PART A. In the section titled, "Location, Location, Location" Gotham Greens CEO Viraj Puri states, "For a lot of reasons, Chicago checked a lot of boxes for us."


How does the author’s word choice for this section impact the tone of the section? What does Puri mean by this statement and how is his claim supported in the text?

Answers

Hello. Unfortunately you did not enter the text this question refers to and it is not possible to find it by the section title. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

The tone of a text is the feeling the author wants the reader to feel while reading. In this case, to answer this question, you will need to read the entire text and identify the tone it presents. This tone is modified by the sentence "For a lot of reasons, Chicago checked a lot of boxes for us," as the question indicates. Thus, the feeling expressed by the text is modified and you must identify this modification, that is, you must inform what was the old feeling and what is the new feeling, presented by this sentence.

Next, you need to identify what this sentence adds to the text, that is, why it was added to the text, what meaning it carries.

You must also present how this sentence is supported in the text. This means that you should look for other sentences that show that Chicago actually checked the boxes, that is, you should look for sentences that prove this happened.

Yoyo didn't need much encouragement. She put her nose to the fire, as her mother would have said, and read from start to finish without looking up. When she concluded, she was a little embarrassed at the pride she took in her own words. She pretended to quibble with a phrase or two, then looked questioningly to her mother. Laura's face was radiant. Yoyo turned to share her pride with her father. What does the underlined idiom tell the reader about Yoyo

Answers

Hi. You didn't underline anything in the above text, but from the context of your question, we can understand that the "idiom" the question refers to is the expression "put her nose to the fire." In that case, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer:

The expression "put her nose to the fire" means that Yoyo worked hard and dedicated himself to deliver the speech.

Explanation:

As we can see in the text above, Yoyo was very dedicated to being able to speak at such an important assembly. In addition to creating the speech, he had to overcome the shame and stage fright and even the fear of expressing herself. But the text shows that she is a very dedicated girl who worked hard for this achievement. All this effort is represented by the expression "put her nose to the fire," which shows that Yoyo put herself in a situation that was uncomfortable for her, but that she was ready to face it.

Answer:

She worked hard to finish her speech for the assembly.

Which detail from the passage demonstrates a subjective perspective?

“Through the midst of the city [Baghdad] flows a very large river”
“from Baghdad to the sea is a journey of fully eighteen days”
“Merchants travelling to India follow this river to a city called Kais”
“in groves all around Basra grow the best dates in the world”

Answers

Answer:

D. “in groves all around Basra grow the best dates in the world”

Explanation:

Perspective based on the question could either be subjective or objective, subjective perspective has to do culled or extracted opinions based on personal volition, belief or desire. In most cases, subjective opinions aren't physically measurable as facts used to backup such opinion might be based on sentiment or exposure. Objective perspective on the other hand is usually well established as opinions of this sort can be physically evaluated. Hence, from the passage, the sentence, “in groves all around Basra grow the best dates in the world" is based on subjective perspective.

Answer:

D. “in groves all around Basra grow the best dates in the world”

Explanation:

D. “in groves all around Basra grow the best dates in the world”

Lady Capulet observes that Juliet "was too young to know that there
is little more useless than a boy." What themes about love and duty are revealed through
through her point of view?

Answers

Answer:

To her, duty is more important than love

Explanation:

Lady Capulet relates Juliet's understanding to that of someone who still does not have requisite understanding due to her age. Her statement, that there is little more useless Than a boy means that indulging in a relationship is almost the last thing one should adore or get preoccupied with. Therefore, we can deduce that Lady Capulet gives significantly more credence to duty than love. Hence, she feels Juliet's who has given in to love is mistaken and ties Juliet's understanding to her lack of experience.

Well...this kind of question is...not sure how to say it but...answers may vary from different people. But I would go with A. Unusual
Because B? Dangerous? Yeah Mars is dangerous but saying it’s red doesn’t mean it’s dangerous. Saying Mars have dust storms would mean it’s dangerous. C. Different? That’s what I meant when I say answers may vary. Some people would choose this because earth is not red, and therefore, different. But I believe unusual is the best word here. D. Beautiful? Yeah that’s more like an opinion, no. E. Similar? Similar in what way? Earth isn’t red.
I would say it’s A. There is no other planet that is like Mars. Mars is red on the outside, and no others are!

