper who thought that he had successfully taken him out. The ruse of putting his army cap on top of his rifle worked and brought the other sniper out in the open. It was then that he successfully take out his enemy. But while escaping from his present location amidst the rain of bullets, he had the strange urge to see who he had killed. And once he lifted the lifeless body of the dead sniper, he discovered it was "his brother's face" that greeted him.
Thus, the statement that best identifies the story's theme is that soldiers are disconnected to their human side when on the battlefield and sees everyone as their enemies, foes.

The checkered cab company charges a flat rate of $1.75 flat rate in addition to $0.65 per mile. Mandy has no more than $12.00 to spend on a cab ride. Write an inequality to represent the situation. How many miles can Mandy travel without exceeding her limit?
Answer: 15.769 miles
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a checkered cab company charges a flat rate of $1.75 flat rate in addition to $0.65 per mile. Mandy has no more than $12.00 to spend on a cab ride.
Let the miles that Mandy can travel without exceeding her limit be represented by y.
The inequality will now be:
1.75 + 0.65y ≤ 12
0.65y ≤ 12 - 1.75
0.65y ≤ 10.25
y ≤ 10.25/0.65
y ≤ 15.769
Mandy can travel 15.769 miles without exceeding her limit?

What does the reader learn about August through Via's eyes?
Answer and explanation:
Wonder is a novel written by R.J. Palacio. We are introduced to the Pullman family, but mostly with its youngest member August. He is a ten-year-old boy with a facial deformation, which makes it hard to accept himself as he is and to deal with the children at school. Via, his older sister, has her own problems, she starts going to high school while her friends start avoiding her. As the parents are occupied with August, who started going to school for the first time in his life, they pay attention to Via even less than before. With the death of her grandma, who was the only member of the family that was completely committed to Via, things are hard for her too. Via understands why children avoid August, they are all afraid of something that is different than usual, but that thought did not last long, as she knows that August is like any other child. Though she understands why he needs so much attention from parents, she still gets jealous. And she minds being always marked as a deformed kid`s sister Also, she believes that they need to stop indulging August as he needs to confront the real world and be able to lead his own battles, which he will never learn if they don`t let him. She cares about him, when he wanted to give up school because of the mean children, she talked him out of it.

In 1948, Shirley Jackson wrote a popular story called “The Lottery.” In the story, a town holds a drawing every spring that everyone must enter. No one knows where the tradition came from. When it is time for the lottery, the town has a large celebration. Then, everyone must draw a slip of paper. The person who draws a slip of paper with a black dot must be sacrificed.
Which details in this contemporary story were likely influenced by the story of Theseus and the Minotaur? Check all that apply.
holding a yearly drawing
having a large celebration
not knowing where a tradition came from
using the color black to indicate the unlucky winner
sacrificing people from the town every year
Answer:
- Holding a yearly drawing
- Using the color black to indicate the unlucky winner
- Sacrificing people from the town every year
Explanation:
Since the brief summary of "The Lottery" is already given, let's remind ourselves of the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
King of Crete has set an ultimatum to the Athenian king; he will either destroy the Athens or 7 men and 7 women will be sacrificed each year to the Minotaur. So, like in Shirley Jackson's story, there was an annual drawing, and the unlucky winners who drew black balls were taken to Crete as a human sacrifice. When Theseus grew strong enough, he volunteered to go as one of seven men planning on killing the Minotaur.
So, the origin of a tradition is known and there was no celebration in this Greek mythology story, which makes other three options correct.

What prior notions did the pilgrims have about the Indians before meeting
them?
Answer:
They did not know many things about the indians. They only knew that they were very different from them, looked different, had other customs, and had a different religion.
Precisely because of this last aspect: religious differences, the pilgrims did not have a very positive opinion of the indians. Pilgrims were very close-minded, because they believed that the calivnist version of protestant christianity was the only valid form of religion.
is the bold clause or phrase a dangling modifier? O
Perry the Platypus's training classes were attended
before becoming a yo-yo expert.
Dangling Modifier
No Error
k
Answer:
It is a dangling modifier.
Explanation:
I'll assume that the bolded phrase was before becoming a yo-yo expert.
A modifier is a word that gives more information about another word. A dangling modifier is a modifier that could be misinterpreted as being associated with a word other than the one intended. Accordingly, in the given sentence, we could think that the phrase before becoming a yo-yo expert could refer to the training classes instead of Perry the Platypus.
