what did mya refer to as a foreign country ? in the book i know why the caged bird sings

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mya referred to St. Louis as a foreign country.

Explanation:

"I know whyy the Caged Bird Sings" is an autobiographical account of the life of Maya Angelou. This book narrates about the childhood of Maya.

Maya and her brother lived with their paternal grandmother after being left by their parents. In chapter 2, Maya describes how she, at the age of three, and her brother Bailey, four at that time, were left to travel alone by their father to their grandmother's house. Since then, they lived with their grandmother, whom they addressed as 'Momma.' But one day, their father arrives at Stamps, and take both the kids with him and drops them at St. Louis, where their mother lives.

It was her mother's place, St. Louis, that Mya referred to as 'foreign'. The author feels strange being with her mother, whom she does not know and the country St. Louis 'as foreign', a place with which she would never get used to.

Which headline would best indicate that the priority of the news source is to maintain credibility?

Answers

Answer:

C). Jones High School Senior Wins NASA Award.

Explanation:

The headline that most aptly signals that the key concern of the news source is to maintain credibility as it presents the information factually and objectively without including any kind of descriptive words that might display author's opinions or beliefs. It presents the information with necessary formality that hints the readers that the news source offers facts without any bias and primarily aims to establish credibility among its audience. The other options either lack formality or objectivity in its approach. Thus, option C is the correct  answer.

Answers

While Aimee does not appear to change very much throughout the text, she is the one who makes the discovery that Lily's marriage is real and rushes around trying to help Lily and her prospective lover. Aimee is also the one who faces the conflict most directly, as she discovers the identity of the man that Lily plans on marrying and has to try to stop the train. At the end, it is Aimee again who realizes that Lily has left her hope chest on the train, and she feels sadness for her.

Lily also does not appear to undergo significant change, and she does not speak very much for herself. However, she gets the reader's real sympathy because of the way she is pushed around. When the other women come to tell Lily she is going to Ellisville, she is pathetically packing her tiny hope chest. When the women discover that the man is real and try to get Lily off the train again, Lily begins to cry and is confused at the change that the women have now pushed her into.

Ancient domesticated cats' travel and relationship with humans resulted in their

Ancient cats gained more from being domesticated than humans did, as humans

provided them with food and shelter.

Humans domesticated cats to hunt mice and protect grain, similarly to how they

domesticated dogs and cattle.

uestion 2

Answers

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.