What is one of your goals that you would like to accomplish?

Answers

I have a lot of little goals I hope to accomplish during my life, but I think the main one is to be happy. No matter where I end up, or what I end up doing, who I end up with, I hope to be happy. People try to plan every single moment of their lives to ensure success, but in reality, no one can predict the future. One of my favorite quotes is by Harry Styles, "If you're happy doing what you're doing, then nobody can tell you you're not successful." We can plan everything down to how many kids we hope to have and their names, but in reality you never know how something will make you feel until you're feeling it. So, I hope whatever life has in store for me, I feel content and happy.

Even after we graduate, they'll keep putting Hispanic players down. We have a chance to stop it now. Finally there was no more to say. The question came: "Who votes not to play the next game?" Every player raised his hand. That night, Neto, Jesse, and another teammate walked into the coach's office and handed him their uniforms and pads. They explained why they were leaving and expected him to understand, but they were disappointed. "The coach said, 'Quitting will just make it worse,'" Neto remembers. "He said the fans would call us losers and quitters instead of respecting us. Nothing could convince him. After a while we just walked out." Now there was no turning back. Which idea from this excerpt further complicates Neto’s conflict?

Answers

Answer:

What complicates Neto's conflict is that the team's coach does not oppose the idea that Neto and Jesse had.

Explanation:

According to the text shown above, we can see that Neto, Jess and their teammates are tired of how Latino and Spanish athletes are being mistreated and devalued. They believe that this kind of prejudice will never change and that it damages their future as athletes. For this reason, they decide to leave the team, as a form of protest. However, the coach does not support this decision and claims that leaving the team will only worsen their image within the sport and the audience. This lack of support further complicates the conflict they are involved in.

Answer:

The answer is D. The coach doesn't support Neto, Jesse, and the other teammate.

Explanation:

This is because the coach states that quitting won't help get the problem solved. If he supported the students, then he would've agreed with them. However, he disagreed with them by saying that it wouldn't help to quit

Do enough citizens have the right to vote now ? And among those who can vote, why do you think more of them don't do it?

Answers

Do enough citizens have the right to vote now? Yes, they do.

And among those who can vote, why do you think more of them don't do it? Well, there are many people who vote, but those who don’t vote, at least the people I know who don’t vote are in favor of the kingdom of God, not men. Let me explain, true cristians obey Jesus saying in Mark 12:30 “Love Jehovah God with all your heart, soul and might”. But, they also obey Christ command that states: “Give Caesar the things of Caesar but God the things of God”. So, true Christians don’t vote because it goes against Christ command. Due to the fact that, Christians are in favor or God‘s kingdom not man‘s kingdom. The people who truly follow this principle are Jehovah Witnesses and very few Christians worshippers.

what role does the image of the muffin play in the opening paragraph an expert from dobey and son​

Answers

Hello. You have not shown which text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, after searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question, exactly the same as yours in the book "Dobey and son​." If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer:

The role of this image is to make an analogy about how the baby is wrapped like a muffin being put out to bake.

Explanation:

"Dobey and son​" is a novel written by Charles Dickens and presents a darker and more reflective story compared to the other stories by the author. In this novel, we get to know a man who feels overwhelmed by not having a child, which causes him to reject the only daughter he has.

The babies within this narrative are highly valued and in the opening paragraph, we are presented with the image of a muffin. At first, the reader may not understand what this image means, but the reader can see that, as reading progresses, the image makes an analogy to how babies are wrapped in a sheet. The baby rolled up resembles a muffin packaged to bake, as we can see in the lines:

"Son lay tucked up warm in a little basket bedstead, carefully disposed on a low settee immediately in front of the fire and close to it, as if his constitution were analogous to that of a muffin, and it was essential to toast him brown while he was very new. "
