A “Cassandra” is someone who warns other people of a future danger but is not believed or heeded. The term comes from a story in Greek mythology in which Cassandra, the daughter of a king and queen, was given the gift of accurately seeing the future by the god Apollo, who was in love with her. However, when she did not love him back, Apollo became angry and placed a spell that prevented anyone from believing her predictions. Question 1 of 12 What is the overall purpose of this passage? Answers Answers Answer Letter Answer A To relate a story from Greek mythology B To explain the origin of a term C To emphasize the need to take some predictions seriously D To show how difficult it is to predict future events
Answer:
B. To explain an origin of the term
Hopefully it will be helpful
Answer:
I think the author chose the name Cassie because they both have the ability to tell the future, but nobody believes them.
The following is evidence that nobody believed Cassie when she predicted the future:
1. Cassie shifted her gaze back to the planet and said, “Dad, I have a very bad feeling about this.”
2. “Dad, do you think we should just send a probe down there?” Cassie spoke a little louder this time and fidgeted while she waited for his reply; her knuckles turned white and cracked loudly as her hands tightened into fists at her side.
3. Cassie gripped the ship deck’s railing tightly to stay upright. “Dad, I think I can see some wreckage down there,” she replied, a tremor in her voice. Telemach smiled patiently. “Those are just shadows from that crater, Cassie.”

Read the following sentence. Last year, the council members blank happy to visit their sister city in Argentina. Choose the verb that makes this sentence correct. a. were b. are c. was d. is
Answer:
a. were
Explanation:
In any given sentence, the subject-verb agreement dictates the verb form of the sentence. And accordingly, the tense of the verb also depends on the subject, whether it is singular or plural.
In the given sentence "Last year, the council members ____ happy to visit their sister city in Argentina", the subject is "council members". And so, depending on this, we can easily deduce that the verb will be in the plural form. As the subject is plural, we will use "were". So, the final sentence will become
"Last year, the council members were happy to visit their sister city in Argentina".
Thus, the correct answer is option a.

Which evidence from the Newsela article “Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients" best supports the inference that patients have a major role in their own treatment?
A. A movement called narrative medicine has been growing. It comes from the idea that both writing and reading literature can help doctors and patients to communicate better. Together they can discover meaning in the illnesses they battle.
B. Getting rid of these thoughts and emotions helps to find meaning in the death or the survival of a patient—and then allows you to move on with your life.
C. Harper says doctors who read stories are more understanding and, therefore, more compassionate or caring, more willing to listen to their patients’ stories. It also helps doctors to communicate better.
D. Because we empathize, or feel what others are feeling, we expand our understanding of other people in other situations. We are also less bothered by our own misfortunes.
(please help I need 100% on this)
Answer: A. A movement called narrative medicine has been growing. It comes from the idea that both writing and reading literature can help doctors and patients to communicate better. Together they can discover meaning in the illnesses they battle.
Explanation:
It has long been acknowledged in the medical field that poor communication between patients and health workers have led to several fatalities. Indeed a study in the 1900s found that between 44,000 and 98,000 patient deaths in a year resulted from poor communication. While that was a long time ago, it is still a troubling figure.
This is where Narrative Medicine comes in. It is believed that if both patients and doctors can read and write more literature they will be able to enunciate better the symptoms that they feel and doctors would then be able to pick up conditions faster which would mean less misdiagnosis.
Patients therefore play a major role in their own treatment because they have to be able to communicate better, the symptoms they feel and they can do this by reading and writing more.

Open-ended
Explanation:
Open-ended questions are questions that cannot be answered with a yes or no as an answer and requires the respondent to give a detailed reply.
These types of questions help the interviewer to see things from the perspective of the interviewee as the response tends to be original instead of rehearsed answers.
An example of an open-ended question is: 'Where do you want to be in five years?'
These types of questions can be used when things get tense in an interview.
iterary Text: Historical Fiction
Read this passage. Then, answer the question(s).
(1) It was a fine harbor, well protected from the sea, yet with the sea easily reachable through navigable waters. (2) The vessel sailed for the Dutch West India Company, its mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct company trade. (3) The best location, it was decided, was the tip of the hilly island the natives called Manna-hata. (4) Dutch being unfamiliar to the natives, the captain employed broken French and a great deal of sign language to arrange for the purchase. (5) For goods worth only about sixty Dutch guilders—cloth, kettles, knives, shirts—he concluded what he thought was a splendid bargain, acquiring the island for the company.
(6) The Tall One spoke as best he could to the strangers from across the waters. (7) "I know my people's love of the land. I hear your words, but I do not think you share this love. (8) When you speak, I hear only your want. (9) I hear only your need. (10) Your need is for a place to hunt. (11) Your want is for a promise of safety. (12) For this, you make offerings. (13) Very well. (14) There is enough here to share. (15) I accept your offerings, and I welcome you in peace." (16) He did not understand why later they expected him and his people to leave the area.
Which meaning of the word base is used in sentence 2?
A. a supporting foundation
B. a center of operations
C. a sand-filled bag
D. a main ing
Answer:
B). A center of operations.
Explanation:
The word 'base' has different denotations and connotations varying on the context in which it is used. In the given context, it stands for 'a central place from where all the decisions are made for a specific purpose or an organization.' Here, the harbor which is 'well protected from the sea' is reachable and therefore, the 'vessel sailed to Dutch West India Company' which will serve as the base(center of operations) from where all the decisions or actions would be controlled. It will serve as the center from where the entire company trade will be operated. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

What was the solution to the debate over the slave status of new territories in the Kansas-Nebraska Act?
Answer: Popular Sovereignty
Explanation:
Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).
In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.
The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.
With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.

Which of the following topics would be most appropriate for a Descriptive Speech? What are the major beliefs of christianity?
a. the life of Harrison Ford.
b. how to sell a product.
c. why you should donate money to the Salvation.
Answer:
b. How to sell a product is the correct answer.

The goal of the descriptive speech is to narrate about an event, phenomenon or an object so that the listener can visualize the image being portrayed by the speaker.
How to sell a product is the right topic for descriptive speech as the speaker will have to describe about the object and its qualities. Later he will have to describe how it can be sold.
