Answer 1

Answer: Ancient domesticated cats' travel and relationship with humans resulted in their  widespread presence around the world.

Explanation:

The article in question is called "DNA Tells Tale of How Cats Conquered the World" by Tina Hesman Saey and it focuses on telling how cats spread across the world.

The article concludes from DNA evidence that cats spread to Europe from the Middle East after first being domesticated there. It concludes this by comparing the DNA of cats in those areas now vs the DNA of cats from other parts of the world. The study suggests that this spread was probably as a result of merchants travelling with their cats with some of them leaving to find new homes as cats are a territorial species and so could not have spread across the world were it not for travelling with humans.

(1) With shrinking school budgets, many people have objected to the idea of teaching art and music every semester. (2) However, it is important that students are exposed to art, music, and theater from a young age. (3) These activities are not only entertaining for children but also help them to develop on a fundamental level.
(4) Art and music allow kids to express themselves better than math or science do. (5) Since these activities are creative, they help children think and practice in a creative way rather than in a manner of calculating mathematical or technical operations. (6) According to a recent study, children who engage in the arts regularly are four times more likely than others to participate in math and science fairs, to win an award for writing an essay or poem, or to be recognized for academic achievement.
(7) Besides academic achievement, art and music also help to develop children's motor skills. (8) Activities such as playing an instrument or making a painting using a paintbrush or a crayon help to develop a child's fine motor skills.
(9) Some students lack confidence or suffer from stage fright at school. (10) If these children are given the chance to participate in a school play, to practice singing, or to play an instrument in front of a crowd, it will help to boost their confidence. (11) It also increases the level of focus in students. (12) When students practice art and music repeatedly to master the skill, they improve their concentration and focus as well.
(13) Art and music also play a major role in improving children's social skills. (14) When children participate in an art or musical activity together, they interact with each other and make new friends. (15) Art and music also provide children with a relaxing environment in which to unwind after an eventful day at school.
(16) Many schools are choosing to cut down on art and music classes. (17) However, students should be given the opportunity to experience these activities as much as possible. (18) Students will never truly know what they are missing if they are not shown the world of music and art.

In December 1955, Shirley, a fictional 9-year-old black girl in Montgomery, Alabama, might have written these letters to her cousin Elizabeth in Detroit, Michigan...




December 5, 1955

Dear Elizabeth,


Guess what’s happening in Montgomery? We are having a bus boycott! Do you know what that is? It’s when a lot of people refuse to use a service like the city bus as a way of protesting something. Starting today, black people won’t ride the buses anymore because of the unfair way the bus company treats us.


Remember how it is here? The black people have to sit in the back of the bus, and the white folks get to sit up front. If the bus gets full, the black people have to give up their seats to the whites. It’s the law. You’re lucky that in Detroit, you can sit anywhere you like on the bus. That must be nice. Here’s why we’re having the boycott: Last week, a black woman here named Rosa Parks was riding the bus. She was on her way home from work. When the bus got full, the driver told her to get up and give a white person her seat. She refused! So the police came and arrested her. They took her to jail! Can you believe it? Mrs. Parks said she was tired of giving in to white people. So now, all 50,000 black people in Montgomery aren’t going to ride the bus at all until things change. The bus company sure is going to lose a lot of money!


We’re all trying to help each other. Most black folks here don’t have cars. The ones that do are driving others to work. Black taxi drivers are charging only a dime (the same as the bus fare) instead of 45 cents for a ride. Thousands of people are walking miles to work, school, and church. The buses are practically empty!


The new minister in town, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., is the leader of the boycott. He says that if we protest peacefully with “courage and dignity,”


we can make great changes for black people. Until then, I’ll keep walking!


Love, Shirley




Over a year later, Shirley writes again.




December 21, 1956

Dear Elizabeth,


You won’t believe what I did today — I rode in the front of the bus!


The boycott is finally over, after 381 days. I never thought it could last this long, because the bus company was losing so much money. But the city officials did everything they could to stop the boycott without changing the seating rules. They arrested black drivers for the slightest

reason. They made black taxi drivers charge full fare.


They arrested people who were waiting for rides. Hundreds of people lost jobs and went to jail. A lot of white people were really angry, and Reverend King’s house was bombed!


Our black leaders went to court to end segregation

on the buses. The city fought the case all the way to the Supreme Court.


