Answer:

2. What carries water from the mountain to the villages?
3. What do people use to make ponchos, sweaters, socks, hats and scarves?
4. Why is snow disappearing quickly from the mountain?
5. Who suggested a solution to the problem?
6. Which colour absorbs the sun's rays?
The incorrect answer is: ALPACAS carry water from the mountain to the villages.
*The Painting Mountains*
Chalon Sombrero is a mountain in Peru. It is about 5,000 metres high and the weather on the mountain is dry and cold. Snow from the mountain brings fresh water to many villages in the area. This water is important for the people from the villages and their animals –alpacas. Alpacas are like small llamas. Alpacas don’t work, but people in Peru use alpaca hair to make ponchos, sweaters, socks, hats and scarves.
But today, the snow on the mountain is disappearing quickly because the weather in Peru and many places around the world is getting warmer. The nights are still very cold on the mountain, but the days are very hot.
Today, the mountain isn’t white with snow –it’s black. Why is this a problem? Without the snow, there isn’t water for the people and their animals.
Who has got a solution for this problem?
Eduardo Gold, an inventor, has got an idea. He wants to put snow on the mountain again. His idea is very simple. Black mountains are warm because the colour black absorbs the sun’s rays. White mountains are cold because
they don’t absorb the sun’s rays. Gold’s idea is to paint the mountain white! According to Gold, when the mountain is white and cold, there will be snow again. What do people think of Gold’s idea? Some people think it is clever and others think it isn’t. But Gold has
got an answer for them: “Doing something is better than nothing at all,” he says.

Read this paragraph from I Never Had It Made.
Branch Rickey lost that fight, but when he became the boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943, he felt the time for equality in baseball had come. He knew that achieving it would be terribly difficult. There would be deep resentment, determined opposition, and perhaps even racial violence. He was convinced he was morally right, and he shrewdly sensed that making the game a truly national one would have healthy financial results. He took his case before the startled directors of the club, and using persuasive eloquence, he won the first battle in what would be a long and bitter campaign. He was voted permission to make the Brooklyn club the pioneer in bringing blacks into baseball.
What is the author’s purpose for including this paragraph?
A. to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s professional career
B. to inform readers about Branch Rickey’s determination
C. to persuade readers to admit black athletes into professional baseball
D. to entertain readers with a story about Branch Rickey’s adventures

PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN SWORD
please illustrate!!!!
Answer:
The pen has the ability to make peace or war. The sword can only create war.

Contracts determined peace agreements, wars, treaties. The sword could not do that, only fight battles.
This is only my answer, which is also very literal. There's more to it, most likely.
Answer:
Pen is mightier than the sword comes from Korean War. It means that the sword only kills, but the pen is stronger because when you write, you use words. The sword never uses words, only kills.
