Which response best explains how author Mark O’Mara aims to improve society in the article "Gun Debate? What Gun Debate?"
A-O’Mara presents new evidence about the usefulness of guns in society in order to help gun advocates and opponents find a measure of common ground.
B-O’Mara shows the strengths of both sides of the American gun debate to help gun advocates and opponents find a measure of common ground.
C-O’Mara reviews the arguments of gun-rights advocates in depth in order to use emotional appeals to persuade the audience of the devastation of gun violence.
D-O’Mara puts statistics about gun deaths in a new light in order to shock readers into acknowledging the devastation of gun violence.
Answer:
D- O’Mara puts statistics about gun deaths in a new light in order to shock readers into acknowledging the devastation of gun violence.
Explanation:
In the news article "Gun Debate? What Gun Debate?", Mark O'Mara presents a factual and insightful account of how the freedom to possess guns has led to numerous deaths in and around the country, especially among the younger generations. This 'gun culture' has allowed easy access to the weapon which also became one of the major leading causes of deaths such as the school shootings.
The article gave a statistical report on how much American youths have been killed due to this easily accessible freedom. Even though there are numerous ways of preventing these deaths, the government seems to find no plausible solution to stop the violence. He mentioned that "there have been 74 shootings on or around schools or colleges in the year and a half since the Sandy Hook massacre. That's averaging one a week." This is solid evidence of what the free access to guns has led to, and he is sure that there will be another school shooting shortly.
His went on to state that "Suffering 30,000 gun deaths annually is not a reasonable sacrifice to make in order to blindly maintain our unrestricted gun culture, particularly when the rallying cry is an outdated reference concerning infringement which, known to anyone who has actually studied the Constitution and our founding fathers who drafted it, was a reference to the then-existing reality that young men, when called upon to defend the state and the laws of the state, were expected to provide their own arms."
And so, O'Mara's opinions on how to improve society can be best seen in his presentation of the statistics about gun deaths. He presents them in a new light, shocking readers into acknowledging the level of devastation that gun violence has on us.

How was teamwork used in Sonata for Harp and Bicycle
Answer:
Teamwork was used by J a so n and Miss Golden to reunite the dead gho sts of W il liam H eron and Miss Bell and help break/ put an end to the cu rse that has been over Gri me s Building for fifty years.
Explanation:
Jo an Aiken's "Sonata for Harp and Bicycle" is a short story about a haunted office space after the s u i ci de of a man who had previously worked as the ni ght wa tc h man of that building. The story revolves around the attempts of two people in trying to reunite the dead lovers' souls/ gho sts and break the c ur se that has been put over the Gri mes building.
Jason A sh grove had been intrigued about the need to rush out of the office building at exactly 5 pm. And after one night's stay to find out the truth, he had been 'cursed' which led his assistant, Miss Golden, to interfere and tell him about the cur se. The story about the sui cide of the ni ght wa tch man William Heron after his lover Miss Bell failed to turn up for their usual meeting led to the cu rse that whoever stays in the building after 5 pm is bound to jump off from the fire escape. And ever since, the cu rse had been there over the whole building.
After hearing of the story behind the curse, Jason and Miss Golden decided to reunite the two dead lovers and thus, put an end to the cur se. So, unitedly, they planned for a meet-up at 10 pm, bringing roses and wine just like Mr. Heron had done the night he died. Then, with the help of an R. A. F. friend, Jason had accessed a parachute with which he led Miss Golden safely out of the building through the fire escape after leading Heron to Miss Bell's room at 492.
And through their united effort, the two dead ghosts were united and also led to the end of the cur se at Gri mes building.
ead the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows. Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. Which of the following statements best describes this paragraph?

Even given current trends in modern usage, which of the following statements is always INCORRECT? A) It is a nice day today. B) That’s an awfully large bug bite. C) Steve and Sally asked Mike and I out for dinner. D) I am pretty happy with my test scores.
Answer:
C) Steve and Sally asked Mike and I out for dinner
Explanation:
It is grammatically wrong to use the subjective case pronoun "I" after a verb (asked) especially if you consider omitting "Mike and". It would be more suitable and grammatically correct to replace the subjective case pronoun "I" to the objective case pronoun "me".
Therefore, given current trends in modern usage, option C Steve and Sally asked Mike and I out for dinner is always INCORRECT?

How does the photograph in "African American Women in World War II" provide support for the text? by showing an example of African American women working during wartime by showing an image of a powerful African American leader during the war by showing an image of African American nurses joining the war effort by showing an example of the Women's Army Corps during wartime
Answer:
A). by showing an example of African American women working during wartime.
Explanation:
The photograph functions to exemplify that African American women used to work during wartime. It allows the author to substantiate his claim and offer support for his text that primarily deals with the position of women during World War II and how the extreme war pressure 'led to the dropping of quotas' and gave African American women the authority to serve in different sectors. Therefore, the image serves to not only justify the claim but also to promote a better understanding and easy acceptance of the claim among the readers. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

In stephan crane's naturalist story, the repetition of the term "sacred cheese" invokes the idea of This idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are
Answer:
Seeming powerless
Caught in a trap
Explanation:
According to Stephen Crane's naturalist story, 'The Open Boat', the term that is repeated, "sacred cheese" invokes the idea of seeming powerless and this idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are caught in a trap.
The repeated term 'sacred cheese' refers to food which a hungry man can see but is not allowed to eat and in the same vein, the narrator's ship gets shipwrecked and is unable to get to the land which shows that he is powerless as he can see land but cannot get there.
Read the statement below and decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the reading. Here's your discussion prompt:
We can't have heroes without monsters.
What do you think? Write a paragraph supporting your opinion and then write a reply paragraph. If you're working with others, your reply paragraph should respond to the ideas of another student. If you're working alone, your reply paragraph should support the opposite point of view from your own.
We can't have hero's without villains/monsters. So I AGREE. Because hero's are only hero's because of the fact of us having monsters. Who would they face? Nothing? Then they wouldn't be hero's. We need bad things /people to have HERO'S to save and help us otherwise if everything was perfect, we wouldn't need hero's.
Answer:
I Agree 100% because the heroes defeat the monsters that have demolished our town took our cattle. Then the hero comes along and defeats the monster. Then the town likes hooray and is also like our hero. Then when another monster comes it starts all over again. For example if u have read the Ranger Apprentice series then you know Ranger Will has fought all kinds of monsters. Hope this helps.