Now the Supreme Court has said that we can sit wherever we want on the buses.


It wasn’t easy for people to walk so far in all kinds of weather. My friends and I wore out our shoes walking to school. But we’ve kept up our spirits.


We believe this boycott is just the start of equal rights for our people! Tell Aunt Louise you want to come down and visit me here. We’ll ride the bus up front together!


Love, Shirley


How does Shirley respond to the bus boycott?



A

Shirley is angry that a bus boycott is necessary for black people to be treated fairly.

B

Shirley is hopeful about the bus boycott and willing to do her part to create change.

C

Shirley complains about having to walk everywhere, since she can’t use the bus.

D

Shirley hesitates to join her friends and family in the bus boycott, as it’s going to be a lot of work.

B. Eve is hard-working and impatient, while Adam is shy and thoughtful.


C. Adam is independent and reckless, while Eve is social and curious.


D. Adam is social and impatient, while Eve is independent and thoughtful.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Adam is independent and reckless, while Eve is social and curious.  (C.)

Explanation:

From the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, the qualities chosen the answer is typical of both of them because:

Eve:

Social : Eve was social because she could strike a conversation with a strange character (the serpent) even without the grounds of familiarity.

Curious : The fact that she took of the forbidden fruit and ate it showed her curiosity, because the story told us that she saw that the tree was good for food, and a tree, desirous to make one wise, these built up curiosity in her, leading to her eating of the fruit.

Adam:

Independent : God gave a first hand instruction to Adam, despite that, he still chose to eat the fruit when eve gave it to him, this showed and action of independence from his creator.

Reckless : to be reckless means to take an action, not minding the dangers involved. God told Adam that in the day he eats of the fruit he will die, despite this proclamation and possibility of death, Adam went ahead to eat the fruit, not minding the dangers.

Power and water providers have smart metering and analysis systems sophisticated enough to deduce what appliances we are using at various times of day (e.g., cellphones charging and an air conditioner running), when we shower (and for how long), and when we sleep. List several ways you can think of that this information could embarrass or cause problems for a person if leaked, stolen, or acquired by law enforcement agents.

Answers

Answer:

I could think of ways, but only when could is replaced by should in the sentence ... this information could embarrass...

Explanation:

I think that our power and water consumption in general doesn´t cause embarrassment nor problems. Even if it is proved that we don´t sleep till 5 AM. Maybe only when power providers find out what we are watching at 3 o'clock in the morning.

I use should instead of could but I realise that the time that people will get embarrassed or into trouble by using up water and electricity without the least consideration of the environment, is still pretty far away.  

The electrical usage monitoring system, which is most frequently observed through meters mounted outside a home or facility, is one component of a heating and cooling system that is frequently disregarded.

What is smart metering?

A smart meter provides thorough consumption data to lower electricity costs and raise awareness of the electricity grid's condition, which enhances the grid's performance and the level of service provided to customers.

The use of smart meters to help manage energy consumption and offer useful feedback to both end users and utility companies has grown over the past few years.

A household's data being communicated to a supplier raises potential privacy issues, which are the main concern of smart meter detractors in addition to the expense.

Energy companies are insistent that they are the only ones who can see your data and that it cannot be shared with anybody else without your express consent.

Thus, this way, it can embarrass or cause problems for a person if leaked.

What lessons has the yew tree taught Conor so far? You might want to look back in the novel to different places they speak together, and the stories the tree tells.

Answers

Answer:

The yew tree (the monster) taught Conor through its stories is that Conor should accept and understand that his feelings regarding his mother's sickness are contradictory, that he wants to let his mother go even while desperately wanting to save her from death, and that these feelings do not necessarily make him a bad person.

And also that only by acknowledging that fact can Conor be free of the guilt he feels.

In essence the monster helps Conor interpret his feelings and understand that they are just as valid as those of the characters in the monster's stories.

Explanation:

Conor expects all the stories the monster tells him to bear clear moral lessons because of the similarities they bear to his own life, but the monster  implies that it was only trying to help him understand human nature and life itself.

However despite this the monster's stories are supposed to make Conor able to see his life from a different perspective and interpret his contradictory emotions, which are all lessons in reality.

Conor learned that the primary lessons of all three stories in the monster's words, "There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad guy. Most people are somewhere in between."
